I'll bet that we could get, let's say Haas and Oakes, Armstrong and Thomas, Hawk and Biondo, etc,etc,etc, to go at it on network TV. Best 3 out of 5 and get Terry or Wesley to tear them down ahead of time and weigh and fuel check between rounds. I'm pretty sure that as the show moved around the country we could find enough rivalries and bad blood to make it interesting. Even with 2 or 3 pairs per week there would probably be enough in stories to fill up an hour.
That right there is a lot more believable (and watchable) than the original Pinks.

Billy may be on to something here. Kinda like the old match race days. Promoted it would bring a ton of Spectators (cash) to the track for a lot less expence on thier part than promoting some of the other shows.
All Billy needs now is some $$$$ backing and a few good cars to step up to the plate.
Call them, "Billy's Shoot Out" I can see a cutout of him dressed like the Billy the Kid Photo. It might sell.
I'll bet he's just as capable of teching the cars as anyone too.
Could be Kool.
Sorry Billy it's your idea and you need to run with it. Bet Beaver Bob would go for it!
All you need now is the camera crew.
Merry Christmas.
