Blown nova racer is the absolute Definition of a REAL Racer, straight to the point No B.s or excuses. I wish this car community had all had the GUTS that this man showed on the show👍🏼
Nobody lost their cars this season and it was all for show. They really started losing their cars in the later seasons. One of the first racers Tony from Chicago has a pod cast and talks about how that part was fake and they made them act.
@@danmyers9372 Nobody lost their cars in the first season. They just pretended to make good TV. The pink slips came into play in later seasons. So that's why he was just having a good time and not asking for lengths.
thos episode by far is the best one I've watched. Both teams with extreme respect for eachother. An old-school driver and the young driver. both showing their love for the sport, no matter the win or loss.
Stand up dude right there. Not asking for anything. Line em up and race. Even knowing he was losing, never backed down, never asked for anything. As it should be. This one had me on the fence. I loved the Vette, but the other driver never backing down had my heart in his corner.
I would honestly hand the keys to that Nova right back to the guy. Didn't complain, didn't ask for anything and definitely didn't want anything handed to him. That's a man that is true to the sport
There’s no way. Those old school nitrous motors costed $20k maybe $26k. There no way they cost more than $30k. There an article on an old pinks forum that had pictures of the corvette and motor. It’s a 632 Pontiac engine w/ 18* heads and twin 250 foggers. The only racing engines that cost $50k are proline smx engines and offshore powerboats engines
I like that part but can do without that bs of starting the race and going to commercial, this way I can zap forward. Also the pre episode hype is unnecessary especially when a gasoline burning nitrous oxide car is hyped as “ top fuel “ - the music at each intro is also annoying. Plus still some bragging and bs here even though they’re probably the most pleasant group in the series. The cars are very fast and exciting enough. When you hype it with disingenuous phrases and try to inject drama - it tends to cheapen the whole process.
What’s the engine sound at 7:12? I know it’s an artificial sound cause I’ve heard that exact same sample from video games and cartoons, but I can’t figure out where it comes from. I want to use that sample for an audio project
Mark has been street racing as long as me and I'm 62 I been racing sense I was 15 I met Mark in west palm beach fla. At super chevy Sunday around 1989 or 1990 he was fast back then.
This was my favorite episodes I wonder where these cars ended up. This was early on and a lot of cars weren’t actually “lost” Update, mark still has the nova lol
Lol Blue car saying the Vette is late on the flag but he left before the flag the first two races. When you get a half car length rolling start by jumping the flag that’s equal to at least 2 standing still car lengths. The Vette by far was the faster car. I do admire Nova man for having the guts to keep going at it heads up. I think he knew after the first race there was no way unless the Vette broke he could win. At least we didn’t have to listen to all the pissing and moaning most street racers do.
21:51"When you give up car lengths, you give up Pride"! And apparently you give up your Car as well... BTW.. he proved that lengths will get you pinks!
This was a great race but one thing I never understood. If you were putting your high dollar car on the line would you show up with a “9 year old worn out motor”? You could pull the motor and freshen it in a matter in a couple days. I’ll never understand that.
@@watchpowertubetv if you look into it. A lot of these guys happen to still have their cars. They would make back door cash deals. 10k or whatever vs the cars. Nova is still with the guy who raced it.
Best episode of the entire series hands down! No crying or arguing.... just racing.
Because they both actually brought fast cars 💯
@@stedsnellings9340 yep exactly I say it all the time. It’s always the slow dudes who talk the most shit out of anybody
100% agree🤘
for real %100 racing top 5 in my book
Only true "PINKS" they ever had.

Couldn't agree more! This is what the show should be. Mad respect to the Nova driver.
Yes he was and I believe during this first season nobody actually lost their car, it was just for show until later seasons where it became real.
Easily the best episode ever on pinks. Two absolute professionals at what they do hats off to you gentlemen
This is what pinks should have been, two real racers going heads up.
This was the best episode. True real racers right here.
Best episode of pinks pure racing NO BS best car wins
This is the only episode of Pinks I've watched more than once.
Right best race an real men no cry babies
I’ve never seen someone work so hard to give a nova away.
Would you show up to a race with your car on the line with a “9 year old worn out motor”? Why didn’t he freshen it before the race?

Blue car may have lost. But boy did he do it well. Sucks he lost his car but he is a MAN if I’ve ever seen one.
Out of all the episodes I have watched on here of pinks so far this one is the best one
Rich’s reaction when he asked how many lengths the lower horsepower car wanted at the beginning and got hit with “none” was priceless😂
That guy is a damn Jedi. Used the force to push that Vette back with one hand. 👍
This was the best one of all them heads up racing is what it's about
thos episode by far is the best one I've watched. Both teams with extreme respect for eachother. An old-school driver and the young driver. both showing their love for the sport, no matter the win or loss.
I watched this episode when it actually took place,best race on pinks in my opinion.
Straight up racing. No arguing. No I have this, you have that. Just 2 men proving who's better.
My favorite episode of the entire run of the show.
Stand up dude right there. Not asking for anything. Line em up and race. Even knowing he was losing, never backed down, never asked for anything. As it should be. This one had me on the fence. I loved the Vette, but the other driver never backing down had my heart in his corner.
Man oh man... this is what I like! Straight run what you brung
I have so much respect for Larry. He’s a honorable guy.
I would honestly hand the keys to that Nova right back to the guy. Didn't complain, didn't ask for anything and definitely didn't want anything handed to him. That's a man that is true to the sport
You breath we moving 😂
@ minutes 10:08 dude grabbed the wire like no power was coming from them car 😂 ⚡️
Corvette guy spent $50k on a motor and $17 to get it wired.
Lol somethin like that

@@puttingwarheadsonforeheads9872 😂😂😂 really??
Now this is how you should race! Head to head, no BS
Now that's a man of man's right thur!
that is what racing is all about
This has got to be my favorite episode. No bitchin and moanin

@@jamessharp9790 agree with you 100%
This episode is what Pinks should've been
High dollar cars to give away!
Love this 2 guys. True racer..
There’s pride and then there’s stupidity. Don’t get them mixed up fellas.
Oh boy that Rod Davis guy was the most cringe dude in all these episodes.

i love the nova driver. the best guy to ever be on pinks hands down.... do you want lengths no why.. cuz im a man... lol i love it.
I remember this one! If i was the feller in the vette! Ain't no way i could of taken the old boy's Nova! He's just to f**king cool! 💯
This was my favorite episodes I wonder where these cars ended up. This was early on and a lot of cars weren’t actually “lost”
Update, mark still has the nova lol
It is all about power to weight ratio and the driver behind the wheel. The Corvette had both.
Real macho man bro for real😎👌

Heads up let's go😊
Nice episode
21:51"When you give up car lengths, you give up Pride"! And apparently you give up your Car as well... BTW.. he proved that lengths will get you pinks!
The show should be run heads up, fastest car wins. Car lengths head start is pussy shit. You're either fast enough to win or not.
Too dumb for his own good. Ego and pride made him lose his car. Great showing though.
PiNks...Keep Your Pride...Lose Your Ride!
That's an awesome dad
That corvette's a monster
I guess that guy with the Nova's kids won't be playing with nobody's car not even his
He won't take lengths but he want the guy to make less power haha what a "man"
Rich is usually excited for head up’s… let’s race…
18:03.... That's What He Said!
This was a great race but one thing I never understood. If you were putting your high dollar car on the line would you show up with a “9 year old worn out motor”? You could pull the motor and freshen it in a matter in a couple days. I’ll never understand that.
17:58... That's What She Said!
Does 10 centimeters work?
@@ThriłłProductionsTV only if you're talking about your clit
How skip and rod on the same team behind mark 🤔🤔
I never understood why he didn’t refreshen that big block up and put a smaller pulley on it.
Racing good McDonald's bad😂😂😂😂
I watched this when I was a kid. Do you think they actually kept the vehicle after the cameras are off?
Yes they did!
@@watchpowertubetv if you look into it. A lot of these guys happen to still have their cars. They would make back door cash deals. 10k or whatever vs the cars. Nova is still with the guy who raced it.
Quick out the gate? I guess anyone can be quick out the gate if you red light
He probably wasnt even using his second stage in the first two races or he was and then when he only used one it got faster because it hooked
Just watched a guy give away his car. Awful team negotiator.
Once you watch the first race you can tell the outcome by the video length
I guess you get what u get when u laugh at the other guys car
He couldn't tell his car w as laying over
'I like ten inches'
That corvette can make a drink and sandwiches and still beat that nova
Guarantee he gave back that car next day, they were close friends, if not, he needs a check up from the neck up while keep on asking for heads up
Just to be clear… he wanted him to overpower the track by reducing his power??
13:07 real racing
Jumped 3xs still getting smoked..still don't want any lengths? Dude got beat 6 times in 3 races. I's it drug's or wtf????
👍
Nova driver says he is fast at the line. Sure, so is everyone when they jump.
I would have keep his car
It’s hilarious when guys complain about having too much power for small tires. You built the damn car, lol get over it
Pride or $90,000 Car? 🤔 I'll take the Car
If one 1600 horse and one 1700 horse how's that a 350 different
Must be metric or something.
Nitrous
Why knowing that ur car is slower would u do that. Giving car length has nothing to do with pride, it's more of ego.
Is that dude driving the Nova Joe Besser's son???? Looks like him......For those who don't know....he was the last (lame) 3 Stooges.....😜
"I'm a man" notice he didn't say (smart) man. He may not be a bracket racer but this is bracket racing, guy's not playing the game.
1:35 Cringe, Every single time. 🤣
Comment section is crazy cringe. What ru all smokin'? 😂
worst wiring job I've seen.
I have a 73 demon i will run all of them
This car was lost on race IQ
No way
this show was so cringe
Best race but the winner should of been a man and not taking the car out of respect for the other bloke goin heads up
He never lost the car he still has it
Fatboy talking about how good he is at cutting trees. Don’t matter if you still lose
Can't stand watching his arm drop deal it looks ridiculous as hell!.....Why!!
Guy keep jumping lol
I would have given his car back. Just to race would be good enough for me
