PINKS...Here's Our Chance.....

[Everett Vassar]

In about a week I"m going to load up my slow, boring, bracket car (no offense taken Gary)
and head for P.O.A. at Crandall. Will take the old motorhome, spend a bunch of money, jump through hoops for the SPEED/PULLIN staff.Probably get pissed at Rich,and wont stand a chance in hell of making the 16.But it will be different.I will see and meet some racers who couldnt get past the first round of a "real" race if theyre lives depended on it.But they really get fired up for PINKS. I"ve been racing a little while now, have a few wins (Brackets) put 2 kids in race cars.Have a son who is a 2009 D4 champ.So sometimes I find myself getting just a little too Elite'st or comfortable with it all,and P.O.A. is just about the right medicine.Just like a good ol Friday night test and tune.---And if I see my car on T.V. for 1/10th of a second will be all worth it.

Hey Everett I hope your car is quicker than 12.99 LOL!! By slow I meant 15 & 16 second cars. 12s aren't fast, but certainly not "slow" . You will certainly have a good time & be treated like royalty for a change. It's more fun than the law should allow!!!!

Jeff you need to keep up to date on the Firebird web site. They will post a registration time and date. On that date you need to have all of your information and log on to the registration site. Start a few seconds before to start time. You will need, of course, the driver name and address, the car you are entering, your expected et and if you have either a NHRA or IHRA license, not required but they want to know. In most cases the computers around the country will lock up, just hit refresh and continue to do that until you get access to the form to fill out or it posts that all 460 spaces are taken. We have typically had three computers working at the same time to get in.

Good luck. If you make it in, unless you are old enough and remember the old match race days, it will be a racing event you will enjoy and will not forget, until the next one you enter.
