Pinks!- Now Testicle Free!
« on: March 23, 2006 - 08:29:41 AM »
ok, I know that posts have been made about the show Pinks!, but I've been trying to watch it lately, and all it is is a couple of whiners!  Instead of a proper 'run whutcha brung - heads up' race, these wussies bicker for car-lengths, using/not using nitrous, accusations of 'sandbagging'...yunno, if you don't think you can win, bring a different car!!  And what's with building the car the week before?  Maybe a bit of sentimentality as incentive?  If the show wanted to be a proper show, it would be heads-up, you brought it, you run it, no whining, if you can't afford to lose it, don't line up! 

I just watched two guys fighting over 7 car lenghts, vs. 6.5 lengths...WHAT!??  Why are they even getting lengths??  We don't give lengths on the street!!  Wussies!!

They should go to a track with a real X-mas tree, have an open invite, you gotta drive'm in.  Hopefully 20 or so will show up, then you nose around, figure out who you can beat and start pairing up.  Head's up only, run them the way you drove them in.  You win, you go home with 2 cars.  You lose, call a buddy to come get ya !  You whine, everybody gets to beat the crap outta you.

I like to watch to see how NOT to be a wuss.  Plenty of examples on how to BE a wuss on that show.

Except for this one guy, I don't remember his name.  Stocky, blue wifebeater, kind of had a lisp, buzz cut.  He's gonna race some tall skinny guy who has the bottle hidden inside his headlight bucket or some crap.  Other guy is trying to give him lengths so that he can run spray, and lisp-guy will NOT take the lengths.

He will NOT take 'em!  He says, "We don't give lengths on the street.  No way.  Run what ya brung, heads up, or go home."

And the skinny guy beat him!  But lisp-guy was by far the coolest guy in the history of the show.  No bull, no excuses, he said, "I run what I brung, and I got beat.  I didn't ask for lengths, I won't take lengths, and I don't spray.  I run on motor only, and if you beat me, then you beat me."

Finally, someone who might actually be old-school, not a ricer who just happens to be drive American cars.  Because, you know, rice isn't just about the hood ornament or FWD.  Plenty of those fools on Pinks, even though they drive Stangs or Birds, have rice in their veins, not Sunoco. 

Spray = ricer.
Lengths = ricer.
Excuses =ricer.

IMHO.

cudacharlie,

That the one with the Nova against the 64 Vette rocketship ?  Yeah, the guy with the Nova lost, yeah, he wouldn't take lengths, yeah, I'd buy him a beer.

So you guys would race a car you know is faster than yours for pink slips without taking lenghts?I doubt it.Ever watch bracket racing at a sactioned dragsrtip?Guess what,the slower car gets a head start.Good reaction times and consistency win races and even the pros sandbag sometimes.I agree there is a lot of bull crap but it beats watching Tuner Transformation or Texas head-up-thier-tails!  :roflsmiley:

 People sure talk a lot of $hit about the "Pinks" show.......
 The show isn't about THE fastest car in Amercia.

 Besides, If you are so buck and a great racer - Tell us when you are scheduled to race on the show....[ you all know who you are]

 Personnally I like deciding what I think is a fair # of lengths and if it plays out in their race or not.

A good racer wouldnt bother with that show, They would take their car to the strip and race it fair and square without smack talking, arguing over lengths or hiding bottles.

 How many "good racers " have you seen actually lose their car at the dragstrip ?

 I've been to local strips, and others outside the state, probably 100 times, if not more - AND I'VE NEVER SEEN IT...

 it's a lot different when you are running for a $3 trophy or a  $250 pot for winning your class.

Pinks style racing with lengths= bulls**t
Bracket racing running on time, no nitros = :clapping: :woohoo:
Iv'e raced on the street many times in my earlier days, never asked for a length or given one.
