surely someone saw it.. I know some of the guys from louisville ky go watch it pinks everytime its filmed.. I'll ask them if they've seen anything about it.

 

Wow. How anti-climactic. I just read 26 pages of posts and found..... nothing. Time to check some of the tabs of links I encountered throughout.
Hell, I'll link them here and now. Hopefully, some info can be found.

Some thoughts before I go scouring these sites:
a) If the show was taped on the 15th, I'd have expected an online "silence" from RnR during crunch time. I don't think a lack of updates indicates they were misleading anybody about this.

b) It's now been over a week since this race was supposed to go down. Why no leaks of footage? I ran across a leak of the host falling off a bike during one of the tapings shortly after it... er, he went down.

c) Maybe the member's on here haven't looked hard enough? There was a Subie that did a 130 ft gap jump for a far less popular show (Discovery's Stunt Junkies), and it took nearly two months for amateur footage to hit You Tube.

Part C's jump is something I posted about on another forum.

Back on topic..... SOMEONE FILL US IN ON IF THIS WENT DOWN!
(Sorry for the CAPS, but seriously... I'm eager to see this.)

 

anyone??? i want to see this also...

 

Fear not Evo brethern. Even if they lied, you will see an Evo on Pinks. I have spoken to the Producers and there is a very good chance that I will be going on the show next year. I will be racing my father and his 70 Chevelle. We have the biggest Import vs. Domestic Family Feud in history. We are going to settle it on Pinks. The producers loved the whole concept. I just need to wait for the old man to finish the damn car which is going to take some time. I affectionatly call his car the Slowvelle and he calls mine the Mistusissy. So it will be the Mitsusissy vs. Slowvelle showdown some time next summer. I will start my own post when things get fimed up.

 

would you have to go to a different state to be filmed, or will the shows prodecers come here?

 

Better get that drivetrain perfect - may have to go the distance; 5 Hard Launches

Oh yeah - Kick his a$$

 

Then you'd like a project I've had on the back burner for awhile.. V8 powered datsun 210, we had been trying to decide what drivetrain to use..

Anyway..

I watch Pink's on occasion.. and I find it hard to believe there is no compensation, I think if there is, their contractually obligated not to discuss any details about compensation if there is any.

For me, it makes more sense for the show to hold the title(pinks) and "Buy" the loser's car, where they can "buy back" from the winner or show, or however they do it. But I doubt we'll get a straight answer.

 

I'm SOO torn on this one, considering I'm the owner of BOTH a Chevelle and an Evo..

 

if your dad wins will he let you have the car back?

 

There was an episode on pinks where two brothers faced off.

 

That was the best episode IMO. You know they were were running there cars as hard as they could.


Does anyone find it strange that rnr has not posted in this thread in how many months?

 

Yeah I think that it is BS as well. If it wasn't you would see a lot more people crying/fighting...

I don't really care too much for it. It would be just as interesting if they made it a race for a cash sum or a street car challenge.

 

I think their evo was on the wrong show.
Wasn't it RnR that fixed up that evo on tokyo drift.

that car was badass!

 

^ Try RMR.

 

nope that was RMR (Rhys Millen Racing)

I noticed that RNR is no longer a vendor...
