> [@JoesTypeS](#): > > I don’t really have a problem with how they did the race until the last one…them accepting 3 cars was just stupid. A “fair” race would have been 5-7 cars w/ the bottle, and even then I think the Fbod would clearly have come out on top…A drivers race would have been 5 cars no bottle. The domestic guys def. had the right idea, set a fast car to run slower and be able to put the speed back into it if need be. I’m sure had his tranny been given time to cool in between runs he could have knocked off 10.5s, 10.0s and 9.7s consistantly depending on what version of the setup he wanted to run that time…and that’s how you win 3 out of 5 races. > > That and the kid clearly couldn’t drive the car… i’d be willing to bet the clutches were completly fried for 2nd and no amount of cooling would have helped. they should ahve went on zee highway and ran from a 55 roll … ---

Am I the only one thinking this… They should make it 1/4 mile MINIMUM. If the guy in the domestic moved back 20 car lengths the Honda would still have to race 1/4 mile. That is fucking stupid to let one car race 1/6 or 1/7 mile. I don’t know, is it just me? ---

I’ve never seen this show till now, but why isn’t it run it 3 times. Who ever wins, wins. You don’t put your car on the line and ask for car lengths??? OR “please don’t spray mister.” I’m now glad I have never watched this show. Maybe I’ll show up in a stock Si bargain with the guy and come home with a Corvette. :gotme: Am I missing something? ---

> [@JnJSpdShop](#): > > obviously they knew what kind of car they were coming to race and risk their car. actually i dont think they have any idea at first who they will run. its not like last season where it was call outs. this season they are taking all the cars and putting them into pools. low 12 sec cars, high 13’s… bla bla bla they get paired up by someone at the studio. so anyone can take a low 10 sec car “detune” it a little and call it a 12 sec car. kinda lame, it lets people be too sneaky. they should have left it like last season ---

honestly, if my car was on the line and they wanted me to detune my car i would tell them to fuck off. Seriously, he built it fast to compete fast. Not to detune and risk losing his transam because the show needed him to run mid 10’s. this episode was kinda bullshit and i think that there was a total missmatch. Atleast put a drag civic vs the drag transam.lol there are plenty of 9sec civics out there that are probably willing but PINKS goes out and finds some 20 year old kid that claims he has 600whp and has NEVER BEEN TO THE TRACK BEFORE. what a fucking joke.
