I seen a golden opportunity...!!

Another Pinks like Street Car Outlaw program.

There are a lot of shut down and active Tracks that could capitalize on this Street Racer fad..

It is huge but there is nobody upstairs with the Drag Racing Management and Marketing skill to capitalize on this.

Just like them ignoring COMP, Super Stock and Stock...

Street Outlaws maybe hanging five on legality.
I like the intrigue..
Yeah we know it is staged....grow it !!!

Some may remember me making the suggestion of putting on a class car "PINKS All Out" kind of program after my participation experience, actually discussed with Rich Christiansen (who, by the way was very interested) several times only to get shot down by the majority. Now that this debacle has opened a can of worms, Mike Beard is correct in that NHRA continues to sit on their hands until something like this happens, forcing them to respond this way. Although I disagree with a lot of decisions out of Glendora, I have to side with them on this, especially when a racer is foolish enough to leave his number and NHRA decals on his car. But it has also set a precedence in their (lack) of marketing the sportsman guys. And now with Steve Earwood teaming with Rich C and Brian Bossone resurrecting the PINKS brand, S and SS, not just NHRA, are missing out on a golden opportunity.

Sorry to be a bit off topic a bit, but had to add my $.02
