Pinks - We Win!

[PaulFiveOh]

The boards have been acting a little patchy tonight so to save time I thought I would make a new thread.

It's official, I heard from Kelly S. that we infact won!


Awesome job guys.

[DeckerEnt]

Congrats. I found out a few hours ago but kept my fingers to myself. Craig is supposed to post up all the details soon.
Keith

[PaulFiveOh]

Sorry! I couldn't wait!

[blk93notch]

congrats! great job guys

[Stangman]

That is absolutely AWESOME!!

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

That's just too awesome guys...i'm really proud of everyone who made this happen. I had that worry in the back of my head but to be absolutely honest, i KNEW this would be a win from the first time the race was spoke of. There's just too many talented gear heads around here not to!

[PaulFiveOh]

I completely agree!!!!

It was a guaranteed win from the get go.

[Steves LX]

congratulations to all. I'm sure Vinny is proud of all of you and is smileing down. Once again it just goes to show that:sbowns:

[nordi]

Here's a pic of Mad Matt launching. It had the same result every time too. He left the Camaro sleeping at the tree every time:lol: Great driving Matt and a big thanks to all involved:bigthumb

[Paul408Notch]

So I hear the brakes left a bit to be desired. :lol: Good job on the driving The Johnson.

And I can't say how happy I am for all involved, especially those that were there ALL the time, even when things were extremely strained. You guys have had my sympathies from day 1, because I kind of figured it wasn't going to be an easy task. I wish I could have helped, but you guys still came through with flying colors.

Congrats everyone!!

[aperacer]

this is great..... i am balling like a little girl right now... vinny is looking over it all now... he has to be proud...sorry..... till later

[Mr.Moontang]

Glassman called me as I was leaving the Reds game, great news congrats guys!!!!!

[aperacer]

mrs ape here...he did this!! we're taking care of her. we made him proud!!!!! all because of one man. way to go guys!!! proud stangbanger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[89notch]

Thats right :sbowns: We ran best out of 7 and won on the 7th race. A big thanks to everyone that helped with the project. Its and Iron headed 496 with a dominator carb big shot plate kit on a progressive controller 400 shot with a turbo 400 9 inch ETC.... It will be on its way to Cincy tomorrow.
They also said its the best episode the have ever had and we might get invited back to build another car.

[gottaluvastang2]

The ballz were swingin and the trolls were screamin. We showed everyone out here that in deed (with the exception of Mike Bell) that we OWN any town we visit.

[facemelter71]

Oh my thats nice,well you brought a sniper rifle to a pellet gun fight.Nice job fellas.

[Katmandu]

Too cool guys!! :bigthumb

Congrats !!!!! :cool2:

[chris91]

Oh hell yeah that just made my weekend!!! Im soooo happy to hear you guys kicked ass!! Congrats to everyone involved!! You guys built a kick ass car and stuck it to em!!

[ibstrokin]

Oh my thats nice,well you brought a sniper rifle to a pellet gun fight.Nice job fellas.

That was not the case @ all, that camaro was fast too, we fought for everything we got. This win was definetely a earned win. I can't describe how proud we are to have done this for sbz. More pics to come, Brian

[PaulFiveOh]

How was the negotiating part of it?

Did they see the turbo and ask for 15 cars haha?

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

How was the negotiating part of it?

Did they see the turbo and ask for 15 cars haha?

Yeah how much smack talk was there?

[ibstrokin]

Not too much smack talk, but they continued to lay down a little, then step up. But it helps to have 142 mph traps. We actually won 5 races, but they took one from us because we went faster than 10.50 without negotiating it.Honestly the guys we raced are prob a pretty good group of guys,they sandbagged a little,but who doesn't.

[Mista Bone]

nothing to say, just smiling.

I bet there is some DRUNK crackers about now.

Get home safely.

[RACEME]

Good job everyone! Matt, I knew you were going to be a winning driver!

[firestang70]

Excellent news guys. Congrats on the well deserved win.

[Evil_Capri]

Fantastic! :bigthumb Congratulations!

[Gearhead]

Great job !!! Congrats to everybody !! :bigthumb Have a safe trip home !!

[RACEME]

Do we know the website for the other car? I would like to see what is being said.

[RIXXX93GT]

Congrats to all involved and a huge one to those that donated and wrenched on that car. Vinny must be smiling ear to ear. Stangbangerz was always a very proud group but should be even more so after last night. I have kept people I know abreast of all thats been going on since Vinny passed and it has a few looking to get back in the Mustang scene. Once again from up north a huge thanks to Mike Bell and the Stangbangerz and all those involved...you ROCK.

[quik lx]

Very proud of you guys!!!!

Its a shame it takes something so terrible to happen to cause so much good. He is proud.:bigthumb

Matt Johnson is my hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cool1:

[cstreu1026]

This is a great way to wake up. Congrats to all those involved.

[JonS]

Congratulations guys. :bigthumb

[Mongoose]

Fantastic job by everyone involved :bigthumb

[Blacksunshine]

[kennebellcobra]

Congrats to everyone! Great job:bigthumb

[Rich]

Awesome work guys and gals! You made us all proud! Pat yourselves on the back...GREAT JOB!

[Rich]

Thats right :sbowns: Its and Iron headed 496 with a dominator carb big shot plate kit on a progressive controller 400 shot with a turbo 400 9 inch ETC....

How fast is this car? Did you guys ever run an all out race?

[WhiteT]

Congrats! I can't wait to see this episode:)

[untamed]

I am so happy. I kept checking the board last night but it was down. The first thing I did when I got up was run out here to check it again, and thank God and Vinny we did it. Congrats Bangerz and thanks for all your hard work on making this dream come true. We need to have a get together so we can all check out both cars. You guys Rock.

[mach_u]

Awesome!!! :bigthumb Kickass guys!! :bounce:

[Mr.Moontang]

I think it would be cool as hell to have both cars at the Columbus NMRA at the end of the month, along with Vinny's twisted twins at our car show booth!!!

[beefcake]

awesome, best thread to start the day with

[ihave1sweetride]

So freckin' awsome!! Congrats everyone!! Thanks Vinny for keeping everyone safe!!

[untamed]

Did we keep their car or give it back?

[venomous_svt]

:sbowns:

Awesome thread to start a good day!!!:D Way to go guys I cant wait to see it!:bigthumb

[SMOKE]

Awesome job guys!

[Sharad]

Did we keep their car or give it back?

Seems like the idea was to keep both cars, auction them off, and give the proceeds to Holly and Amanda?

[untamed]

That is great. Cant wait to see both cars.

[untamed]

As I'm reading this " TEARS IN HEAVEN " came on. You know they are happy tears. He has to be SO proud!!!! Thanks Vinny. What a great family you've created.

[Black Hole]

Congrats to Matt and all those involved!!!!
:sbowns:

Sorry about the downtime yesterday.....it wasn't my fault and I'm gonna be working on arranging alternate hosting for our site to prevent this from happening in the future. :bigthumb

[04comporangegt]

Congrats to all.:bigthumb What a great classic Ford vs. Chevy.

[R825OH]

Wooo hooo we own this town beyottch!!!!! congrats to everyone involved Thanks Guys!!!!

[wild87stang]

:sbowns:

As i was reading this i kept getting cold chills down my spine! I new we would win just by everyone that was envoled , Great job everyone and congrats! cant wait to see the episode! You know he was looking down very proud!:angel:

[Xuzhu]

Great to hear, congrats everyone!

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

So what is the coupe's true potential then? I heard a rumor that it's first pass off the trailer in testing was in the 9.80s but of course everyone was speculating and nobody wanted to really say anything at all.

[bcoh5gt]

:fna: Great job guys!!!!!!!!!!!!:bigthumb

[mustang8998]

Simply put.........AWESOME!!!!

[2-8-1]

Congratulations guys, a win well deserved!

[Holly]

From the Kyle and Lisa Keezer palace... I am so friggin pumped this morning. What an exciting day, the most exciting day of my life next to my wedding day, that's for damn sure. Our pit crew did an excellent job, but Matt was the man, he kicked ass driving that car. I have never been so proud to be a part of SBZ in my whole life. I'll be the blubbering idiot on TV when it airs. :lol:

I still can't believe it! I woke up with a huge smile on my face. The electricity there after we won last night was the best feeling in the world. We are just PROUD, no other way to put it.

We ALL know it, we ALL felt it, Vinny was there with us, there is no doubt in anyone's mind about that. His name was all over that track, we kept asking for his help. You ask and you shall receive, it's always been that way with Vinny. ;)

[mustangoutlaw]

:sbowns:


Congrats to all!

[Timido]

We had a blast Everyone is so happy right now. With more than the 11 pound springs and a little playing with the car I bet it would run 8's! Here is the details all

our car
393 Powered by Dayton Performance
Trick Flow R CnCyed Heads
Trick Flow
.700 Lift Cammotion Cam and Solid lifters
8" PTC Converter
82mm Turbo
11lbs of Boost
This Car Pulls Like a Frieght Train

Matt Johnson is MY Hero. You have no Idea what he went through last night and I am so proud of him. Wait till you see him Tree the crap out of this guy EVERY TIME. 2 of the races were heads up from the stripe. Matt went around him both times no problem... all while wearing a fire suit brain bucket neck brace in 100 degree weather.

[Ryan218]

wow thats awesome ...so what are the plans with the coupe? you guys should keep it and try and get back onto pinks again with it...

[wht_stang]

great job guys im definately proud to be a stangbanger but this takes the cake

[wht_stang]

wow thats awesome ...so what are the plans with the coupe? you guys should keep it and try and get back onto pinks again with it...

if im not mistaken both cars will be auctioned on ebay and proceeds will go to holly.

[Ryan218]

if im not mistaken both cars will be auctioned on ebay and proceeds will go to holly.

if thats the case someone will be getting a nice coupe!

[Black03SVT]

Great job guys!!!!:bigthumb Cant wait to see it on TV.

[ruby71oh]

Holly kept me posted about every half hour and I wish I could've gotten on the site to keep everyone else in the loop. I was so overjoyed and full of emotion knowing my dad and brother were watching over everyone in KC. When Holly called me at the end and I got off the phone with her, I took a moment to myself to just let some tears run. I know Vince was up there saying, "watch this dad" because he knew what a great job you all had done on the car. And as I said before, having the PINKS show done on my dad's birthday with my brother's passion was a double whammy for me, but also sweet justice in the end.

[PonymanfiveO]

Well, we did it.


That Camaro is a monster and I have to admit I was nervous once seeing under the hood. Those guys brought a good program and a hell of a race team. They put up a damn good fight and I have nothing bad to say about them. Hats off to them!

I have to tell you that I drove the s*!t out of that car! After a few passes we lost the back brakes. Then the last two passes, the pass. side caliper stuck on. I had to steer against the brakes all the way down the track. Anyone ever stop a 2,900lb. 140mph turbo car with one brake?:eek:

Wow, what a ride. Vinny was deff. my gardian angel last night. :angel:


Thanks again to EVERYONE!!!! :bigthumb

SBZ OWNS PINKS!!!!

[Silver Bullet]

Congradulations to ALL involved, WHAT A TEAM EFFORT!:bigthumb

[Moremph]

holy crap that was a wild ass time!! glad i could be apart of it, i know for one thing alot of people wrenched thier ass off in the hotel parking lot and our new friends in Kansas City shop up untill the last mins bringing that thing down to the final product.

And i am a firm beliver that TEAM WORK was the key, Not only did Matt tree em on the track, STANGBANGERZ tree'd em in the pits, we had the charger on and the hood off and the fan going before matt could even get the car shut down!! But i will say we were up against a class act set of guys.

The Stang is safe and sound home in cincy now, and congrats to all

Travis

[plated]

i'm home!!!!!!1 that has to be one of the best races i ever attended,not 1 time did i regret going,wanna talk about one hell of a team together.i promise you all this, we made vinny pround with out a doubt,built a bad ass car showed up and won!!!! i cannot wait till it airs in febuary. we are BAD!!!!!!!:flipoff::cool1::cool2::sbowns: MAD MAN MATT JOHNSON DRIVE HIS ASS OFF!! i was very impressed with how matt handled his self and the car,you looked like a damn pro out there dude,thanks for bringing home the prize

We got so much work done because of you and Craig. There were so many things we fixed/changed to make the car work the way it did in just three days. The group of us in that trailer sweatin our nads off working by a single droplight in the hotel parking lot on Thursday night. Then all of us pushing the car off the rack and onto the dyno with minutes to spare on Friday afternoon, it was a rush and the best feeling of teamwork and commitment I have experienced in a long time. You two guys are welcome on any project I ever have anything to do with. And you have my diesel work when I need it!

[bestracing]

Congrats guys!! I don't care what brand the cars were I'm just glad to see the Local Guys get the win!!!

[ADaughen]

What a thread to see logging into SBZ today.

Good job on the win guys. Can't wait to see it on Speed. :)

Great job guys. You ROCK!!!

[chad393na]

I am so happy to have been a part of this project! Thanks to all that busted they're asses to get the car done, and win the race! I got a voicemail from Mike late last night, after they won, and I can tell you i've never heard him sound so hysterical. Damn I wish I could have been there! Thanks Matt for driving that thing like a pro!!:bigthumb:bigthumb:bigthumb

[ProjectPony92]

So glad to hear that you all had fun and came home safe. I wish I could have been a part of your endevor. Thanks for representing the Stangbangerz community in such grand fashion.

You two guys are welcome on any project I ever have anything to do with. And you have my diesel work when I need it!

This was an awesome experience and I thank you guys for letting us be a part of it. I was excited to haul the car out there... and even more excited to bring it back home! There were a number of things that needed addressed last minute. There is a pretty lengthy list somewhere... Kelly, Mike, Matt, Travis and myself were up late Thursday night to get started on it in the hotel parking lot. We were up early on Friday and Kyle hooked us up with his local shop so we could finish our list. HUGE THANKS TO SUPER TUNE PERFORMANCE!!!! They let us use the lift, tools, their expertise and get a few pulls on the dyno. After everyone else arrived in town all their hands were in on this too. Everyone was at Super Tune helping out. We had to be back at the track by 4pm... the car was on the dyno at 2:30!!! We made three pulls, loaded the car at 3:10 and pulled in the gate at 4:00.

This was by far the most incredible show of Team work that I have ever seen. Everyone pulled together under difficult circumstances and a crunching time deadline. Even the crew on the track was on their game as mentioned above!

Matt Johnson drove the fucking wheels off this car! He was under some pretty serious conditions and handled it like a professional! He negotiated and drove his races! He knew exactly what had to be done on each pass. He suffered through some grueling heat, in and out of the car, running to the "circle" to negotiate, back in the car and no brakes for seven passes!

My thoughts are all over the place right now as you can see, so I will try to collect them later. Now I'm going to see if Rachael got any pics I can post.


Craig

[craigels]

Here's a few...

[craigels]

more...

[winner70ta]

You guys kick hiney booty! :cheers:

[BlazinEagle]

WELL DONE!!!! Thanks for everyones hard work and donations. Shows how much love for a "brother" and passion for something can make things happen.

[ibstrokin]

I know it's been said, but you wouldn't believe the teamwork. Everyone had very little sleep, extremely hot temps, and still worked their tails off. When we were in the dyno shop, my hand was waterlogged from wiping sweat. It was 99* and humid. It took about 2.5 hrs to tape the show, and it was balls to the wall,nonstop, no holds barred action.

I am very proud of this accomplishment, for Holly, Vinny, SBZ. I am also proud to be apart of a class act group of guys and gals. I have made alot of new freinds on this project,which was Vinny's goal, to bring people together, and he is still successful in that.

[Demonracer]

There was never a doubt in my mind who would win.:bigthumb

[aangel]

Real men OWN PINKS!

Wouldn't that be a hoot, the entire PINKS gang wearing PINK shirts? I can see pink victory SBz t-shirts, tanks, etc. in SBz future! Two-sided graphics, one of the SBz car, one of the 'lil vinny5oh dude!!!! WOO HOO! Shit, even some men/women PJs/boxers! I'd bet that be one killer fundraiser!!!!! :bigthumb I'D BUY THEM THAT"S FOR SURE! :cool2:

It's been mentioned previously and I agree, PLEAZE have a Victory Party where we can all see both cards, celebrate, and party!!! And do it up again in February when the show airs!!!! :bigthumb

I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET THE PINKS GANG IN PERSON AND SHAKE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR HANDS!!!! :D :bigthumb

:sbowns:

[DeckerEnt]

Same here. Congrats to all who gave and wrenched and just watched. We all were sitting on pins and needles waiting for the outcome of this. Thank Vinny above for our good fortune. I know he was watching and probably laughing his ass off.
I would love to see both cars together before they go up for sale on E-Bay. It looks to be a long summer so we should have tons of time to get it all together.
Keith

[Holly]

I just got home, got unpacked, and thought I'd jump on here before I take a nice LONG nap. I have had about 10 hours sleep since Wednesday night, but I'm not complaining! :D Skybus is awesome! The ride out to KC was a bit bumpy (turbulance) but our ride home this evening was the smoothest plane ride I have EVER had. We left KC at 10:15 (was scheduled to leave at 10:30) and arrived in Columbus around 12:45 (scheduled to arrive at 1:15). Jenn slept and I read, we stopped and fueled up with some vanilla cappaccinos and were on our way, made it home in about an hour and a half!

I'm still pumped, Jenn and I talked about it all the way home. We're just glad we were there and a part of the whole thing, and of course, she's (along with me) is SO proud of Matt!

I can't remember the last time I was up at this hour . :lol:

Me needs some night night now, phones are turned off, I'm getting some uninterrupted sleep peeps. Thanks AGAIN to the Pinks Crew (I was one of them but I wasn't much help). G'night all.

ps It feels good to be HAPPY again for a change. ;) I haven't felt this feeling in over six months now.

[VuNiT3]

Holy S***! This was the most AMAZING weekend of my life!! I am so proud to be a Stangbanger. Everyone in the pit crew did an awesome job, and not to be biased but...MATT JOHNSON DROVE THE NUTS OFF THAT CAR! I haven't been able to quit smiling since they announced the winner.:D I'm not sure of how legal of a move it was, but as soon as they announced the winner, I jumped that fence and went screaming across the track LOL. Once again, great job everybody and remember :sbowns:

[Kelly Pelrine]

Congrats to everyone involved and to Matt for a kick ass driving job! What a great accomplishment for SBZ! :bigthumb

[fastfreddie]

Way to go gang! Stangbangerz is truly a class act. I'm sure you all made Vinny very proud. I'll be watching for the episode to air in Feb. You guys ROCK!!!

Keep in mind, this wasn't an easy race. The Camaro and crew gave you a tough race. This was won negotiating, not because of each of the driver and teams abilities. Had the Camaro team not agreed to "run what ya brung", you would be without a car today. I'm not a fan of that Pinks rule of running faster than 10.50, but it was what you both agreed to. Props to the mustang crew for busting your butts to fix the brake issue. Great job for the Camaro crew in tuning their car as they raced. No one on either team slacked off - you both worked hard. I'm not sure how much time you had to get this car ready, but the Camaro's first full pass was made at KCIR.

You both made history on Pinks. Congratulations to the winner!

The Camaro guys are a true class act! Very good people, and you are right it was a hard battle that was won by negotiations for sure. The Camaro should be very proud of the show they put on. As far as having our car ready, It was finished in the staging lanes.:)

[aangel]

Nice of you to create an account to send us your feedback...

Your screen name sends a loud and clear message, does it not?

Never-the-less, WHOEVER YOU ARE!

[Ibangedyrstang]

I forgot to say..

I have a CD of 100 pictures an a little video, and have a firend with around 400 picutres.

If someone wants them, let me know. It's mostly of what was going on in the other pit, but it was part of the day.

Glad you guys found the place! You were a class act and your car went for a good cause. I have nothing but respect for you guys, you really brought a fast car, and you're right, it was close enough racing and your car had the potential for 8 second runs and it was a miracle we pulled this off. thanks for being such good sports! We would have been the same way had the roles been reversed. Please don't take our celebrating wrong, we were just overcome with emotion and were so happy seeing our goal accomplished. None of us got anything out of this besides a good time, except for Holly when these sell.
Like we talked, let's build some more cars and do it again!

[plated]

and who would have ever thought........... we did the damn thang

[aangel]

Thats not cool! He can say what ever he wants. He was giving props not bashing.:)

I didn't think I was either? All in good spirt, hulk....?

Hey guys, I totally misconstrued the message/tone in the Ibanged post. I never meant any disrespect by my response, seriously. I certainly do not want to do anything to dampen your victory or put the other guys down.

This is just to frig'n joyous occassion for any mixed messages! I cannot even fathom the emotions the camaro crew must be dealing with, as well as the SBz crew, and if I stepped on any toes, I'm really truly sorry! ;)

EVERYONE INVOLVED IN PINKS IS AWESOME and I wasn't even there to see it!

[aangel]

Holly! You look like Julie standing there in that pic! That's weird that you two have the same stance like that!

I'm SO happy for you, my Long Tall Holly! :bigthumb

[GotTorque?]

That's awesome, guys!!! Congrats to all involved! :)

[Timido]

Yes the Camero guys had our repect before during and after the race. We got a chance to talk to some of them and they are a class act. It takes so much work and you risk so much just to bring a car to this race. Everyone that was there knows what went down. You will all see the show and understand that this was not a one sided race at all.

[orangedemon331]

Well, we did it.


That Camaro is a monster and I have to admit I was nervous once seeing under the hood. Those guys brought a good program and a hell of a race team. They put up a damn good fight and I have nothing bad to say about them. Hats off to them!

I have to tell you that I drove the s*!t out of that car! After a few passes we lost the back brakes. Then the last two passes, the pass. side caliper stuck on. I had to steer against the brakes all the way down the track. Anyone ever stop a 2,900lb. 140mph turbo car with one brake?:eek:

Wow, what a ride. Vinny was deff. my gardian angel last night. :angel:


Thanks again to EVERYONE!!!! :bigthumb

SBZ OWNS PINKS!!!!

Matt J.

Good job bro, I just seen this, my congrats goes out to every one that helped on this! You are the shit!!! and Matt, you did a helluva good job, you are the man!!!!!

[Gregg@TFS]

Great job guys!!!!!!!!

You made all of us here at Trick Flow proud to be associated with such an awesome group of people!!

On a personal note I would like to thank all of you for doing what you did for Holly. Our family appreciates all that you have done!!

[01cobra]

Great job by all involved I cant wait to see it on speed...

[morepowr]

Congrats and my hat is off to the Stabangerz crue. This makes my day reading this, ... Plain and simply awesome! I wish I could have been there to pitch in. Vinny was smiling down on this for sure. Everyone should be proud.

[Badfbdy]

Congratz to everyone!!!

This is one time I would diffently be pulling for the Mustang ;-)


P.S. Not all Camaro owners are mullets

Don't lie. :bigthumb

Congrats guys!

[PonymanfiveO]

hey, who lost the Mag-Lite???

Someone ended up handing me a maglite out there because they didnt know who it belonged to. If your missing one, tell me what color it was and I'll get it back to you.
I'll also autograph it if you want. :lol:

[Timido]

Speaking of autographs....... Check with Brian on the Maglite.

[PonymanfiveO]

Tim, do you have the pic of that chicks back???

that was hilarious!

Stangbangerz Owns this woman! LMAO!!! :lol:

[Blowpastyou]

Congrats to all involved. Real kick ass thing you guys have done!!!!!!

[NXcoupe]

I do, I have them, I will post them asap. I can also send you a copy.

[Pops Fun]

Congrats to everyone that helped put this together!! Good Job!!

[Qtr milerocket]

I'm a little late posting on this thread as I haven't been able to access SBZ since Thursday the 9th because of a host problem that has since been resolved.

I just wanted to say what an awesome job that the people who had a hand in the buildup of the "Pinks Car" did, and that any amount of involvement that a person had in this project was needed and showed greatly on Saturday August 11, 2007 as the efforts of Stangbangerz came together and pulled through to the finish line and to victory.

I personally couldn't go due to unforseen family circumstances but just listening to all of the people who were there and looking at all of the pictures I have a small inkling of what it may of been like. It is truly an honor to be a member of this great group of Stangbangerz and to be able to say that I had a very small hand in this project and to realize that why this car was built, the meaning behind this car and what this car represents is awesome, as soon as I heard that we had won I said "Vinny would be proud".

Peace :cool2:

James

[Timido]

James your help with this build was very important. You were a godsend when I needed help putting the transmission in. Thanks again. This is as much your victory as it is everyone who helped .

[Qtr milerocket]

Tim I'm glad I was there when you needed help man, this victory is one for the ages and it's all the more sweeter because of everyone coming together for a common cause!

Peace :cool2:

[Camaro86SHOCKER]

Sweet, glad to hear it.

[Holly]

Does anybody know about when the show should air????


Nate (guy from the show) was saying the first season episode usually airs the week after the Daytona 500. It will be in mid-February, early March (at the latest). We're the first episode of Season Five!

[RACEME]

It is supposed to be the season opener about mid February.

Hey Bob! Thanks for joining the site! It was great meeting you guys. Vinny loved to meet people who enjoyed racing, he didn't care what they drove (him being the mustang enthusiast he was!). He was all about meeting and greeting, and making new friends. I'm sure he would have loved you guys!

Keep in touch! Hope to see the rest of your gang on the board in the future! :bigthumb

Hey Bob!

Glad to see you joined up here! We hope you stop by often ad keep in touch with us. And keep in mind any time your in the Cincy area, all you gotta do is ask and we'll have anything you want waiting for you.;)

Hope to see you again soon!

[Greg Seibert]

Thank You Bob, and some day your fine team will have to share what their first impression of the Mustang was. I know several of us were intimidated by your Big Block car, and especially the well worn Nomex suit you donned at the line in. It appeared that you had raced so much in the past and would definately be a handful to contend with. You and your team didn't let us down, and it still seems like a dream.
Stangbangerz couldn't have raced a finer driver and crew than your group produced.

Best Wishes!

It was great meeting you and your team. We put on a hell of a show for them, look forward to seeing it on the air. You guys are a class act and I talked to Ernie the other day, he called my shop. You guys are always welcome in SW Ohio. Just keep in touch and good luck with all you do!

Going to transman this week and then it's being sold

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

Did the coupe ever sell?


I've seen the episode probably 3 times on TV and it never gets old. You guys really threw down and made us proud :D

[Holly]

Can anyone believe this has been a year?

I was thinking about that when I was at Vinny's moms house yesterday. This past year flew by.

[DeckerEnt]

Time flys Holly when you are distracted with fun times with friends. We are all still here for you.
Keith.

[347sc]

Are you serious? It has been gone for awhile now.:lol:

[MADMOD]

I have had the show saved on my DVR for months now. It's fun just to turn it on, on a lazy Sunday. I know who wins but it always make me alittle nervous about half way through sometimes

[dedpedal]

All and all it has been a good year. Trials and tribulations aside, good friends and good times.

[NXcoupe]

I still watch that episode every chance I get. I still get caught up in it like am still there, it's pretty cool. It took some good friends and team work to make it happen. Something that will last for a long time.

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

Are you serious? It has been gone for awhile now.:lol:


Well let that stand as an example of how i stay out of things that aren't my business ;)

[Mista Bone]

I've always complained about how much Speed repeats certain shows, this is one time I'm not complaining.

[PonymanfiveO]

one of the best times of my life. Thanks guys. Thanks Vinny. :angel:

[beefcake]

a job well done!
