All steel, original glass, 482 inch alcohol injected big block that weighs 3,200 with the driver. I couldn't have imagined a better finish!

Seen it. One of the better Pinks, wish they would continue this format instead of all the whining that is usually going on. "I need 10 car lenths"....wah wah. Heads -up is alot better, just have to pair up the right cars.

Totally agree with that! But a pretty major undertaking to make it happen. How many cars/trucks did they run to come up with 16 finalists?

Yeah they had to weed through alot of vehicles and whats the chance of someone saying "uumm...yes it's a 10.5 car" and actually capable of 9's. I say bring your time slips and lets line them up but that could be corrupt as well. The best Pinks show IMO to date was the two brothers with the cameros, they ran all out every pass and it was a family WAR.

I thought they said they started out with around 350 cars maybe?

The two brothers episode was pretty good, and those were well built cars.
