Because he acts like he knows what is going on when he has no knowledge of anything.. Also because he dumped that bike that one episode.. Hahaha.. And he comes back saying, "I've ridden fast and modded bikes my whole life." Yea rite..

I think hes a tool because he seems to be the only person on that show that doesn't really do a whole lot, honestly if they used the tree in any episode he wouldn't have a purpose.

I will give it to him that he had a great idea for a good tv show... But have you ever watched his show OP? He uses terms the wrong way. He trys to talk to the guys racing like he knows what hes talking about... Basically he hosts a racing show when he knows nothing about it...

You know the guy that comes up to you at a gas station, or party, or where ever, and trys to bs with you about your car, and trys to tell you about the car in his garage? The one that does 4's flat @ 460mph, and pops wheelies from an 80 roll.... and it becomes apparent that he knows nothing about cars.... Well, thats Rich.

This is signature quote material.

I read somewhere that he is not a car guy either.

Doesnt know anything about cars, if you listen to some arguments people make him look like a fool. All he does is throw his hands in the air and then pulls em down really fast like. LOL

Also he cant ride a bike for ****.

He was on the radion here in Dallas not long ago and was a total **** on there. He admitted that he didn't even know what a light tree was when he introduced the idea to SpeedTV. His personna is just toally whack.

He knows nothing about drag racing or the cars. Even his adviser Nate doesn't seem to know much. They need to rename that show pinks index racing. They need to make these people run their cars to its full potential. Most of the car are nitrous cars and then they run on motor for the show.

Yeah... he has no idea what he is talking about. He makes extremely bad calls sometimes because he really doesnt understand what happened, or what will happen given a certain condition.

Only the original pinks was worth watching... "All Out" was just a joke of a bracket race.

The whole thing that made pinks interesting is that the smarter team with the better strategy could win, not necessarily who came with the faster car. That being said, sometimes they did a HORRIBLE job of matching cars up, and two cars that weren't even close would have to race against each other.

He might not know much about cars, but he created a pretty good show to watch.
