    no dont get the word out cause from what i understand at these events... about 1000+ cars are expected. Now obviously if you dont have a 11 sec or faster car it means nothing to you but still.

    Pinks loves domestic/ imports get hated on, instead of matching import/import they want to see imports get murdered so they match a mildly modded civic against some beast of a chevy with a very healthy 350 or something

    i disagree. they pic cars that would make a good showing on tv and if some crazy imports show up, they have a very good chance of being picked!

    I hate to admit it, but a chevy and honda going head to head, both boost and spray ready, the chevy is going to win. so why doesn't that punk ass Rich match some imports against one another, I dont ever think I can recall a Pinks episode where a import beat a domestic, if anyone can please enlighten me

    if you look at previous all outs, they usually get between 300-and 450 cars that turn out for the event, not 1,000. Having an import or a domestic means nothing at an all out event. They choose a time index and if you run within that index they narrow it down by times and consistensy to get the field, they dont look and see if you got a domestic or an import...just good show. I might enter this for the fun of it.

    from what ive seen,other states have been weak.i mean weak as far as imports go japs and germans. i think the ATL has got the best overall. best 1/4 mile ets best looking and some damn good shops.
    and dammit im tired of lookin at mustangs and novas dominating the tv screen. ive heard all this talk on pinks about repping imports. well i say let em come to GA and let all you 12sec 11 sec 10sec and 9 sec imports show them whats up. you have nothing to loose. you might win 10,000. you might not. but show them that here,here in the ATL we represent.we ride hard. i will be there to bad i have a 16 sec car...lol but you got my support i will be in the stands. i love pinks all out and i would like to see a mob of imports clutter the staging lanes even if they are slow just to say that ga,that the atl is the true home of the tuners.....end rant....lol dont forget to fly them IA stickers after all it is national tv
    yes i am....

    clark cant run b/c he doesnt have a certified cage. he went thru tech at tunerfest then went and put his slicks on and they told him he couldnt run. then turbo dave ran once and let out and they told him if he went 11.99 again he was out so he just blasted 1/8th and let out hard. commerce just blows on tech. thats why most of us only race at steele or sdr or house of hook.

    but we'll see what happens cause they've never had anyone that has the pull of pinks and whether they could stand the embarrassment of pinks saying how stupid their tech is

    I dont know why all these people are crying about imports not winning these shows. Run what you brung and hope you brought enough. Thats how this shiit works. If imports really want to win this, they need to step their game up. This 16 car length head start is bullshiit. Even if you win by 1 car length, you still lost by 15. PUT UP OR SHUT UP!

    I know we have never had any problems at commerce!! Peter ran a 10.2 at 149 ,his cage is not certified and dont even have the D bars installed, they never said a word too him, and he ran it a few times!!

    But at tunerfest they where kinda strict, they checked helmets, made me put jeans on before they would tech me, asked for a jacket and all. So i think it was for that event only they where being an ass, since they had to babysit a bunch of imports on a Sat!

    I know we have never had any problems at commerce!! Peter ran a 10.2 at 149 ,his cage is not certified and dont even have the D bars installed, they never said a word too him, and he ran it a few times!!

    But at tunerfest they where kinda strict, they checked helmets, made me put jeans on before they would tech me, asked for a jacket and all. So i think it was for that event only they where being an ass, since they had to babysit a bunch of imports on a Sat!
    thats why everyone complains about them. if your car looks legit and all yall's cars you race have cages and all, then you get to run. they wont look for certification or anything. but if bee goes and strolls out a low 11 or a high 10 they crawl his butt for the removable door bars!!! just totally inconsistent. they dont want anyone to street race but then they want us to have race cars to come race at the track they got on to me the one time i went up there in the vette and went 11.9. total bull imho. thats why there arent any good races there. they saw cause theyre nhra. but so is valdosta and sc(house of hook) and they let guys run there all the time
