Hey Ralphie - what does that mean? Me no understand.

PS - On a lighter note, the local police in my small community occasionally pull up next to me and, with their passenger window down, look over and ask "Pinks?" My answer is always -"What would I do with a Police car?"

Going for pinks is a race where the winner ends up with the loosers car. The pink slip is title / registration.

Looks like the Gum Ball Rally. Valentine Radar Detector. Video could be real.
Have a bunch of young-ish, immature, wealthy idiot friends who recently did this bone-head road race. They had a great time but what a dangerous price to pay if someone blind-sides you!
Having raced VSCCA since I've been knee high to a grasshopper,my vote is always to properly "track" the damn car if you want some jolly's and maybe some higher education in the process!

You would have to live somewhere with a lot of red GTs to get away with that one... also, if it was a gumball run, how did they know the name of the dealership???

Wild looking radar detector setup with the long bands on the windshield...

Cool Video... Stupid people.

Uuh...guys...has anyone seen "the cop" in this "running from the cop" video????:confused Maybe its me but I didn't see any cop.

Moreover, in many jurisdictions the police and AG offices have very strict guidelines on police pursuit and forbid police from high speed pursuit except in very limited circumstances.

Regardless, to me the guy is a schmuck and an embarrassment to the FGT community for more reasons then I care to state. Worst of all he did it in a Red GT!:willy

Some of us know exactly where that video was shot. There was some footage of another white no strip FGT shot at that event...
my lips are sealed. :)

Isn't it kind of stupid to post the video on the internet and provide a url source in the video?

No it is an act of shear brilliance. Let the world know what a moron you are.
When your boss wants to fire you, here is more evidence that your responsible.
Works well in child custody cases, but really adds the cream to the cake in law suits
where plantiff counsel needs to show a chain of bad behavior. Yeah, I think it is great.

That is why I never violate the laws of man and nature.

Thanks for the explanation of 'Pinks' both here and for the email Ralphie.

Now me understand!

We don't have the TV show or the paperwork - so it was a little lost on me.

Better to pull over, 25 years ago I ran from the PD ( lost them easy)and hit a tree due to the home owners not wanting a speed lap down their street. They pulled out chairs and tables to block the street. I went around and got personal with a large oak tree. My mint 70 Boss 429 was trashed.

Now they keep the car and it's a feloney

Pay the ticket

Tom...
Hope you learned your lesson. Loosing the Boss '9 was a small price to pay.

Every time I see the rent-a-wreck GT (or any of the cars that group owns) it's generally involved in something stupid, to sell videos to teenagers. Ever see the guy kicking the roof off his C6 Z06? :bored

I'm glad it is the red cars that get the tickets. That's why we always cruise with you Frank. Radar bait.
