It sad because they were never told that they were told they would run a quick 8 Chicago style race for them. To say the least that debatical burned alot of bridges down here.

Agree with many of you Rich is a total pin head but with some tweaking it could be a fun racing format.

Just my opinion

I agree, I kinda liked the concept, but I am/was an unrepentant street racer. Arms, lights, it never did matter that much to me.But rich Christensen can disappear into his new career as a foot race promoter and I won't miss him

I saw the You Tube preview.Did you see all the side betting in the background?Kinda looked like Connecting Highway back in 1968.All that was missing was the shootout when it came time to pay up.Right Artie?:>):>):>)

we ran our 71 mustang at bristol and made it all the way to the semis. to me pinks was by far our best time ever at a race. i bet at least 100 people took pics or told stories of cars like ours. my nephew ed who drives the car signed autographs for at least one hour after we lost. how many stock or s/s racers can say that? if bill hawk or sorenson or one of the fast hemi cars would have been there they would have been swamped with pics and or stories. by the way many thanks to s/s racer jeff lawrence for building one helluva 351c!!!!!! to all the doomsayers and naysayers i believe pinks was one of the best things ever for the little guy in drag racing!!!!!!

PASS TIME was a much more entertaining show for me......the PINKS arm drop thing was just absurd........according to the Brett Wagner...they have not contacted him to film any new PASS TIME shows for 2011 either.......looks like TV drag racing is on the decline and I don't get MAV tv
