With all the business they do, they should come up with one customer's car. Who's gonna be "that" ballzy customer?

We'd probly do it.We have 4 cars that all can run stupid #'s. The problem is a LS1 Nitrous car isn't going to keep up for the possibility of 6 races in a row.We have the benefit of moving the tune around very quickly.

Plus, the sad part is that I hate that show. It's a bunch of whinny pukes lying there *** off and crying the whole show.

That's why the all-out format is best. You run faster than the #--you're supposed to---you're out. Not nearly the whining w/all-out format. I agree, the regular Pinks sucks. Watching a 16 car field of all different cars/trucks running for $ each run, betting each run, and going for top gun laurels at the end sure beats 2 hand picked participants by the producers that usually whine for at least 1/2 the show...WJ

Warren,your falling into that bracket crap again Nobody bracket races on the street.This Pink show is suppose to be about street racing but they set it up like bracket racing.

here is what they should do.
Set up races with $1000 buy in each race.Go heads up,no lights. Winner takes home the $$. That will knock out the useless cars.

Heads up, no lights (tree) ?? No tree (like the show) is going back to the 50's! It's just tough to find 2 cars that are matched exactly, and owners who are willing to cough up $1k per race, and race heads up, at that.....I guess that racing for the $1k per race is better than someone giving up their big $$$ race car for a 2 out-of-3 race. I know you don't like brackets, Don! The tree start just guarantees no jumping----where that hand start stuff surely does not. WJ

Im pretty sure that Jamie's pristine nova was built almost entirely off sponsorship $$$. Companies throwing down money to get there name on PINKS. The rest of the money spent was well worth the publicity he got, whether it be positive or negative, he got the point out that Miller Race Cars does clean, top of the line work...

But all said and done, when he lost the nova to that 70's or 80's camaro, he won back some of the lost money when he took his f-body on the show and took down the other nova..

Im sure if one of the shops build a car, people will be willing to throw down money for sponsorship.
