First DP on pinks all out feb 21 @ 7p

chlngr73 · 02-18-2011, 11:29 PM

For all the non dp and cj haters on here, our chally # 98 will be on PAO from the houston race in october. We made it in with our super street car too, but jason got knocked out in the 32. I made it down to the final 8, and got beat on the drop. Crazy that we will get more air time going to a pinks race than we did being runner up at indy! Oh well, we had a blast, and hopefully we can get some positive exposure for class racing. I kept trying to explain what the car was and how it was classed, but kept getting blank stares, lol. Just hope they say something about it being a AA stocker. I believe rusty hall went to the final 8 as well in his mustang at the phoenix race, so we should have two stockers back to back shows! Hope y'all enjoy, I know we will.

Congrats!
Btw, the only thing anybody hates about them are the bogus hp ratings. Put them in the right class at the right weight and people wouldn't have anything to complain about. People just don't respect cars with bogus hp ratings and/or soft indexes.

Yea I know I was just kidding because of all the new car bashing that goes on here. I would rather everything be right and have a closer race, but looks like only time will fix this problem. For now we will just enjoy racing the car like we did with the duster.

Congrats also,glad you're getting some airtime. Just out of curiosity who did you get the blank stares from? Was it the show staff or fellow competitors?

Thanks, it was a little of both. Mainly the show staff though, I was trying to explain that it was a stocker and the class it ran in and they acted like I was speaking Greek!! LOL It was a great experience though, would definitely do it again.

I know the stares you are talking about.. I try to explain class racing and people tell me I'm crazy for wanting to race that way!!!! And this is racers.....

Congrats for making it as far as you did!!!!! I did PAL one time and didn't make the show. Too fast .... But would do it again!!!!

Chlngr73: Tnx,had always suspected the staff didn't know or care about classes,only about "monster"engines,noise and drama. Guess thats the course you must set to have a successful program,and hopefully will get some new people interested in drag racingas spectators or competitors. Will be sure to watch .
