How does pinks sustain stock and super stock futures? This is not class racing it is not even close. People will never grasp the concept of class racing if you change the format from the way it is done now. Also everybody on here needs to understand. THIS IS FOR ARM DROP LIVE NOT PINKS. No TV time, No big press, nothing. The fan base is alot smaller and there hasnt been any mention of what the purse would actually be. Talk to Rich and ask him the chance of a show with even 12.5 cars or slower and watch him laugh. He will be the first to tell you that doesn't excite the crowd enough. It is all about the dollar to Speed and Rich just like to NHRA. Of course Rich says put on your Sundays Best and we might get a show but in reality that is a very slim chance. Especially if you run slower cars. Has anyone thought to ask why some of the tracks have dropped the PINK ALL OUT show from their format? Why don't you ask Pat down at No Problem. Maybe he can give some insight. People say this will bring more calss racers to our side however, If you have the chance to build a car that runs 10.0 with nitrous for 4K or a stocker that runs 10.0 for 50K which one will you choose? C'mon man. All this will do is say to the HRA's that our class wants to compete in heads up no rules racing so why keep them around. You are hurting the class instead of helping it. Somebody also said that seeing their car for 1/10 of a second on TV is worth it. Worth what? I would rather have a chance at 10K with no TV than spend entry and expenses to say hey if you dont blink you can see my car on tv and then explain that my car wasnt good enough to get picked to race for the money while some other guys junk was.
