It was a decent hot rod show til they got all weird and started scheming the way they picked the field. They would call it a 9.90 class and most of the cars would run 10.30's. That's what they did at Norwalk, and about 4 of the final 16 cars were Chevy Vega's. Did they think people wouldn't notice this stuff?
I agree, passtime is much better. And so is NHRA Unleashed.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...............come again ? Most of the time when watching Pinks , I see a cluster of fans crowded around the camera and mostly empty bleachers when they are going down track. Yes , they gave exposure. But if the price is having to put up with that imbecile Rich Christiansen , I'll have to think about it. My dog knows more about cars and they could not have come up with a worse host. He loves the drama more than the cars..........bottom line. And judging from the tone of your posts on the topic , it has some appeal to you also. You carry the torch for them like you're on the payroll. If you love the show , fine. But don't make it out to be more than it is. I don't think it has changed the world for us at all , other than throwing some money and tools at a few people. It certainly isn't a recruitment poster.
