Team Stinky Pinky’s had timing and other issues as they attempted to get the supercharged big block Chevy running. They messed up their
During Episode 3 of the $10K Drag Shootout, we saw one of our four teams get hit with a 50-pound weight penalty that cost them some money, but then score a free nitrous kit for winning a taco-eating contest, followed by some trash-talking-induced team drama.

In John Steinbeck’s first-person, fictionalized travelogue “Travels With Charley,” the author writes about his cross-country adventure in a GMC pickup truck/camper. Charley, of course, is his dog.
