It was done at MIR (Budds Creek) and york U.S. 30 back in the stone age.

Terry,
Don't know how much PINKS you have actually watched but the episode where the POS BACKWARDS WHEEL DRIVE Car went deep into eliminations got plenty of attention. It's in the promotion. The beer drinking masses that I've seen at Pinks could care less if they were racing motorized skateboards after the first half hour. It is a fun event no mater how you watch it and very well promoted. Some may even observe that ?HRA contigencies have dropped while Pinks ain't doing to bad with what they give away. And some good TV coverage for a bunch of lowly bracket types too. Maybe you would be happy if we had 3 heads up classes "Red Camao, White Mustang and Blue Challanger." WAY COOL just line them spectators and tv crews up.

Dosent matter what I think....Im just voicing MY opinion (freedom of speech) All out PINKIE just SUCKS ! I wouldnt waste the elec. to watch it. It reminds me of a bunch of strokes out at 2 AM STREET RACING. Maybe soon one of those guys will get sideways and run over that clown on the starting line . I wonder who is dumb enough to insure that act; Art....glad to hear you straightend out that "RATS NEST" of wiring you had in the passenger side of your piece and how about that excess rubber fuel line that was coiled up in your trunk. Real nice work there. The tech people also thank you. If PINKS is what you guys like by all means go for it. Its just not me and a lot of others also only they dont have the nuts to say anything about it. I still like slow stockers just not FWD.

Embrassing new technology is one thing...letting jap rice burners play in the American playground is another. American cars helped build this nation, and sure, the technology is great, but try to find 10 HP in a 327 that has be around for 50 years. That's technology!!!! Good luck convincing the "all motor" SS/AH cars that your "all motor" car belongs!

Just my 2 cents, maybe 3.

PS, just to be clear...I mean all foreign cars!

Terry there you go again. Did we forget to take our meds today???????
At Atlanta I was pitted next to one of your favorites a 1st gen Camaro with a big block (i think).
There were a lot of spectators walking around in the morning. They stopped to look at my car, take pictures, and ask questions at a rate of 2 to 1 compared to the Camaro.
Nostalgia racing has never drawn a crowd. And will never no matter how much you stamp your feet.

PS there were a few backwards wheel drive cars there going in the 10's in bracket mode.
Please check before you post.
