    Pinks will be in Rockingham, N.C. on April 6 & 7, 2007. It's pinks all out. A chance to win $18,000. And no pink slips. You run what you brung. They are looking for all types of cars that run in the 9's,10's,11's and 12's. www.pinks.tv and www.rockinghamdragway.com If you have cable or sattelite it is on Speed. www.speed.com . This will be a live show taping. The website will be updating soon on the pricing for tickets. When I find out more I'll post it.:yahoo: :drive: :thumbs2:
    I'm going to try to take my car if everything works out. Hope to see you guys there.

    That would really be good to have a mini meet there. I am about 15 miles from there.:Handshake

    This is gonna be an "ALL OUT" effort on my part...I've paid my entry fee and I'm registered.

    I'm gonna be prepping the car for the next 30 days...doing some detuning so I can run as close to a flat 9 seconds as possible,raising or removing the wheelie bars and adjusting suspension so the car will pull a good wheelstand for about 100-150 ft....of course making the car as aesthetically pleasing as possible.
    Sure would be nice to have as many Mav/Comet owners and fans their as possible....we can show these folks that world doesn't revolve around Mustangs and Camaro's:naughty:
    It's gonna be a blast:thumbs2:

    That is right.. Mustang's and Camaro's are too common. With as many Mav's, Comets,Grabbers and Stallions as possible being there will make it soo much more interesting. Mix it up for them.. The old school way.:dance:
