    Anybody see the Maverick on Pinks!? It had a big block. One car broke so they had to pick one of the local track cars. They almost picked the Maverick, but I think they were too scared of it.:D

    I saw it! To bad they did not pick it to run. The guy in the Camaro was good though.

    I saw it too. I was so excited to see the maverick. That camaro was fast too. I think the Mav would have been real fast with a big block in a light weight car.

    Pinks is a great show! Too bad the Mav didn't get a shot at that van. Would have been a good race. If anyone knows who's it was maybe we could get them to race the camaro?

    I'm guessing Don Graham probably knows the guy. Racers tend to know other racers who race cars like theirs! I think that was filmed at one of the tracks he races at regularly. Can't swear to it though. There were probably cars from other places if they had a chance to get on the show. Might ask him.
