I said this like a year ago in another post...PINKS is whack...too many commercials..not enough RACING..too much TALKING...it should be like it was back in the day...you roll up and RACE FOR PINKS....if you didnt think your car had the *****, you DIDNT race...PINKS is a bit too much fluff and hollywood for me, I still love to see the cars though...mm I love them cars
PEACE

i think the major thing to me is the BULLSHIT....how people will be like "i have a 12 second car, thats what we brought" and they know damn well that bitch runs 10s....there needs to be something to address the bs sandbagging issue....push the car or get off the track

from what I remember of the first season, it was better. a little more boring, no flash or drama, but the pure racing seemed better. they usually filmed at night, on a closed track, no big crowds, race teams with entourages, all that bullshit. and the cars weren't pulled out of the weeds and slapped together a week before, they were actual street cars that people owned and drove daily. I seem to remember someone losing his 4th gen f-body, maybe a TA. obvious street car, and to see how upset he was, it looked like it was his daily driver.
I'm really sick of the 30 person posse and professional race shops/teams that are the norm now. It's not as big a deal if you yank a junkyard car for $200, slap cheap a suspension and slicks on it, and put in a used race motor/trans with acres of NOS, run and lose that, then it is to buy a new/used street car for $10k-30k, drive it daily, buy/install parts, then put that on the line.

I watched the one when they where in TX and there was a lot of fast rides but I saw a ton more cars that would have made a lot better show. No one on that show knows Jack about cars except where to put the key. Like I once said there should be a show where people send in RACING style videos and do filmings at tracks of real cars/ real people all out for PRIDE and non of this crying BS stick a tampon in it and stop for cryin out loud. Besides knowing damn well u get ur car back when its all said and done anyways. I would give someone back there car for a small fee.. Called a tank of Gas.

The wife and I watched one yesterday of a Mustang with a Chevy 355 vs some little ricer car. The mustang was sandbagging like no tomarrow and no one on the show could pick it up. You could see that the mustang was on and off the throttle just enough to win..... thats GAY. RUN it full out.
