Anyone know the guy who made it to the "sweet 16" in Pinks All Out? the episode aired Thursday night. Shame, he lost in the first round -- jumped the start. He said that the host held the arm drop to long. He could not keep the brake boost on so he had to launch.

 

What color was the car? Where was it held?

 

Silver

That was a nice car, they need a new host hovewer.

 

What they really need is a Christmas tree with pre-stage and stage lights and let the competititors agree on a time spot so that everyone leaves each time from the same place on the track, i.e. the official starting line. Let the little arm waving guy become a spectator after negotiations.

I guess that takes away the thrill of anticipation that someone will eventually run him over, which given time, I think will happen.

 

He actually did "arm-drop warmups" at the start line prior to the show, during Pinks' recent visit to Marylland Int'l Raceway. I think he wants to be the new Arnald. Shame the Porsche did not run though. I thought I heard the guy say he could run 8s?

 

In a 996TT? Somebody on that show needs to put down the crack pipe.

 

He didn't say 8's. He said mid 10's. And it did. After the trials... he was put in the 10'50's class... and ran. He rolled through the stage and got discoulified. He was fast though. The 10'50 car never caught him.

 

I wonder who's car it was and what it had done to it.

 

Very curious as well!

 

It looked like a 997 turbo and had wheels like the Evoms porsche. I cannot remember the name but will dvr. The group he was running was mid 10s.

I thought it looked like a 997 too.

 

Did you guys see Rich eat it on a sport bike? He thought he was cool and took off at an angle and high sided.

 

Sunday is the replay.

 

Saw that one and thought it was funny how pissed he was that he ate it on TV.
