It was like the old days of super stock drag racing. The stands were jammed both days. Z-Max announced that seating and standing was sold out over 50,000 on Satuday and I think there was close to that many on Friday, but there was a lot of specators in the pits. One of the ticket gates is right near the staging lanes and each time we ran during the day there was always a line of people coming through the entrance.

You went in to tech, they put a class letter on your window and you went racing. It was a 500 car event. Television camera crews and spectators. The spectators were able to walk up to the cars, between runs talk to the racers, take pictures of the cars. In the pits on Friday night there were motorhomes, tents, everyone cooking out and the ones that did sleep some were on the ground with sleeping bags and sleeping in the tow trailer. This was the most fun I personally have had in a long time. There are racers who are following this as a curcuit. As I had mention before we were back in the pit area during part of the racing and the sound of the roar of the spectator there and as a racer you knew there was no John Force or Warren Johnson out there going down the track.

Now the sad part about this, since a lot of racers have a problem with Pink All Out, we entered this race for two days, we drove from Raleigh to Charlotte. pulling a 55 foot trailer. Family and friend made the crew, 6 crew passes, paid for tickets for two other family members for Saturday. Food, snacks, drinks, fuel, diesel and racing the whole week-end of family fun and racing was less than $600.
