The one and only episode I watched of the show they were racing for each others car, but most of the show was spent arguing over who should get the handycap and that the other guy was cheating.

As for Pinks my fav epsiode was the race between that honda civic and that Camaro (?? couldn't remember his car)... The civic almost started at the 1/8mile mark and still got beaten !!
