Default Pinks All Out

Looks like Pinks is changing the format. Heads up all out racing for cash.

In my opinion this is a great new direction for the show. Run what you brung and run as hard as you can. What do you think??????

Maybe the host had time to think about restructuring his lame show as he was sitting around at SEMA. Didn't notice him signing a lot of autographs... so he certainly had time to consider options.

That show is such a joke. 1/2 the time it was not even the fastest car that won. It was more of a show of sand bagging with 23 lengths with only 7 shots of NAAAWWWWSSSSS. One race, winner takes all, and you will see some real racing going on!

Even the best x out of x (2 of 3, 3 of 5?) would be better than the current format.

That is a good direction IMO. I hope they still show the episodes from PR though.

I wish they'd use the tree, too. I think the only downfall of going heads up is that if they don't find cars that are fairly closely matched, it's going to be a blowout every time unless someone breaks.

That might help the show. It's more about who's the better sandbagger now instead of who can drive or has a faster car.
I realize it's supposed to mimic street racing but I'd like it if they turned the lights on so you could see what times and mph they are running instead of "billy bob won by 3 1/2 lengths" Especially on the episode with the brothers driving the f-bods.

If they had been running this style last night, the girl in the Mustang might have won. But by the time she let it all hang out, her car was fucked, so she lost.

I agree that unless they get closely matched cars it is just going to be a matter of the faster car.

And???? Thats the purpose of a race to see whos faster. If someone wants to put their 89 Honda against a Jet car then so be it, sucks to the guy that does not win.

I just love seeing people who have never stepped up to the plate bitch about this show

If you just think it is about the faster car you might as well just give up now!

What blows my mind is that some of them try to take shortcuts and when things break they are like "oh ya, I was going to fix that after it broke, I figured it would."

Some cars... ok I can understand your 8 second Mustang or F-body going through and breaking something. But when it is a 14 sec car at best I would look at things that would break and fix them before hand... Its like the one with the Ranger with the 305 and a 100 shot and a El Camino IIRC... They never even drove the Ranger with the 5-spd and complained they couldn't get 2nd... Anyone else would have figured that out before they even got to the track.

Exactly. Quite often in NHRA bracket racing the fastest car does not always win, rather the better driver!
