Pretty lame idea for a tv show

Yea really dumb, but I wouldn't be surprized if people want to watch dumb stuff like that.

I see the "black car" just slowing things down. They'll all bunch up behind it and the only way to gain any track position will be to play bumper cars !!

Is that guy just plain nuts or what? How did his foot racing ever work out?

I reckon he made enough $$ off Pinks and All Out to just stand back and throw crap at the wall to see what sticks. No Pits seems more stinky than sticky to me.

Even if it was a good idea, he couldnt even make Pinks and All Out, which actually would have been cool, fun to watch.

I think the demise of Pinks all out was the new format and Rich probably got greedy...Then Speed pulled the plug!!

I agree Boomer... I think there was more to the cancellation than just ratings...

No doubt!! When Rich lived around here,him and his wife donated quite a bit to our local wellness center. My wife an I are very good friends with Richs brother,Kent and his wife,Cindy...We haven't seen them since they moved to Texas...

I still think he got too greedy...

Get rid of the "black car" and it might not be so bad. But of course rich always has to make things gay somehow.

I mean just look at pinks all out. Ya lets have a bracket race where we pick some cars that fit the index we choose and call it heads up

I'll stop there before I go off on a huge rant

I might watch just to see if anyone will total the gay car.

Would be better if rich was in it though.

The black car is just a gimmick to promote the Camaro for GM as a free built in ad every 2 minutes.

No thanks, I'll promote my local dirt track for entertainment.

Now if he combined this idea with the foot-race he'd have a great show! MAN VERSUS MACHINE!!

At least until the swelling went down!

Lame. His concepts turn racing into some kind of "reality theatre", where the purity of the real thing is tweaked into a game show.
Come to think of it, calling the stuff on TV "reality" shows is a perversion of the term; they're largely if not entirely fabricated, and therefore meaningless. They do make money, though, which is all the networks care about.
I think it was H.L.Mencken who said one cannot underestimate the taste of the average person, or words to that effect...

Much like the NHRA.

Thank you for a solid laugh at a time when I needed it most.

Rich seems to be one of those muscle bound types who are compensating for feelings of inadequacy.

AS soon as I saw him dump that street bike on one of his first shows, I knew he was a muscle head who knew nothing about cars or bikes. Just the way he stands there looking at the cars, I doubt if he know what end is what.

Come on guys, give him a break. We'll all love the show. It even says so on the web page so it must be true.

If you like racing, you're going to love 'No Pits Racing'

Seriously, I hated 'Pinks' but I did like 'Pinks All Out'.
