Very cool! I like them too! Thanks.

Has anyone gave thought to having a picture arcive thread where we could post pictures of any and all pinto we find for reference for everyone? All of our own pintos included? Tubbed, full chassis, v8's turbos, wheels body mods. All of the above? I think that would be very very cool!

I agree...think we need to define catagories, street, drag, left turn racing, left & rigth turn racing, v8, turbo'ed, other? historical? present day? lets get the best option of catagories together and present to the forum moderator? is this how you did it?

Sounds like a great idea on the break downs! some cars could fit in more then one catagory. Like 2.3 turbo catagory, but could also fit into track racing as well for some or drag racing for others! I think it is a beautiful idea. Perhaps we should pave the way, then post it on the forum as a poll and take that to the admin? I am sure with that, it would give them a chance to chime in so it can get streamlined. Thanks.

Yes, no offense to some of the people on here, but the same goes for derbys! Sure wish they would use something newer! LOL. Its like a couple of years ago I saw a guy driving a road runner in a derby! Doh! He must have been one lucky sob to get it cheap enough to run in the derby! It killed me watching that thing get all smashed up!! I wanted to run out there and say hey buddy, Ill give you a grand for it right now before you start! LOL>
