Re: [FWDLK] Two-Lane Blacktop- Pink Slips

["Wayne Graefen" <wgraefen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As an aside, the term pink slips comes from California where car
titles for many decades were printed on pink paper.  Within the
last ten years they changed the paper to pink and yellow and
green for some silly governmental reason.

But "racing for pinks"  comes from the old days of hot-rodding
in "the golden state".

I`d like to see this movie. I read it somewhere before it was a
movie. I
don`t remember the cars but maybe there was a Mopar since I read
the
whole story. I think they were racing another car across the
country to
where they had mailed their pink slips to in one envelope and
the winner
got both cars. Along the way they had to pick races with the
locals to
earn gas money.
