Killer customs picked for PINKS - Lateral-g Forums

Blake Foster · #1 08-12-2006, 05:17 PM

WEll i know some dont like it, the show i mean, but when we got the call from Rich Christenson the producer and he told us that season 4 will be totally different we bit on the hook!!
so here is the deal
WE will be building a protouring style car to compete against a drag car, at Seattle raceway on september 23 to be the first episode of season 4.
we are looking for a second gen camaro or 66-67 chevelle beaumont, gto
we need something by Wednsday and that gives us 4 weeks to build it and hopefully a day to test then in the trailer and off to the track to beat the drag car.
the car Must run between 10.40 and 10.60
plans are a 700 hp 572 ( just happen to have one sitting in the showroom)
power glide and brake(undr the bench)
9" (in the old race car)
18" wheels with Mickeythompson Radial DOT tires
it will be a bit of a cross between a protouring car and drag car, it has to hook so the suspension will be a 4 link but it will look like a pt car
i hope some of you can come out and watch and lend support. should be a really cool time

Dang...That sounds like fun!

That is cool. We talked to them about doing it. They were selling it as a $5000 comercial at SEMA last year. We through our name in the hat, they called, but wanted us to come to Arizona! What sucks is they were 80 miles up the road at Gainesville later in the season, but I think they were pissy cause we would not trailer across the country to race. We have a 84 Z28 that is perfect for PINKS, And we were willing to race and really give it up if we lost.

Good Luck to you guys. This should be some killer promotion for the shop. Be sure to have some smokin chicks in your possie wearing little shirts with your website on them.

Congrats. Make sure everyone on your team (and some hot chicks like Frank said) within 50 feet of the Pinks square have T shirts with your logo in B I G letters.

there's a guy in MS that wanted $500 for a '67 Chevelle. I use it but I'm sure the floors are rusted among other things. Oh yeah, it's got a 8" tree growing from the engine bay so that may make doing an engine swap a little difficult.
