Just watched Pinks all Out. Ennis Texas event - 07/31/09 05:20 AM

All I can say is wow!! I have not seen the show since it changed it's format. Only the commercials. Who the hell is Willie B? Rich's boy friend?

And since when is it against the rules to run coolant at the track? Yeah it's a PITA when someone has a spill, and no-one sure as heck wants to have one, but to basically embarass those two guys on national TV, and in front of the fans. I would have punched Rich right then and there.

Why do we have to see the same footage 2 or 3 times during the show? I love drag racing, and the more coverage the better. But this is getting out of hand. And the up coming FOUR lane racing?

Too bad Ken Herring and especially Clay Millican is associated with this crap.

Rant off

Actually, a lot of tracks are banning anti-freeze, too much trouble for clean up.

Really? So it's a local (track) decision, and not an NHRA or IHRA rule then?

New show still stinks though.

Any track i've run at one of the first question is are you running anti-freeze,because your NOT suppose to..its almost impossible to clean up and the knuckleheads that get pass tech with it and then overheat or blow a head gasket are the cause for all the delays in the racing..

I live around DFW and saw a lot of friends on the show last night. Like Matty who was in the blue Nova that got beat with four cars left. She is a local bracket racer. I was really cheesed that the show spent more time in Rich's face talking about coolant than showing cars going down the track, and what was with the starting line view? Why no finish line shots all night. It was lame.

I like the way they always go to a commercial just before they get to the stripe Great marketing for their customers but it just plain sucks to watch

when you register for pinks all out.it says no antifreeze,they will be checking your cars during tech.i like the kid last night show,said he drained it at the track,but forgot about the antifreeze in the block.

I think the water rule is a good idea, just don't agree with the public humiliation(where's my spell check gone ) of the two drivers in question. Done in bad taste.

I agree with the no antifreeze and the ban. Only because they were warned and signed up for the race with those rules. Now putting those people on TV and degrading them. That lost me as a veiwer. Plus I was hopeing the first guy would of punched old Richy.I would never take that from anyone.

Re: Just watched Pinks all Out. Ennis Texas event - 07/31/09 03:15 PM

I feel the same way about the antifreeze rule, but the cocky attitude from Rich has gone too far. I know how I am when someone get's in my face and most other racers are the same. Someone needs to give him a little "get right" soon to curb the tude. I like the show and the format, but the producers need to remember these people are racers first and not actors.

I have to side with the show on this issue.. All the racers know antifreeze is prohibited.

Re: Just watched Pinks all Out. Ennis Texas event - 07/31/09 03:20 PM

Yeah, I did Pinks this year and it was fun, because of all the cool racers and friends, not the show folks by any means. This makes me laugh because during the "driver meeting" Rich was a total donkey. He was very cocky and must have said a few times that if a driver had antifreeze, he would have a "face to face" with them about how stupid they were and they would be banned from any of his shows for life. Sounded good to me because I won't be going back to them anyway.

and as far as being a viewer, I am done as well. the show has gotten ridiculous and Rich and crew think a little too much of themselves.

Hopefully Rich calling those guys out will work to make others realize that their actions affect others. If the rules state no anti-freeze, either don't race, or comply. Down time sucks

If I remember correctly, those 2 cars were already in the staging lanes. They had called some up into staging before his driver meeting. Tech didn't check squat, at least the guy in my lane. It is a reality show first and a drag race third......never did figure out what was second. They didn't show all the ranting Rich did about the cleanups before he talked to the guys. They also didn't show how he announced the 11 second class and everyone booing him because of his "unpopular decision" based on all the e-mails he received about people wanting to see cars that people built themselves, after stating numerous times that it would be a 32 car field. With that, I had a great time, got to make a couple passes at a new track and met some very nice people and am glad I went because of that.

I disagree ...the TECH guys should've been the ones hung by their nuts.

Yes the drivers are guilty BUT is it not the TECH process that should be scrutinized?????.

The show is sinking my eyes.

It's not "All-OUT"...it's "All-DRAMA".

I'm losing interest in this show quickly.....which sucks because it gives the "average" racer , drivers and cars we never get to see, some exposure.

Re: Just watched Pinks all Out. Ennis Texas event - 07/31/09 03:54 PM

well anti-freeze sucks to clean up but around here the tracks get so many sportsman racers that race there every day car if they ban antifreeze they will lose over half there racers.

Re: Just watched Pinks all Out. Ennis Texas event - 07/31/09 03:54 PM

It aint about the antifreeze, or drag racing - it's about "me" and of course - the money. Kinda reminds me of O.C.C. or West Coast Choppers. A bunch of bantering BS! Richie himself admitted he knows nothing about cars - "I don't even know how to open the hood on my own car." It's a shame that drag racing in general is associated with that crap.

It's TV guys what can really expect ????? It's sure better than watching a bunch of folks living in a house or playing Tarzan in some fake "Wild & Dangerous jungle" And as far as the antifrezze I'll bet the first time you stuffed your car into the guardrail because some D.A dumped antifreeze all over the track you'd have a diffrent opinion

Re: Just watched Pinks all Out. Ennis Texas event - 07/31/09 05:33 PM

I think we all agree about the antifreeze issue. I am as most have agreed talking about the attitude the show has taken. I went to one of the shows a couple of years ago, and would go back again. but heaven forbid him or any other cat for that matter get in my face and not expect to pick up some teeth. I try my best to treat people with a certian amount of respect, but I demand to be treated with the same.
The average racer at the track normally gets a grand total of 3 runs for the whole weekend so it's the racers and spectators that are paying for the show. We all go to have fun and maybe win some money,not to get insulted.

When it's more about the "characters" than the cars, it's a "Soap Opera" - and one Clay Millican will never legitamize it.

The new format stinks. The real problem is Rich period. He was right for getting upset with the anti-freeze deal, but his ego and lack of drag racing knowledge is what’s turning viewer's off. I know it was his idea to put this together and bring it to everyone’s living room, but it’s time for him to go. I think the show would benefit with a different host.
Who would you like to see take Rich’s place?

So you think it's OK to make the guys feel like 2 cents in front of thousands of people?

Sorry, but I wasn't raised that way.

I still like Pinks All-out. The original Pinks just does not work for me but All-out is cool. All-out has always been kinda of goofy from the beginning but I can over look that part of it. Same goes for Pass Time( another of Rich C's ideas supposedly). Goofy in a way but I really like it. I never thought A televised bracket type racing event would get enough sponsors or ratings to make it.

I stink at the tree. Can't wait for the "arm drop" to replace it!

Re: Just watched Pinks all Out. Ennis Texas event - 07/31/09 11:42 PM

I'll agree, Rich is a changed man.. When compared to cutting his teeth during the first season.. BUT.. what everyone seems to be over looking is Pinks and PAO is a great shot in the arm for our sport..

In addition, how many of us small time racers has a chance to be on national TV along with the chance to win $18K in cash and prizes?

The show is changing, the people are changing and so is our sport.. but I will forever be grateful for the way Rich C has brought our sport into our living rooms..

I have to agree that the new format stinks. The smoothies at both ends of the track need to go. I was surprised they didn't get rid of Rich when the dill-hole took the spill on the crotch rocket.

Re: Just watched Pinks all Out. Ennis Texas event - 08/01/09 12:11 AM

I never liked the arm drop start. If you are going to do old school, get a flagman like the old days. That must be some street racer/ricer deal. I think they would be better off using the tree. They had a puppet/marionette on the No Problem show. Maybe they could wire it to the tree and get rid of Rich? I never liked the original PINKS -- too much BS and sandbagging for me. All Out is an improvement, but should just use a tree, IMO.

So the show's tech didn't catch the antifreeze? Scew the show then, no need to run their mouths.

The racers let it happen? I don't feel sorry, you stand up for yourself. Sounds like their cars weren't up for grabs and they were kicked out anyway. So tell the guy to stop being a candyass.

When people drop antifreeze here in KY, they just get out a flamethrower and burn the crap up. We wouldn't have ANY tracks if you couldn't run antifreeze. I do think most of the racers with track cars run water. But there are still cars with it running and that won't change. Cleanups don't take that damn long and again, you won't race at all unless if it were banned and enforced.

I thought it was just me that didn't like the new format.
There was a thread a while ago and it seemed like everybody that posted was into the new look.
Glad to see I'm not the only only one who thinks Willie b is Riches bum buddy
