YOU WANT THE TRUTH - YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH

PINKS: ALL OUT Is Coming To Texas Motorplex September 2, 2006 and we don't care how HOT it gets!

Gates open at 7AM - Bring your friends, family, trailers and RV's and don't plan on leaving until after midnight!

ALL OUT Qualifying begins at 9AM (It's like a test & tune on steroids!) Don't be late! You get atleast 2 runs! ALL OUT Qualifying ends at 3 PM and things are just getting started!

Rich Christensen and Team PINKS will select 16 killer racers from ALL OUT Qualifying to compete for $10,000 in a Heads-Up, Run-What-Ya-Brung, Let's-Get-Ugly, Shootout, Showdown! You might get picked just because Rich likes the color of your car or the grease stain on your wife beater! Plus, 8 racers will receive $1000 CASH!

Yes, there will be chaos. Yes, there will be screaming. Yes, there will be crying. And if you sandbag at this competition - You're going HOME Big Dog!

Will there be title racing? THIS IS PINKS! Bring your title and we'll find you a race!

It's $10 bucks for racers and $10 bucks for spectators. Not one dime goes to PINKS! We're the ones giving the money, remember?

Look, Rich wants to give $18,000 away and watch some hardcore, no bullsh#T racing! It's that simple.

So show up and get ready to push your car like it's never been pushed before. Oh yeah, you might just have one of the best times of your life!

- Street cars that pass tech inspection only.
- No titles required
- No sandbaggers allowed.

OK show, but MY GOD, I wish they would use timing lights instead of Rich out there waving his arms down just to get a few more seconds of on-screen time, trying to look like the badass that he's not..
I've seen a couple of episodes where the racer hit it perfectly, but a big argument ensued as everyone tried to figure out exactly where Rich's arm was when the car left the line. Also, HELLO... let's see the real elapsed times and trap speeds, is'nt that what organized drag racing is about?
Timing lights don't lie.

Anyway, I'm sure Y'all will have a lot of fun at that event. :-D

Pinks as got to be the worst show I've ever seen on Speed. With all the staged drama and bad camera angles it's unwatchable. Not to mention Rich, who looks like the poster boy for a gay pride parade, waving his hands around like an idiot. Why would anyone want to on that show?

Actually it's not the worst show on speed. That would be reserved for Unique Whips, but Pinks is a very close second.

I agree with you about Unique Whips. Pinks is definitely not the worst.

HaHaHaHaa! :lol: :lol: Yes, there is just something very annoying about that guy. Speed has'nt really done that well with their productions, which is odd because after all, it IS a car channel. Build Or Bust could be a great show, but you can tell that the producer/cameraman used to be a porn producer before he finally hit the big time on Speed.
Opera music and freelance synthesized keyboard background music for a show about building choppers? ***??? Plus the GUY BEHIND THE CAMERA IS NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK, much less amuse himself by jerking the chain of the poor bastard trying to get the bike built.
