I'm in again thanks to wifey. You guys on the alternate list will probably get in, that's how I got in the 2008 Norwalk Pinksallout, and I was WAY down on the alternate list, I'm talking over 200 people down. It was a miserable fiasco racing in it last time but saturday was pretty fun and we got our millisecond of fame on tv so it's worth it. The Pinksallout guys love Mopars and even if they do goofy things on tv sometimes you won't even be thinking about that when you make a couple passes in front of 30,000 people. Last time I was only running 10.80's and got outran by a station wagon. Hopefully I can redeem myself. Lol!

Me and the wife tried AGAIN to get in. I kept getting kicked off and she was ready when it hit noon. She put 1 ticket in her cart, went to check out, hit ok and it told her they were all SOLD OUT. This was all done by 12:02. I never got back on the site and we gave up at 12:20 trying to do anything on there. I am DONE with this Crap of trying to get on this Dam- show. I have tried every pinks event that was close to us (4 of them now, milan, martin, norwalk, norwalk)and have never gotten close yet. We even was using the university computers which are fast, still no Luck. You All Have Fun that made it in and I Hope someone on here brings home the cash. I Don't Even Care to go Watch it Anymore. I can't believe we sell out in minutes here and in Mich but places like florida, vegas, and others have a day or more to buy tickets. Oh well rant is done and I am done. Good Luck Guys. David I'll sit here and

I'm not sure all of the drivers entries are being bought through the tracks website. The tracks website directs you to TIX.COM, who actually sells the tix. I keep on hearing about people that skipped the tracks website and got them directly from TIX. I went onto the TIX website several minutes after the tix were sold out on Norwalk, and they still had DRIVERS ENTRIES posted, but when I went to checkout, it said sold out. But it was obvious that the entries were for sale on another site than Norwalks. If they are going to do that, they should post it on their site for all to see. And it would also make sense that a place in the business of selling tix would be better set up for a rush of sales than the tracks website, which has to re-direct them, anyways.

I didn't race last time but I sure the guys and gals that did had a great time. Personally I wouldn't walk across the street to see it. To much BS.

i went to the one in martin last year sat by the computer at work that is super fast and got in went for the experience and to partake of the atmosphere at a nationally televised event lucked out and got picked for the 32 no skill involved to get picked other than low 10 cars are popular with pinks won the first round and made it to the final 16 you can say what you will(not meant to anyone in particuler)but that was the coolest thing i ever did with my car and i wish everyone could feel what it was like to come down that return lane in front of that many people and hear the cheering even if i got spanked the next round imagine what jerry "moparpitbull" hayes felt like when he went all the way it may seem like a bunch of BS but

So many people wanted to appear on PINKS: All Out, a drag racing reality show that airs on SPEED TV, we had phone system and Web site outages in the city of Norwalk as an estimated 9,000 racers tried to grab one of 425 available driver entries. Entries for the televised event went on sale Monday, December 7 at noon, and sold out in two minutes.
An episode of PINKS: All Out will be filmed at Summit Motorsports Park August 27-28, 2010. The show last filmed an episode at the track in June, 2008.
"We had a lot of people simultaneously trying to get one of these driver entries," said Bill Bader, Jr., president of Summit Motorsports Park. "When you have that many people calling and using the Web site at the same time, it creates a huge load on the equipment." Many residents on the east side of the city of Norwalk lost phone service and Internet access mid-day Monday as the demand interrupted service.
"There were only two other times when the city of Norwalk experienced this much load on the phone and Internet lines," Bader continued. "The first was when a local resident appeared on American Idol and people were voting for him, and the second was when tickets for the first PINKS: All Out event went on sale in December, 2007."
