Maybe I read the wrong article.

The article I read said nothing about NHRA endorsing or taking over 'Pinks'. The article I saw said that the producers of Pinks would basically oversee and produce shows filmed at events, working with the NHRA. The 'events' would include racing, autocross, car shows, swap meets, etc.

I personally don't see the appeal of Pinks myself, but if people like it, good for them.

I see the NHRA trying to promote events that will place more people at race tracks, and making steps to televise those events. It is hard for me to figure out a reason to bash NHRA for such a plan.
