    But it isn't for pink slips. :hmmm:

    reference link: http://www.houstonraceway.com/news.asp?id=23

    Sounds like it might be fun. A few of us are going Friday night in RV's and making at least one night of it (it starts Saturday morning. Who knows when it finishes :huh:.)


    Anybody else in the Houston area going?




    PINKS: ALL OUT Open Competition is coming to Houston Raceway Park in BAYTOWN - on MARCH 17TH!!

    Do you know what this means? Someone at Houston Raceway Park is going to win a crap-load of cash doing what they love to do... Drag racing their car! This event is going to be like a test and tune on steroids. No room for haters... This event is supposed to be fun!

    IMPORTANT: This is an OPEN ALL DOOR CAR competition. Race cars, street cars, we love them all. Must have 4 wheels and pass tech inspection to compete. We prefer you run in the 12's or faster in this monster tournament.

    You know the deal... you get two passes, no negotiating, and if you sandbag at all you're going home. Remember, you gotta be running ALL OUT!

    Drag racing fans and racers this is your day. Lets show the NASCAR folks how it's done. Bring your friends, family, trailers and RV's ... Get there early, and don't plan on leaving until after dark!!

    Racers, get there VERY early... we aren't waiting for anyone!

    Rich Christensen and Team PINKS will select 16 killer racers from ALL OUT Qualifying to compete for $10,000 CASH and a $7,000 fully-loaded tool chest from NAPA in a Heads-Up, Run-What-Ya-Brung, Let's-Get-Ugly, Shootout, Showdown!

    Rich might pick a group of 9's, 10's, 11's, or 12's! You never know... But you got to be in it to win it!

    Plus, 8 Racers Will Receive $1000 CASH!!!

    Will there be title racing? NO!! So you have nothing to lose and everything to gain!!

    The PINKS team and Houston Raceway Park are working on the details so stay tuned for all the lastest deatails and schedule for the day.

    Look, Rich wants to have a good time and give $18,000 away while watching some Fast, Hardcore, No Bullsh#T Racing! It's that simple.

    So show up and get ready to push your car like it's never been pushed before. Oh yeah, you might just have one of the best times of your life!!!

    No Titles Required - No Sandbaggers Allowed.

    PINKS ALL OUT - Will You Be The Last Racer Standing?

    Mill? :hmmm: I'm behind the times if that means "car". :biglaugh: Never heard it called that b4. "Groovy, man." :cool:


    If you do mean my car, I've yet to receive my cam and springs (Ed Curtis said the wrong cam cam in and that he had to re-order). :(

    I'm 90% sure I won't be running. I'm going to 456 gears for the 1/8th mile. Unless I put some super tall tires on the Mav, I wouldn't make it to the finish line without grenading the engine.


    I have a buddy who has an 8 second Mustang that he's slowing down to run the 9's and another (or two) who will be running the 10's. I'm sure I'll know a few more racers once I get there.

    You can borrow my racing seat if you want. It'll require you to drill 4 new holes, but that shouldn't take too long.

    I wouldn't worry about the carpet.

    Lemme know.

    Jamie said, "Daddy." Daddy is about our age. I'm surprised he didn't say Nerd.

    Just a little deuce coupe with a flat head mill
    But she'll walk a Thunderbird like it's standin' still
    She's ported and relieved and she's stroked and bored.
    She'll do a hundred and forty in the top end floored
    She's my little deuce coupe
    You don't know what I got :)
