Pinks All Out - I'm going to enter my 55 Chevy

http://www.speedtv.com/features/855/

They are trying a different format for Pinks at my home track.. Firebird Raceway in Phoenix.

9 second cars running all out (no sandbagging), not for ***les but just for cash.

I just got a NHRA Ch***is Cert for the car, so it's legal to 8.50. However it is unlikely I will have my license by December 9th. If not, I will have a friend drive the car.

Anyways, I think I have a decent shot at getting in the show. I'm sure they will have plenty of turbo Mustangs and nitroused Camaro's, but not many straight axle 55's with stack injection.

I have to admit... I hate the show, and dont really watch it, but I'd love to get some publicity and represent the g***er style cars.

 

I hope you get in ... I would love to see a car that actually interest me on that show. There hasn't been a car on it worth watching since Tim, From Minnesota Hot Rod's ran his A sedan.. The new format should be good I hate the B.S. negotiations

 

What you dont like cookie cutter MustangIIs?
Seriously it would be cool to see well put together vintage power there...

 

I'm with you. My bro runs a Pukestang and topped at 8.76/167 but it is STILL a Pukestang. I'd love to see some old iron clock his ***. Not just the wrench I've got for him...

 

good luck! I thought about trying to get in on the show but I'd freak if I lost my car.be the first one on the show to cry like a baby

 

I hope you get in.. what kind of cash does it take to play.. do you set up a grudge race under the new rules or do they pair you and then you talk cash. Unfortunately, there is no sand bagging now since folks kinda know what you run..

 

somehow ....i still see some sand baggers......oh yeah , on the 1st stage it runs 9.50's....2nd gets it in the 8.70 range....it ought to be pretty interesting...... as long as 55 steals the show.....lol brandon

 

Good luck, from the episodes I've seen of Pinks, the starter dude causes controversy. Seems like he's always explaining his way out of some screw up. I wish they would just run the timing systems at the track and forget all the hoke poke gymnastics at the starting line. Anyway, we'll be pullin' for ya'.

 

I think that'd rock. Pinks is my favorite show on TV, and I'm tired of seeing mustangs vs. Fbodies or Gbodies.

 

Good luck man, hope you bring home all that cash!

 

it will be nice to bring some cl*** to the show.
bring the cl*** , whip some ***, and take the cash. good luck.

 

What If! You lose you car. That would really ****. Is that show for real or is it like pro wrestling? Anyway good luck.

 

Shaky Pudding is the cats***!!! I love that car... Go fer it!

 

I hope you get in and kick they're ***es. I'll check in when I can so I can watch you do it.

Junkyard

 

And represent us traditionalists on the HAMB! You've GOT to post a thread when it's gonna be on. I might throw a Pinks party,HAMB style!

 

I will make a donation cash or parts if you get on the show. I have thought about it myself. Keep me posted.

 

go kick some *** and showem what real hot rods are all about.Good luck

 

Awesome! I'll definitely be watching. I hope that you kick some serious *** on there.. The ultimate would be to see you paired up against a mid '50s Ford G***er.

For those who may be wondering, Pinks All Out is a one shot deal at this time. They will still be making the normal episodes too. From where I sit, Pinks seems to be a show that you either love or hate. I dig on it and I'm not really into drag racing.

 

Good luck Shakey! That has to be the DUMBEST auto related show on TV in the old format.

 

Hope you get in man, keep us informed.
Love to see some pics of your car.

 

Thanks for the encouragement everyone!

My car was ALL OUT at 9.75 on Friday. But that shouldn't be a problem if they happen to pick a group of 9.70ish cars. But everyone knows there are lots of ways to cheat. But they claim sandbaggers and cheaters will be thrown out.

They will stage cars with the christmas tree but start them by the ol Hand Drop. That leaves a lot room for reaction time.

Again - it costs nothing and it's not for "pinks".... so why not give it a shot. Here some info from the website:

Race ALL OUT or go home! Bring your family and friends for a day of incredible racing. Your car has to be dialed in between 9.0 - 9.9 to play in this game! You'll be competing for $10,000 CASH. No sandbaggers allowed! Heads-Up, Run-What-Ya-Brung drag racing...

I was there to see your run last friday nite!!

Let us Phx area folks if they are going to have any spectators there.

If the runs are anything like fridays run it'll make for one fantastic show!

I think entering your car will be fun for you. That show has street racing down to the t. I also think that a 10,000 to win will bring out some bracket cars and that will be hard to compete with. Having no sandbagging in a race ,well you might as well bracket race.
Have fun and your car looked good in the vids.

 

I got my NHRA license this week so I'm all legal and ready to go for Saturday. There is a huge buzz in Phoenix and we are expecting a ton of cars to show, so chances are pretty slim of getting selected into the final 16.... but you never know.

 

I'd have to tape it if your car gets picked. I love that thing!

Good luck!

 

CONGRATS Puddin'!!!
Now go represent, kick some ***, and be SAFE!

And take LOTS of pics...ha ha ha!

 

Fellas, the Pinks "All Out" thing is a FAR CRY from the for-***les format.

And it is MUCH better.

We had an all-out event here in Texas at the Motorplex.

Basically they run hundreds of cars, and tell you to run ALL OUT all day. What they're looking for is consistency. At the end of the day, they pick a .2 ET window that has 16 of the most interesting and consistent cars in it. They let them all run for cash and prizes. No handicap, no ***les. So it really is in your best interest to run all out and HARD all day, because they don't know beforehand what the .2 ET window will be (it happened to be 10.0-10.2 at the Ennis event btw).

Good luck to ya Shakey! I'll be looking for that '55...

 

Well if you dont have nitrous on your car now and it runs 9.70's. Take and put a 100-150 shot on it and youll do 9. teens or 9.20's. Good luck my man hope you make it in!!!

 

where is the challenge in making sure everyone is running the same times. This is way too much like bracket racing. They basically throw you out if you run too fast.

What ever happened to setting a set of guidelines for a cl***, and then who ever can run the fastest wins? Taking a 8 sec car and slow it down to run exactly the same as everyone else's just doesn't make sense to me..

 

Cool...good luck!! I don't have cable but watched the All-out show over Thanksgiving weekend...was sweet to see the 1962 Ford Pickup smoke everyone in the field.
