This is by far the lamest thing ive seen on tv. Id rather look at the blank screen for 30 mins. The guy wanted 30 car lengths!??! on a 1000ft race. the guy endedu p giving up 198ft on a 1000ft race. The olds delta 88 that he ran looked like a 16 second car. Dude is talkin about needing to heat up the tires and he didnt even have any type of performance tire. Why would the dude in the rod want to even put his car up against the POS that it took a "town effort" to build. I thought the show looked lame, but I decided I wouldnt bash it until I watched it, stupid mistake, I want the 30 mins of my life back.


-edit.. whoops, i didnt realize which forum this was in, I just searched for the first pinks thread so i didn't repost.

I agree, that was the first time I watched it and all I can say is

The host needs to go to a real track if he thinks that was a "real good race"

The guy with the POS oldsmobile was a dork. Why even race that thing? Stupid. He had nothing to loose and everything to gain. I almost want to go to his 'shop' and pick on him for 'racing' that thing. Freakn cry baby - brings a knife to a gun fight.

I think the host is a little too "metro" for my tastes. There's definitely something "pink" about him.

"....i hate bracket racing..."

why?
its like drag racing, poker, and chess combined.
driver knowledge and skill being King.

Pinks has a chance to be a good show, but they gotta ditch the jerkwad host, and get a timing system up there. and fire the video editor as well.....
