Default Pinks All Out question.....

Went to the Pinks All Out at Etown. Raced my 67 Chevelle. (see pic!) Hot, hot, hot!! Car usually runs around 10.18...but with the heat and the mufflers...best was 10.37. Good times though for sure. I went to the event at Maple Grove last year...it seemed a little smoother to me. I have a better pic, but have not scanned it yet.



Talk about bad luck......I went up for my first pass (on Fri) and got a flat in the burnout box. Picked up a nail. Luckily someone had a spare tube in their trailer that I bought off them! Saved my butt! Etown being the classy track that they are let me "make up" my first pass though, which I thought was awesome. I am not used to being treated so "fairly" being as I usually race at New England Dragway (another story!!)

Question: They told me I was a "featured" car. So, I was told which lane to go in, etc. But that's about all I was told. Does anybody know what it means to be a "featured" car?

So I think you guys were in lane 12. I believe the featured cars were cars that are going to be used in this years Pinks All Out out takes episode. For last year this was a 1/2 hour episode that featured lots of tidbits from all of the current years shows. Please correct me if I am wrong.
