True True. But it is kinda hard not to take on the responsibility of being the one to loose the car when i was the one driving. It is just like when it is the last 3 seconds of the national championship, it is FSU vs Miami and the score is tied. The field goal kicker kicks WIDE RIGHT. But the reality it took the whole team to get them to be tied up yet the field goal kicker takes on the weight of loosing the game. Man he still is haunted by that game that happened 10 years ago. Everyone from the Prospeed team worked real hard to get to St. Louis and the last thing i wanted to do is disappointment my team, which are bottom line my friends. At the same time the team went up there with the knowing that we may loose the car. After the emotional whirlwind of everything you kinda step back and can look at things a little bit more logical. So at first I took it hard then I woke up and said wow i got to do something pretty damn cool with my friends.... an opportunity of lifetime. Because reality is, Pinks is not a sanctioned event, it is a street car race, with all the games of street racing and then magnified 1000 times by being on TV. We were there for ratings. We can negotiate and sandbag all the right or wrong ways but then if Rich doesn't agree well he has the final say so. We sign the cars to him when we get there then if a team does something against the shows rules etc he can keep the car. We have tons of paperwork to sign and agree to prior to being on the show. I signed paperwork several weeks before going and if we didn't show the production company could come after me legally if they so choose. Which is a lot new rules they have put in place because of the no shows and issues they ran into from previous shows. So net net agreed but there is a lot that goes along with itOriginally Posted by BABY J
I had fun and so did the team and i am excited that we had the chance to go and have all the pictures to share our cool experience.
