I see pinks is coming to Cayuga on July 11-12th. I WILL BE THEIR.

 

I saw that when checking TMP opening dates. If your car is faster then 11.3 you can register, maybe we'll see some local Corvettes there

 

When I said I'll be there, I meant sitting with the crowd. I don't think my stock Z will ever hit 11's.

 

I am so in! Dates booked on the Calander. Ursula asked me what it was going to take to run better than 11:30's in the Z06 and I told her $6500will make it happen. She said I can have half that Should have told her $12K In unrelated new I am having a garage sale this weekend while Ursula is away. Feel free to come over as everything must go! I'm trying to raise $7K for a worthy cause callled um...vettes against street racing We should get a CF event planned around this! Camp at Cayuga etc. Hell of a weekend blast?

 

I am willing to help you out, how does $3,000.00 for the pool sound ?

 

Keeping it stock or not? Your like a tiolet seat.

Got your message about the Nissan(vette killer). It's one crazy car!

 

Sounds like a plan Mike

 

Sorry Guys but Ursula came home early so no sale afterall J/K
Rick, I'm not modding the car buddy. I actually want to keep it stock as I am really enjoying the car the way it is to be honest.

Mark, make it $3500 and the pool is yours

 

Should be a good day of racing as there is $10G up for gabs and there will be lots of fast cars there.

The winner will be really lucky because in order to advance 8 rounds they will have to cross the finish line before the other car without going faster than the time on the death card. All cars have to do at least 11.30 so the death cards will be slower than that. Who ever can slow down their car precisely enough to match the death card will do well. But it's a new style of racing because heads up you go as fast as you can and bracket racing you go for a consistent time which you know your car can do.

Slowing your car down to a time that's given to you AFTER you stage will be difficult. And try launching the car and starting a stop watch at the same time, shift gears, keep the car straight, and estimate crossing the finish line not faster than the death card will be next to imposable.

With the winner getting everything, there will be alot of unhappy campers, who spent the whole day at the track to get a only a couple of runs in.

I wish there was this much interest for regular racing, heads up or bracket. It just so happens TFBM.org will be bracket racing at St Thomas on Sat. July 12 and that is where I'll be with my Camaro.

It would be great to set up a Corvette bracket race one day at the track!

 

Cool bro!

 

Well I have my one buddy who will be bringing his 8 second Camaro to the show but will detune it. I can harldy wait for this.

 

Is the format changing. I don't understand what you're describing. The previous shows have been $18k total with $1k to each first round winner and the $10k to the overall winner. Contestants can use the $1k to bet during the next rounds if they want. There was one show where they all agreed to bet it all each round though. Also, the cars have run 2 all-out qualifying passes and then they have to run within about 2/10's of that or get booted. They also seem to listen and watch for people lifting during their run.

There's interest because it's on TV. It seems Rich used the initial popularity of Pinks to get the Pinks all-out and the Passtime? series on the air. Overall, I think anything that increases the visibility and popularity of drag racing on a track should be considered a good thing. Passtime is fun to watch and try to guess. It's so low budget it's funny. Whisper your mph in Ken's ear for the tie breaker. LOL

I'd like to go but it'd be a long day trip.

I smell something!


Mike - did you get my emails? I get no responses! You're getting as bad as Ricky!

 

Yes different format because it is not PINKS or PINKS ALL OUT.

Already bought the tickets online for both days.

 

I'll call you D. E-mails? U mean tires?

 

What you talking about brotha?

 

Sounds like a nice car but I rather see it do a full speed pass then a 12 second one.

 

I couldn't find that before. So this isn't really a Pinks event at all. Sounds like a quicker answer to Pinks All Out that doesn't require finding 256 matched cars and yet doesn't involve bracket racing.

You know, I've read a lot of negative about Rich and Pinks but it really seems to me he genuinely wants to build a drag racing following and he's mixing it up to make it interesting. Could also be partly wanting to show that racing can be taken off the streets.

YUP!!! Lets go back to the original plan - 4 rears!
