They finally got all the particulars done for the show at Firebird Raceway in November. Got the Pinto registered and it looks like my entry was #343. Not sure how many are going to able to register but I heard it was 400 cars. I can almost bet the number of Pinto drag cars will be relatively small...maybe 2. I know of a station wagon here in the area as well. We'll see how everything goes. I'll be out there representing...hopefully kickin some butt and taking names...LOL
All i need is times and i will be able to make it. Im not worried about tickets =) Give me any details you can ill be there rootin ya on

Good luck and just have fun.
Getting picked is a roll of the dice.
I went to the Topeka race and you had to jump through a lot of hoops.
And wait, wait, wait! In the 100 degree heat.
i wont be running a car, unless its my buddies 10second STI. otherwise im grounded from racing until I get my car ready to roll
Well the nice thing about doing Pinks in November is that it's not hot...or it's not supposed to be...lol. I look at it this way, if I dont make the cut it's fine with me. I'm just out to say I've been there done that. Anything else will be a bonus.
I ran the pinks show here in tulsa Ok, I had a great time even tho I didn't get picked two yrs in a row. I went with the idea to have fun and thats what I did, alot of people here picked Rich and gave him crap, so I'm told it will no longer be comming here, I spent good $$ both times and still had lots of fun and saw some nice cars that I don't always see, I guess I'll have to travel if I want to do it again, remember go to have fun and if you happen to bring home the $$ its a plus. Good Luck. :fastcar:
A lot of people don't realize that their actions are louder than words. Make someone mad and they get you back one way or another. If he doesn't show up in Oklahoma again you can blame those guys that gave him crap. I'm going with the intent of having the time of my life, win lose or draw. Gotta see how many Pinto guys and gals show up for this...I hope a lot.
If i could i would run my car. but shes not well enough for track life yet. I am looking into a 2.8 that i seen in a mustang, Im hoping its a good block/heads for a rebuild. if its already been rebuilt. then i wont have a use for it. Ill have to get a reman engine offline or through a local parts source. (checker,Autozone or something like that) Either way alot of my parts buying will be in Feb/March when i get my tax return, should be about 7k so ill have some money to get her back up an don the road.
I know you have to have a car thats 12.99 or faster so if you shoot enough spray to it...it'll run ...LOL

for maybe one pass lol. Ill message a friend about his STI, perhaps I can run that =)
I went to the Pinks All Out last year at Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield, Ca. It was a blast, there was a lot of nice cars and the general atmosphere was upbeat and positive.
But it was in September and boy was it HOT!! :hypno:
so much for using my buddies STI lol.. he blew the turbo up.... spiked the turbo at 27lbs and seized it
Thats not good...
yeah.. he's looking at a larger STI turbo right now. not like he doesnt make the money for it. lol.
lol...I never got into turbo charging. I might try it someday on a 2.3
its fun. specially when you have to have the manifold custom made. >.<
That sounds expensive...not fun...lol
for him money doesnt mean much, hes paid for the car itself about 40k. its an STI Version 6 or 7, with all the options. Hes had the intake plenum redone and the restrictor plates pulled, and internal Blow off installed and ECUtek done to it. Not to mention the 3in exaust(not STI standard its Borla i think) hes sunk a real good amount into the car, He drifts it. thats all he really does with it.
I wish had the problem of too much money...LOL
