TV Show "Pinks"
 

What do you guys think of that TV Show Pinks on the Speed Channel? I have only watched it a few times. A friend of mine told me that this summer the show is coming to Summit Motorsports Park, formerly Norwalk Raceway Park, here in Ohio. I guess it takes some big "kahunas" to put up your car title in a race....

It truly seems like they gather all the sh.. talking, white trash that they can find, and let them obviously sandbag their cars, and negotiate ridiculous deals for the next race. It has been awhile since I watched it, and was told they do it differently, but I still won't watch it. Then again, it is only my opinion.

The Pinks All Out is a way better format...way more interesting to watch

Re: TV Show "Pinks"
 

Heck, I can't rule out all the crap...you need something to watch. I've had to resort to the Food Network on an ocassion and watch Alton Brown, Diners, Drive-ins & Dives and Unwrapped. It's slim pickin's for a MAWG. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/ooo.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif

Am I the only one?

yep lots better watching

Re: TV Show "Pinks"
 

I agree, Pinks all out is watchable. Not much else on Speed channel is though.

Re: TV Show "Pinks"
 

Would it be so hard to sometimes show an 1/8th or 1/4 mile time?

Re: TV Show "Pinks"
 

My favorite episode was the two brothers competing. Those were some serious cars (read wheelstanding) with an 01 SS Camaro and 68 firebird. No real trash talking, cars that were close with a good finish. I always had my doubts if trully the brother was going to lose the car, but I saw it for sale on ebay shortly after the episode. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

I never thought I would be able to come out of the closet ! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif
If it weren't for the Food Channel I don't think I would make it thru the winter.
Dinner's and Dives is my current favorite, Wouldn't you like to try some of that artery clooging crap he samples on the show ??
Pinks....Way to much sandbaging and https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif. But I still watch sometime. I wonder if the loosers are in some way compensated for there car's ?

Re: TV Show "Pinks"
 

Pinks all-out is watchable, since it's more of a bracket racing format. If you like junkyard Rustangs or S-10 pickups that have been given a cheap paint job and a used motor that might or might not make it through 5 passes, then the original Pink's might be better.
As with everything that's on TV, it's all about the money.
Without the trash talking and the sandbagging, it would be even more boring, since they repeat every show at least a dozen times before shooting new shows. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Every time that Rich guy starts them with his arm drop, his face gets all scrunched up like he is taking a dump, and the turd is stuck.

Best episode ever. It'd be great to see a rematch with those two drivers.

My thoughts exactly , my daughter said to me one night "They shouldnt calls this show Pinks they should call it punks"

Re: TV Show "Pinks"
 

It's gotten to where the Pinks people will call a speed shop to ask them to build a car for the show. It seems that half the time the guys say that they built the car in the last couple weeks. One of the cars usually breaks before the show is over. The show started out ok but lately, I can't stand to watch it. If it weren't for Pinks All Out, I wouldn't watch it at all.

Re: TV Show "Pinks"
 

I'm not crazy about the show but at least it's saved me from watching Spongebob Squarepants every morning; my 2yr old son has decided he likes to watch "race cars" before he heads off to daycare.

Re: TV Show "Pinks"
 

Ah yes. A die hard to be.

There isn't anything wrong with Spongebob Squarepants... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: TV Show "Pinks"
 

The best show, in my opinion, was when Rich jumped on that Superbike and busted his azz. Unbelievable video.

Re: TV Show "Pinks"
 

I watched it all the time when it first came out..on my TIVO. This allows me to fast foward through all the crap. The one episode that was top notch was the one between a orange Nova from Conn. and a white 70-73 Camaro from Texas. It was a classic case of a High Dollar car being taken down by a lower dollar car tuned on the razors edge.

WHY does this Knucle head do this and not use the lights
I just wateing for some one to come off sideways and take him out
And yea If I was on pinks and won I would just give the losser his title back To me it about wining and not stealing some poor guys dream
It think the whole thing is a stupit

Re: TV Show "Pinks"
 

Pinks all out is a great format, I went to the filming of All in Rockingham and Bristol, and the guys were sandbagging real bad in the first round at Bristol, met Rich and his entire crew, cool guys! The episode between brothers was the best, they had those cars set up perfect for the 1/4, like when the one brother(firebird) wanted 2 lengths but wanted the camaro set back behind the start line 2 lengths, he knew the camaro would be nosing over and he would be right in the max power range, and he was shifting the firebird, that was the best regular episode. I think they need to have a pinks all out using only stock factory/dealer built supercars, Hemi cudas,69 1/2 440-6 roadrunners,L88 vettes, yenkos, Motion cars, Cobra jet and Boss mustangs, now that would be a very interesting pinks all out.

Re: TV Show "Pinks"
 

Most of the normal episodes are a joke. The brothers racing each other was a good episode. I thought the Pinks All Out in Houston was a great show to watch. Those cars were all so closely matched and there was no sandbagging.

Re: TV Show "Pinks"
 

The funny thing about All Out is they keep saying the want a show of 7 to 8 second cars. How does rich expect those cars to HOT LAP???
