The Official Hot Rod Thread - Part 2: No Replacement For Displacement

Glad JJ got the show. New Orleans was plain pitiful.

What I’ve seen of him (the cash days events), he annoys the crap out of me.

He puts on a show for sure. Again with the Chief and Shawn podcast, JJ was on one for over 2 hours. That was a good one also.

I am not one to let anybody get up in my face.......for any reason. JJ and I would not get along in that arena.

Understood. I think when he calms down he might not be such a mouthy clown. Some guys we race with went to memphis to tape a show withe them and said when the cameras turned on he was nuttier than squirrel crap but when they were off he was more laid back...almost normal. He does entertain in the sense of it makes me laugh and roll my eyes some too. New O, just doesn't have the right personality with Kye Kelly kind of running the scene. He can race and knows his stuff but he has the personality of rubber duck. I have no idea how he gets along so well with Lizzy Musi..wonder qhat Pat thinks of the whole situation.
I really think the shows will kind of start taking on more no prep racing and a little less street. The OKC guys put together that deal at the track in Memphis and the earlier this month in Bowling Green KY, and Chuck says its part of a planned 8 race no prep series for the show. Hope to find out a little more at PRI

Oh yeah that could be a problem for me too...I would possibly need to take bail money just in case

Speaking of TV shows... I miss Pinks all Out! I raced in two of them. Most of us IndyHP guys ran strong 10's all day at the one here in Indy - 2009. The group of cars they picked for the $10k runoff were only ~.1-.2 seconds faster.

I was paired up against a Fox body Mustang to start the show back ~2008 @ Norwalk Raceway Park. I had split open an intake manifold, rushed it to Ron @ Shearer Fab in Cleveland to weld up at 1AM then barely made the starting line. Bald Rich Christensen for the arm drop start in front of 30,000 spectators to start the TV show! What a rush!

I saw that run I believe. I never missed a show.
I was on the ready for the drawing for the 2009 show and missed the cut......Damn it. And we were ready.

You know what the street scene is all about. That fast and ridiculous (furious...) crap would get you a proper beat down.

Yeah pinks all out wasn't a bad show. Now pinks on the otherhand was terrible. No way I could even think about being involved qith that

Lol. Oh yeah... A couple months ago I am standing at the counter of a speed shop talking smack with some buddies and some wannabe player asks me if I want to grab a lane against his Honda Civic that was out front. I looked out the window, smiled and told him go wash it wax it and put it back in the garage where you found it. He of course became offended and after calling me a few profane syllables, I asked him if it was fast. He said (very proudly) runs mid 12s. So as my buddies giggled like school girls, I told him look me up when it runs single digits

We used to share a weekend with the fart pipe cars at raceway park. They had a huge show and raced in between our classes. Lots of folks strolling the pits checking out our cars. One of the young men stated he was amazed I would be running my Biscayne. It was so big how could it possibly run fast. I asked him how fast his Civic was and he said the same thing your guy did....Mid 12's. I told him the Biscayne would run that number with his Civic in the trunk.
His girl friend cracked up. He eventually started smiling when I showed him my slips for that day.

Edit.....I will say some of those cars are really stupid fast.

Priceless.

Agreed some of those cars are stupid fast ( when done right).

Yeah and I’m betting he had a 1/10th of the cost of his car compared to yours

That's why I didn't spoil it. It's 2 hours long. The racing doesn't start until about 40 min into the first hour.

I started watching it when we went to bed. As usual my eye lids got heavy so I shut it off.
I will catch it tonight.
