Pinks All Out is a TV show that reminds me of "Let's Make a Deal" or "The Price is Right", whereas they have a whole bunch of people in the audience jumping up and down begging the host to be chosen as one of the contestants, then one of the few chosen wins the big prize.
I've been and I don't know exactly what you mean. Sure didn't see any "butterin' up" as far as the cars or class that was chosen. At least in Seattle anyways.
And if you think they're only going to choose "shiny-clean" cars, you know it ain't so just by watching the show. No paint/no brite can go a long ways!!
And yes...it's a long day...especially waiting for them to announce the field. Not to mention the 5 hours between runs.
Gotta stay out of the "refreshments" etc just in case you're called!!

It's funny with so many guys griping about Pinks,that it always is hard to get a ticket to any of the events. I went to the one in Indy last year,and had a good time,in spite of not being picked,and the tornadoes and storms coming in. Just go have fun,I'm thinking about trying to get into another one.It's fun to do something a little different once in a while.

I had three other people trying to get my ticket to Indy for me last year,only my brother was able to get it.He logged back in and could have bought another ticket afterwards. Nobody else could even get through the first time. With my snail-speed internet access,I HAVE to get someone else to try for me!

Congrats Tony..... can your car run 10.0... if not
its not that long of a day 
I ran 11.0's at Vegas and had a short day. They took a hi 10's crowd. 
Then I ran 10.0's at Famoso and still had a short day. They took the 10.3-10.5 crowd. 
Don't know what I'll do at Infineon this year, but bet I still have a short day. 
I know I'll have a good time racing and hanging out with Moparts guys though....

And, what bracket race are you going to where you have a chance to win $10,000 and $8,000 worth of tools, and win it all on national television?
How many would you like me to mention Dave, the purse that is. Most racers care more about winning then they do about being on TV. I think you like Rich's bald spot a little too much.
Good luck Tony your certainly going to need it to win. All luck, little skill... Hey how bout a new show, Pinks for old guys!!
