Thanks man. Not that I think I have a chance, but the way I look at it is you cant win if you dont try. Sure will be lots of fun anyways.

PINKS ALL OUT is racing for money NOT for your car...I beleive the winner at the PINKS ALL OUT in Texas was $10,000 pus the side bets with money won in eariler rounds..sounds like big time fun to me..run what ya brung and hope you brung enough..you have to run them out the other end ... no sand bagging allowed.. :drive:
They pick a group of cars from a certain ET range on that show. It may be 9.0-9.50 or 11.5-12.0. Depends on the number of cars that run in that range and if they 'like' certain cars for TV. Has nothing t do with who is fastest, if 80% of the cars there run 11.0-11.50 thats who they will pick from for the finals..

If you a young atractive girl it shouldn't be hard to find a guy to go to a drag race with you. If so there must be some fags up there around you and you need to move ASAP :jest:

Just go yourself, there will be plenty of people to hang with once you are there. When I was young and single I had the opposite probelm, I couldnt find a girl that wanted anything to do with drag racing - they werent dumb and knew if you had a race car you were broke :)

I talked to the track people on the phone about tickets since mine will be free(army reservist) and my son is a little kid so hes free. They told me it wont be sold out for spectators and to just get your ticket at the gate. keep in mind it is easter weekend so turnout will be lower than it would be if it wasnt a holiday weekend.

Too damn cold out there today. My favorite parts was rich christianson almost geting :owned: by the mustang thats wheel flew off on the launch and the car almost slip into rich.
Some badass cars out there today though.
Damn right it was cold.. The gold LT body Z28 with the flames posts on here was one of the 16, wonder how far he went - I didint stick around.

04-08-2007, 02:51 AM
what times did they pick???
Greenfire
04-08-2007, 09:03 AM
Well that would suck for Rich if he got hit by a drag car, but can't say it couldn't happen b/c of where he is standing before the launch.
But thats how the man makes his money. LOL. Guess its worth the risk of getting hit by a car.
Glad you all had fun! What time class did they pick?

He didnt go to far.
10.50 was the class they picked, after watching most of the cars Friday I knew thats what they were going to pick - there was a ton of cars running that. They almost picked 9.60s.
It was a lot of fun, they ran the thing pretty well, I would do it again. It was pretty crowded for the weather and easter weekend. I ran pretty well (9.20s) and there was a ton of fast LS1 cars there. As long as you go in knowing its a TV show and not a fastest XX car event you will have some fun. There were some very cool sleepers, lots of nice race cars and a mix of good running street cars. It was pretty much a race-car car show that you had a chance of getting on TV and winning 10K, hard to beat for a 30.00 entry - even got a free Pinks t-shirt :)

got my tshirt
met a couple of the people on the board.
embarrased myself by running a 16.1 by not turning my bottle on for the first time in 3 years. chocked the thing out with gasoline.
redeemed myself by running the best it's ever felt when rich did his arm drop race.
i didnt think it was as organized as it could have been. maybe dedicated lanes for tech numbers instead of calling them over the PA, i coudlnt understand what they were saying over the thing unless you were right by the speaker.
overall, i had a great time..if it's ever close enough again, i would def. go.

If you have ever been to any big drag racing events it seemed well organized, its hard to organize 350+ cars. Especially in a huge facility like that, I had no problem with it and it went smoother then I expected.
People needed to figure out there were 8 staging lanes and not just two, they should have had someone working the lanes but thats the tracks deal, not the pink's staff. They had a radio station that broadcased the track PA but I could hear the PA where I was. I think they did a decent job considering the weather, there was a few major oildowns and they did a good job of cleaning them up and the track worked pretty well for as cold as it was..

very true, i think that's what held up most of the deal
i just jumped in the line somewhere and figured out where i needed to be when i got to where the lines were actually numbered
They had a radio station that broadcased the track PA
yeah, but when you got away from the tower enough, it went away. esp down near where the tech guys were at. the radio station did make it a lot better, but i just happened to find it by chance when i was searching for music in the staging lanes lol but i had a great time and i would love to go to another pinks event

Yea I had a good time. I had some problems with the car. It really did suck bc I could only get the car to run a best of 10.76...I was so close to the 10.5 range. Oh well, it was fun anyways but cold!

I think the orange Z28 went out first round. I also knew it was probably going to be a 10.50 show after watching. All our trucks ran well. I actually done better that I thought, went 9.90-10.00 all weekend. That was the first time we ever ran the quarter. saw some sweet 4th gens too, (black widow, orange z28 and there was a black z28 that was fast as hell) but all in all we had a blast and cant want till thay come to gainesville :drive:

Yea, he posted in the drag racing results forum. I should have slowed mine down more to the 9.50-9.60 range, they said they almost picked the 9.60 class. I did see your truck make a 9.90 pass on saturday morning though and it looked great. I really didnt run as well as I thought I would in the cold weather but the car was dead cold both times and that didnt help along with the wind. The 'arm drop' pass would hae been my best I think but who knows :)
