Sounded cool until you mentioned Rich from pinks.He's a bagpipe when it comes to cars.
as true as that is there is not many out doing anything for the average racer. so it's a plus for him to go out and do it. i will support it given the chance.
I agree, I know he can't ride a motorcycle, and doesn't know much about cars, but at least it gets a little bit of airtime.
However 1/8 mile should make it more about launching your car and skill too, which is neat to see. Mike
It should be interesting to see who has the knowledge to plat the power to the ground and win the race/stand the car up and loose the race .Oh and rich says he's been riding motorcycles since he was 5 .

Irwindale is 1/8th mile. I think you can shorten it up 60', 330',the 11th crack, etc.

I`m all for a new drag racing show. I don`t think Rich is a bad host for the show.
well fact is there is no one else out trying to do anything with drag racing so i guess we will have to take what ever we can get.it's not easy to get a network to do a show like this it takes drama of some sort

What kills me is all these haters bring nothing to the table nobody else has done anything to promote are sport none of you has come up with anything but talk and hate so please unless you are setting up a show yourself come up with some good ideas and stop your hate have you notice since he's been gone dragracing has taken a hit.
Thank you and well said..............so easy to sit back and talk crap about what a "tool" someone is when he`s brought some good stuff for racers nation wide and our sport is falling fast in case you havn`t noticed.
You are absolutely right people who bring nothing to the table talk the most crap with their hate ask the track owners how they did with the show and when Rich was trying out new idea's for new shows he asked the racer's and viewer's for idea's to help the show.

You really think its because he has been gone? The sport is taking a hit because there isn't as much money floating around in this sucky economy.

How much racing have you done how many times did you go to the track when your car was not ready to race supporting your local track the point is Rich has a show that attracts viewers and brings fans and grassroots racers to their local tracks that cannot be disputed.

How many times I haven't been to the track is my exact point! I don't have money since the economy dumped and my wife lost her job 6+ years ago. How long has his show been off the air? I think you will see the down turn of drag racing has more to do with money over him being gone. The reason he is gone is because the money isn't there. I don't have anything against him either.
