My Pinks All Out Experience in Martin MI

On Friday after getting through tech inspection and picture taking it was time to get on the track. My first pass was in the
left lane I ran a 10.46 @ 130 mph. with a 1.55 60'. After waiting aprox. 3 hours it was time for round 2. Once again I ran in
the left lane this time spinning bad I ran a 10.80 @ 129mph. with a 1.83 60'. That was the end of practice on Day #1. On Saturday
it was time for the show after a drivers meeting it was time for qualifying. My first pass was in the right lane I ran a 10.48 @
129 mph. with a 1.56 60'. MY 2nd pass was also in the right lane I ran a 10.49 @ 129 mph. with a 1.59 60'. After their meeting in
the war room Rich came out to announce a 32 car field. My number was the 3rd one he announced. WE were told to get our cars into
the staging lanes, they already had the races and lane assignments picked out. I was racing a girl in a dodge truck we were the
3rd pairing for the 16 races. I talked to her before our race and she told me she ran a 10.45 & 10.48 during qualifying, so I knew
it would be a close race. I won the race so now I was in the final 16. The next 2 hours was very busy with interviews and they put
in car cameras in the car. Once again they had picked the matchups and lanes for us to race in. I had to race a ford falcon in the
first race of the night. I spoke with the driver and he told me he ran a 10.36 & 10.38 in qualifying. He also said he ran a 10.20
the night before when it was cool during practice, not good news for me since it was now 9:30pm and cooling off. We lined up and when
I let the clutch out I felt the tires spin some. I looked over to my right and the falcon had a good lead on me. I think I dented my
floor boards trying to push the throttle looking for more power. It seemed to me I was catching him, but ran out of track before I
could pass him. Now it was time for one last interview. All in all it was a great time and I will do it again if I get a chance to.
The Pinks All Out Marin MI show will be aired on September 24th at 8:00p.m. on Speed channel.

Re: My Pinks All Out Experience in Martin MI

Rich is a little bitch. He did an event here in Houston and it was called Arm Drop Live. My buddy went thru everything and made it to the final round, BEAT the guy for the win, but ALL THE SUDDEN my buddy evidently "broke out". Rich straight up REFUSED to show my buddy the time slip and swore he ran 6 MPH faster al of the sudden.

Total BS, guy is a *** and i am glad he humiliated his self eating **** on national television on a motorcycle.

Sorry for the rant.

I will look for your ride on TV!

Re: My Pinks All Out Experience in Martin MI

what no fun pic of your car going down the track like I bought?


I had a good time over the weekend while I was down there, only did 5 passes the whole weekend but got to hang out with a bunch of my buddies. I skipped the racers meeting which was a bunch of BS anyways and we got rained out for the top 16 so we just headed home and didn't eat another night at the hotel to watch a few races when they wouldn't let us TnT the rest of that day.

great looking picture, mine is bigger because it's linked off another website instead of uploaded to thirdgen.
