Good now I can race at one of their events like I was wanting to do. But they are all too far away from where I live so maybe they will have something closer than KC or Denver.

Better than nothing, but a "grudge" style show, with actual grudge cars racing for a pot, would be far more entertaining......
I liked the way Pinks All Out was set up... they got tons of cars to show up and race for a NICE pot and a tool box... I sure dont think they would get that many grudge racers to show up.. JMO... plus they have to run a FEW cars down the track and if they had to scrape cars off the walls it would really slow the show down

Real grudge cars would show up for real pots.
The stupidity of the original PINKS and the reason so many pieces of junk were showcased, was the reality of losing a car. How many people in their right minds would risk losing a legit piece???
All-Out was ok, but was too much like bracket racing. Let the camps set the stips and the kitty and have at it on a prepped surface with the nations best grudge cars.
Now THAT would be a show worth watching.

I would also like a show like that, but you would need to figure out how to get the trash talking on TV.
This last statement is the BS I can deal without.. who cares about the crap...put em on the track and run

Careful editing that shows the highlights of the negotiations would be entertaining if done properly.

I had a great time - both times I went to Pinks. Like most people, I didn't make it ONTO the show, but had a great time hanging with all my friends at the track for a couple of days. The atmosphere was electric and everybody was for the most part having a good time. Where else can you go and get some hits on the track for 2 days and a fancy T-shirt for $40? LOL
Bring your BBQ grills and have a party!
same here and would do it again.

As goofy as the bald guy can be, the event we participated in @ Gateway back in 2008 was very well organized and we had a great time overall.

I was at the Gateway event too. I knew I was too fast to get picked, (they were looking for 16 tightly grouped cars) but I had a great time and the place was packed. I even got a little air time on the tv show.
I don't know who took this pic, (attachment) but I'd love to have a better copy as it may be my favorite pic of my car....
About the best I can do on that run.

The woman raced at the Milan Pinks and was in the 11.0 class till they decided to do the 9.90 group instead. We had a Great time anyways, got to talk to the Pinks guys and they all were Nice, and will do it again.
Now my only complaint is how they have you get picked to enter your car. I have tried 4 different times for 4 different tracks to get thru on the computer just to get the comment, Sorry we are Full. I even went to a big university figuring the computers were faster but still the same thing. I had the site opened and ready when the time started to register. The woman tried all 4 times also and she did get thru on the Milan one. I get MAD when you hear someone on the show say, "this is my 4th time racing on your show" and I CAN'T EVEN get on 1 time. Rant over and I am Happy they are coming back. David
I know what you mean... I tried each time when it was anywhere near me and I never got in... but the wife and I went to 2 or 3 of them just to watch... but we knew people at each track that got in so we would hang out with them... yes it was a big party

Looking forward to it. From what I saw, I the tracks were full. I'm sure the tracks will really love having a chance at increased revenue. Hopefully Willy B doesn't return. He's not the only thing that sucked in the "improved" version. But he was a big part of it. I never made one in person. But I'm looking forward to trying to get to one.

Yeah they were full... they would have all the cars they wanted and still the stands were full... so the tracks had to be happy on that... I showed up to watch at Norwalk, Milan and US131... and each was FULL

Pinks all out was a lot better than the old pinks. To much wheeling and dealing give me this give me that BS in the original pinks.

At a normal bracket race in Memphis there will be 0 people in the stands. I went over there for Pinks All Out and the place was packed.

No age limit please... you got to give us OLD guys a shot at it... like your dad... I dont recall what you are referring to in the last season.. unless it was the last minute ET change thing... which I found a bit weird
That's what I was referring to Mike I liked Nate and Adam running the show since they were actually racers.
