Default Re: PINKS...Here's Our Chance.....

I would imagine, though I have not talked to Rich,it would be 500 s/ss cars that would just run all out, and they would pick 16 just like they do on a regular show. It would just be s/ss cars only. LIke my Dad said (qtrmile2) how cool would that be. When is the last time you've seen the stands full for s/ss at a national event? The people would go nuts the way our cars leave the starting line. It sounds like Rich is ready and like Gary said here's our chance so who wants to.

OK. I think pinks is a great deal for bracket racers and class racers that run 10.0 to 10.5. This seems to be the medium picked on each show. Every once in a while you may get 9 sec cars but that is not that often. So how long do you honestly think stockers and super stockers that have spent tons of money on combo's that do not run in the above ratio will attend these events? I am building a K/SA car for a reason. All of the class racers built their cars for a reason and a specific class. With an event that grosses 1.0M average I don't see them changing the rules just for us. Also, Gary said what Rich is wanting to do DOES NOT include TV time so there goes most of your support for sponsorship and contingency. Stock and Superstock needs to be fixed but if you turm our class into run what you brung heads up grudge racing we will quickly become the laughing stock of Drag Racing. People will think we are just plain stupid to spend 30K+ on a car when backyard guys are building 10 sec nitrous cars for a few thousand bucks and running the same time competeing at the same event.
