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."
