He gave an interview for a magazine, where he honestly says that he is not a car person. He had the idea for the show while going to a drag strip with some friends i believe. That is why he has technical experts - people that know cars and racing - help him. He makes a good show that gives exposure to racing and cars. I'm glad he has made it work.

Best episode of pinks was the s/c ta vs the honda, it was EPIC....well epic failure. Shows how stupid that show can get, but its just a bunch of people buying foxbody's and racing because they dont want to loose an expensive car.

Isn't Rich from the Dallas area? He is a member of and I believe a moderator at another Dallas local car forum site.

I know the guy started around 15 other series, and this is about the only one that survived. He came up with a good idea, a reality tv show that isn't ENTIRELY scripted...

I've met him briefly... doesn't seem like too bad of a guy...

You don't have to be an expert to do something. I've made art, but I'm no artist. I've written some killer essays, but I'm no english major...

Anyways... I don't think its too terrible of a show.

I don't have a problem with him. Seeing him in person is kinda funny though, he can't be any taller than 5'7"

I think he had a good idea and knew the right people to get a decent show started and get more people to the track. He may not know much about cars, but he tries. Did all of us just pop out of the womb knowing everything about cars.. I doubt it. Gotta learn somehow. A few more years on that show and he will know quite a bit.

I don't hate him, but don't care to meet him or anything. I am indifferent.

He is so cool he drops bikes on TV!

He should take his roid'n biceps back the the gym and let someone who at least knows how to find the dipstick do the arm dropping.

i think that he had an awsome idea, before theat show there was nothing like it yes there has been some bad episodes but there has been also some great ones like those two brothers with the 68 camaro and the red forth gen......, there is no show on tv like it, pinks all out seems like a cool show as well, i was never a fan of the car links(fail) but overall its a cool show to watch, except for those nasty *** like **** boxes with ford badges on them, like mentioned before is bringing our lots more people to drag races in a time where it seems like all of them are shutting down......


all the people that think he is a dumbass should post a picture of themselves just to see if they would be more dreamy than him.......
