I'll be getting some seat time with the SRT-4 for practice...don't want to burn her up getting tree time. Of course I'll have to sort the 69 out before hand though..... :D

Thanks Ron! I have my fingers crossed for ya! It's going to take a while....there is only 1 guy making the phone calls. Man I feel for that guy!
We're gonna see what I can squeeze out of this Hemicar yet! :D
You and your team need to come up with a T-shirt or something and let us know so we can all keep an eye out for you. Best of luck, from what I see its some of the most fun car people ever have.
That's awesome, good luck!

the sites logo ;). Of course though, it'll be hard to miss that sweet '69 R/T
i agree with gody, however, what you do is put the 69 on the back and the sites logo on the front where the pocket would be, i think thatd be cool, but then again its only my opinion

Isn't this the show that if you lose the race you lose your car? If so, do you really mean that comment?

That would be the normal PINKS. He got into PINKS ALL OUT. In All Out, you dont loose your car. You win cash and then you can bet it if you want.

Pinks is July 25/26. Carlisle is July 10-13.
Are we going to have to have try-outs or draw straws or have a lottery to be on Doug's pit crew now? I volunteered in a roundabout way before :icon_smile_cool:

That's cool as hell! :cheers: What criteria did they use to pick you? Usually they're looking for a certain bracket aren't they? :scratchchin:
what times does your charger run now/ will run?
Congrats.!! :2thumbs: I am registered for the Pinks All Out in Sept. at Infinion Raceway. I need to get some rear tires now.
Cool! Now all you have to do is fly Ron (if he doesn't get in) and Chryco down and have them tune your car for you. I probably missed this bit of info so forgive my ignorance but which car are you using?

Oh, cool. That will be nice to see the '69 on the track. :2thumbs: Can't wait. I wouldn't do that other Pinks show for anything... unless I drove a Chevy. :D

I'm in the hunt for low 11s...but I have a lot of work to do before I get there. The motor has it in it, just need to get the chassis up to the task.

Awesome, Doug!!! :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

Doug, you're the King of chop bustin here ! :icon_smile_big: No offense taken :rofl:
No e-mails yet but i did call them and had an interesting conversation. They're "looking into it" as we speak and realize that there are some technical issues that need sorting out. I informed them that mine wasn't the only application that was rejected and shouldn't have been. The original e-mail with the 12:01 timestamp has been forwarded to a different (Etown) address as well as the rejection e-mail....so they will be able to see what happened. They also checked and verified that i did in fact register on the e-townpinks group on dec 28th and recieved confirmation. I am also a current member of that Yahoo group. :yesnod:
So, the only thing i can do is wait and see. Had i not called them there would not have been any phone call coming because they never recieved the original e-mail. Man this computer stuff is frustrating.....gimme a motor to wrench on instead ! ;)

That's great news. Problem is I read every thread trying to figure what the heck you're all talking about. :shruggy: I got the idea it's a show that you race with others. Never heard of it on this side of the pond. Can someone give a little more detail info? I've seen this thread for a while, but had no interest in the color pink so never clicked it. :lol: ( I'm serious). When I saw Hemi Doug wrote it, I said oh He's cool lets see why he likes the color pink so much to start a thread about it? ;D It was about at that point I see it's a whole different story line.

I'm in CT so my side of the pond is the same side your on, I think? Last time we wrote each other you promised me a ride in the Charger and I would think If your gonna be in PA, were probably from the same country. :patriot: I don't get speed channel, I have to call my cable company, I love that channel.
OK.....This is what threw me.....

So I just naturally assumed you were on "the other side of the pond".... :icon_smile_big:

I wonder if they require a hood for Pinks?? That 14:71 would look killer sitting on top of the new 648 cubic inch monster. Especially with all that beautiful alky. injection plumbing!! :D

Well, after reviewing the NHRA rules it looks like I need to cap my ET at 11.50. :flame: Ain't no way I'm putting a rollbar in it for one race so we'll see what we see in the spring. All this time I thought the rollbar rule was 10.99 and under. Man that sucks! :flame:
Ron...Any word yet? :shruggy:
No way man....don't butcher your ride. :Twocents: :Twocents:
