:blink: People are still thinking it is like PINKS...

Some people from BC came into my work that had driven up for this weekend's races...very excited...

Too bad the Camrose show or people thinking it is PINKS is going to keeping some away. You can enter anything !!

The BC guys said they rode up with some cars from little towns Alberta...almost sounds as if more visitors than locals...

Am heading out now...the night looks great

:)

**Street Legals are also a go for tonight...usual time...usual rules...

blondy
Just checking some emails and got one from one of the guys there...this was around noonish I think

"Well, I am currently sitting in line waiting to get into the gates for Pinks, there looks to be a couple a hundred cars here. "

:rolleyes: He called it PINKS loooool

BigDaddyLeo
your right anything can enter as long as it is 12.5 or faster

No anything can enter...the rules changed early in the week or the weekend...there is no longer a speed requirement and he has added a bunch of events as well

New Rules

quote:
WE ARE NOT RACING FOR TITLE, THIS ISN’T PINKS AND WE WILL BE GIVING AWAY TONS OF MONEY WITH THIS NEW FORMAT. Please ignore all the junk you hear and come on out. It will be awesome. We fixed whatever minor glitches we had in the format and this track has been AWESOME to work with. We added fun events to give away even more money and more sponsors stepped up.

YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS THIS!

Pretty good night of racing, but the anouncer guy must'a been drunk cause he had no clue about the cars. Calling fords chevys and such:beer: made me laugh, cause it actually pissed people off beside us, lol.

Lol @ the announcer. "Do you think he blowed a valve?" "The fellow is just an import".

They did run street legals after, there was only a handful of cars.

But there was enough time for us to pull a brilliant 44 second pass after frying our clutch :rolleyes:

For us the day was a comedy of errors, the duster had a dead battery, lost the drain plug for the rad while draining the antifreeze.. went down the drain (we then found it after taking the cat iron cover off). Once we got the tib ready, we fryed the clutch... It is going to be interesting to see what today holds...
