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

Well, what would you say if somebody (Rich) was interested in developing a racing show that showcased S/SS cars ? Developing a rules structure similar to NHRA/IHRA. Getting the quality of our cars and competition in front of the masses in person and on SPEED TV. Actually PROMOTING S/SS racing.This might get the young crowd interested in our style of racing and bring people out of the woodwork from days gone by. I am going to try and help this program get off the ground. (sorry Gary, LOL) Potential sponsors that don't have the capital to fund a professional team can sponsor a team for alot less money in S/SS teams and have their company logo on national tv. It's a win-win situation. Nobody is bad mouthing any sanctioning body. Just trying to promote another alternative to an exhaustive and costly run for a national championship with todays sanctioning bodys. If you like the idea, great ! If you don't , that's ok. I think it will benefit all S/S racers in the long run. You can run these races and NHRA, IHRA, AHRA or your local S/SS association (All of the above is cool) A series of hour long shows on SPEED. TV. It's all good.

I hated the original pinks program, but I think he may have gotten it right by now. I hear the street squirrels and the kids at the local track on test & tune night and they dig the crap out of it. If this is a chance to get out there with stockers & super stockers, it might be a fun & good thing.
I feel that something is going to have to change or us & our dinasours are going to become extinct.
I think these stock/super stock associations are a step in the right direction.
As long as the major assoiciation controls the rule book, and they do a good job of it, they will keep us on their pupet strings. Enforcement of the rules is a different story. It seems to be a "who you know deal". I think an independent, non-profit association, needs to be formed to take over the rule book and enforce it. You know, the way it originally was. In this way more $ could go the the track operators (and they need it if they're going to provide us a good play ground) who need to make a profit. And more $ could go the the racers. This would require a monumental undertaking and I doubt we could unite enough to pull something like this off.

Just my views, now go ahead and take your shots at me.

Yeah, but that is not what pinks all out is. A new format? Sure.
