Me being a very big Camaro fane. Especially 2nd Gens. Also love the color Blue. I had to go look at that car. When I was the guy just walked up to me and asked me something about an announcement over the PA. I recognized him right away and I just asked him if this was the red car he ran on "Pinks" and if he still had the FORD in it. He smiled and said ,'Yea" then told me that the red paint was falling off the car. I think he told me that he saw a Toyota truck that color blue with the stripes and liked it. So he painted the car that way. Just wanted a change. Real nice guy. I saw that he had a name of transmission shop on the car. I should have asked him if that was his shop. If so. I might go to him for the tranns for my 71 Camaro.
On another note about that episode of pinks. You remember the winner. The guy with the green 86 Firebird S/G. That is the dad of a racing family here locally. the Dolezal family. You remember that his wife was on that show in the final 8 cars with a S/C dragster. You remember their son adn daughter in the lanes with them? Well they all have race cars. I see them at all the races at Firebird and sometimes at our other track on the other side of the valley, Speedworld Raceway Park. The daughter use to run the mom's old s/c Vega, but at this years Div 7 opener at Firebird. They had a new family car that I think the daughter was driving. So I bet this is where the "Pinks" money went into. LOL This was a really well built , very pro looking race car.

This just shows what the show "PINKS ALL OUT" is doing for our sport for the little guys. I think that it is one of the best things to happen to Drag Racing. I hope to maybe one day have my Camaro done and be able to get a crack at being on that show.
Hey, I like your Camaro. Do you still have it?
Oh yea, Disturbed is one of my favorite bands, too. Saw them on this tour. AWESOME live band. Dan Donegan is one of the best Metal guitair players today in my opinion. They are a close 2nd to my favorite band. SlipKnoT. I was thinking about naming my Camaro when it is done, "Psychosocial"
I would post some pics of my Camaro, but there really is not much to see right now. LOL!
Race On...

yup! most certainly i remember that episode now! that green firebird hauled *** on there. but i was thinking that the red camaro was a different episode lol just proves i need to watch pinks all out more (been watching Pass Time way too much! I LOVE THAT SHOW!) lol so they used their 10k on that chevy 2? damn. 10k can sure go a long way! i could halfway build a comp eliminator car!!!! haha (I wish...) that 75 camaro of ours... we dont have it anymore my dad sold about 2 years ago cause hes a jackass and never finishes anything he starts lol damn shame. that thing was set up for nitrous and had a 10 pound empty bottle of nitrous in the back of it lol so yeah the person who started building the car had intentions of going VERY fast lol and the radiator in the car apparently was very expensive. all of the front clip was fiberglass, the fenders, the front end, the hood. so yeah the guy who put it all together was wanting to go very very fast. and i couldnt stop playing with the hammer shifter it had in it lol that thing was cool! but i tell you what... my dad could not make up his damn mind on what color that car was gonna be. he was thinking about painting it yellow with black racing stripes like the transformers camaro (since that camaro was the same year as ours) but he didnt paint it that way. he painted it blue with white racing stripes as you can see. but that didnt last he painted it white with orange racing stripes (which i thought was nice... but i liked the blue with white racing stripes better...) So you like Disturbed and Slipknot?! Dude so do i. lol i saw them at the mayhem festival in Bonner Springs, KS THEY KICKED ***! EPIC CONCERT.
