New 'reality show' Pinks - Best 2 of 3 runs down the track takes the losers car...

http://racingjunk.com/pinks.jsp

This is a new 'reality show' coming to the speed channel. Best of 3 races and the winner takes the losers car. Go ahead to that site and check it out, you can even watch a video of the first episode.

Who in their right mind would risk losing their car over something so silly? It's crazy. I thought the whole idea of racing was to have fun, and heck, maybe win a little money if you get competitive with it. But still, the point is to have fun. I don't get it. I kinda doubt they will come up with enough people that stupid, but the more I think about it the more I think they will find enough morons willing to lose their cars.

The filmed an episode at LACR where the 2 guys were both *novices* etc... cars were either fireturds or trams ams..

One guy gets his ass handed to him &amp; looses his car...

but....

The other guy was a ringer, he's been racing at LACR for 20 years &amp; specalizes in fireturds/trams am's...... Yeah, now thats an equal playing field.. wonder whats gonna happen when the looser finds out he was screwed before the cameras even arrived?[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

My fireturd will beat your ride..... but anyway....

" PINKS will match cars with others in the same class and the contestants will negotiate handicaps. After the first heat contestants renegotiate to adjust for the cars' speed variable. "


those rules are boring and take all the "racing" out of the show... all thats left is who guessed best... I may as well flip a coin and call it a day so I dont waste 30 minutes of my life watching the show.

The episode they had when I visited just now was a 29 model A hotrod vs. an old pontiac. Neither one looked slow.

I honestly feel exactly the same way. BUT! I will watch just to see these guys do something that to me is very stupid. Why not call it "Street racing on the track!" I'll give you 3-Yeah 3! car lengths becasue you have a broken axle. That guy with the blue hat was a tool. I would of opt'ed for 1/2 track or nothing. But he is'nt me... But I still have my car.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]
