Talking Pinks At Red River Raceway

coming in march 2008 pinks will be at RRR. you can reg now to race ...........but when you reg, it don't say nothing about what et. your car runs. the only cars i have seen on pinks all out, are cars running from 9.50 to 10.60 range.......sooooooooo if you have a twelve sec car you ain't gonna be picked to race......right? whats the scoop on this. you don't know what et. there going to pick,but you can be sure it ain't slow cars..........RON

You never know. They picked an 11.0 et before. It just depends on which et has the closest batch of competitors or most interesting cars.

Talking pinks at RR

what your saying is suppose to be true,but it always seems to be the 9-10 sec maybe an 11.00 car sometimes. i have seen many pinks all out and have never seen a twelve sec car run. my friend and racer john demitto,raced at maple grove and came in second. 1964 ford thunderbolt [ blackhorse],from blackhorse auto body in phila. he said they always do that,because the low ET. cars bring excitment to everyone,which is true.................RON

I believe they try for as many cars in as close an ET as they can get but it really matters how many cars show up , so ya'll get the word out now. They want heads-up racing as many cars that they can get in a tight ET group. So put the word out down south , in Dallas & the east Texas area, west Mississippi, south Arkansas , south east Oklahoma. They might not come this way again for a long time. Somebody needs to get with the local stations. So start building that nine~ten~or eleven second car now. Can you do it in three months ?

I think the only thing you have to have is a helmet. But they did say they have to do a full NHRA saftey inspection.
