On pinks all out, they race for cash, not for the cars.

I knew this car looked familiar, I contacted motorsport warehouse a few years back inquiring about canover suspension for the GS after I came across some pics of this do-luck SC. I don't know if he is still on canover but back then he was.

Wow, used to see this car at the Scottsdale Pavillion's on Saturday nights on the regular about 4-5 years ago and always wondered the story behind it.

Default Triple disaster...LOL

I couldn't help but laugh out-loud about Rich Christensen(sp) telling him about being 1)asleep 2)slow 3)late on the launch. Guarantee he could beat me off the line, but those guys see it all. At least he gave some love for making it.

I FINALLY caught this show on at a time where I was near my computer and could record it in EyeTV on my Mac.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex05JZjjp-c

Damn, finally.... I've been trying to catch this for 6 months. Even he didn't have this footage in his videos.

EDIT: be sure to hit the HD button.

Didn't miss what? It's an automatic! Looks like a classic case of super big laggy turbo and a weak stall converter.
