    Just saw a red Maverick on Pinks All Out...VERY NICE!

    As for the induced drama of the host and others on the show...I think that I'm going to start watching this with the sound off. Personally I'm sick of hearing that people aren't running all out. Kick them off, don't pick them or just cut them out of the show...but I'm sick of hearing it! They are starting to give us racers a bad name. I understand that they are trying to find some drama for the television audience, but honestly with the amount of money that is made off the entry fees and then the tv sponsors that $18,000 that they give away is chicken feed. I've been involved with low budget tv operations on a community level and these guys have to be making money hand over fist! It's just like the regular Pinks show...the prize was one of the guys cars! So they weren't bringing anything to the party but the cameras! Oh and let me bring up the safety issues on this show...do they even inspect the cars??? I know the one we participated in down in Tucson didn't inspect for crap. Eventually someone is going to get seriously hurt. The track if no one else should be policing this.

    Ok, I feel better now...just had to vent and get this off my chest! Besides, my wife is mad at me so I'm gonna take it out on the Pinks staff!

    No! I'm hoping that I just missed him in the car with his helmet on...but I thought that I saw him racing without it. I'm sure that he had a roll bar, lexan windows and NO window net! Another issue. I don't know, with all the out of control cars that they showcased on there tonight...it worries me even more. I hope that someone from the NHRA is watching these. Maybe they can apply some pressure to the tracks to police this stuff. I swear, I'm getting more and more like Statler and Waldorf every day!











    (for those that don't know, Statler and Waldorf were the two old men up in the balcony on the Muppet Show...and now you know...the rest of the story!!!)

    I think we should let nature take it's course. The ones that are using safety gear will die and then we don't have to worry about them adding their genes to muddy up the pool.

    I have to admit, i enjoy pinks all out more so than the original pinks, and i was a fan of both.... But, I too was sick of the sandbagging on the original, so all out was a better choice for me since they're not losing their cars.

    I did see one all out where they pulled a mustang cobra out because he ran too fast, and had no roll cage. (ONLY, after another guy in a corvette said something about it being illegal.)


    I'd like to run in an all out one day if they come closer.... but just to get the mav on tv, cause as slow as the proceedings go, i'd get fed up and leave if i was there just to race.


    Remember when Rich laid down his brothers sportbike on tv?

    Personally i just like the them song. As for episodes i go hands down on a white Camaro when it was on the first season. You have a 38 000 dollar Camaro and i have a 3800 piece of it Well your piece of it runs pretty dang good. Why thank you. Classic and later on in that episode i don't need my car to beat your a.. on this track.
