Pinks ( More Cooked Rice )

[Pistol Gripper]

Watched Pinks again last week, another ricer vs. RWD domestic.  As expected,  ricer boy wanted 15 lengths first race.  What's with these twits ?  After the laughter subsided and the domestic whomped the Honda 2 races in a row, the Honda got 14 lengths.  I'm suprised the Domestic could even see the guy drop his hands.  Anyway, the Honda never even moved, broke an axle.  You'd think they'd figure out you don't need nitrous to go to the grocery.

I thought that was funny when the guy with the Honda said I need 15 cars, and dude with the Mustang says no way!! But I'll give you 14...lol

That's awesome, I'm sorry I missed that one, I'll have to look for it on Speed. Seriously, if you are going to challenge someone to pinks at least have a car that can run somewhat close to that of your competitor. You just get laughed at if you ask for lengths, especially lengths of more than say 5 cars. When will these ricers learn?

i've never seen the show and am a little confused. The car lengths that yoru referring to, that means that the faster car will start 15 car lengths behind the start line to make up for racing a slow pos?

I can't remember who posted this first, but I agree with this statement:  "Run what ya brung, and hope you brung enough."   If you need a bunch of car lengths, you didn't bring enough.....................   Oldschool

Yup a full raced out Honda civic, gutted interior, roll cage, turbo with NOS. Got BLOWN away by a street Mustang with a Chevy crate motor and NOS.
The best part about it was the guy with the Mustang was just sand baggin his car to make like it was bearly faster than the Honda.

If ya check, that was me.  I stand by my statement

[Carlwalski]

Wouldn't mind seeing that show....maybe they'll throw it on Discovery some day soon.....

Honda's (IMO) are the bottom of the barrel, yuck, I'd never own one, ever.
Nissan's get respect though. Nissan Skylines R32 are the only Jappa I'd own, but I'd never buy one.

I watched it the other night and couldn't believe it!!!  : seemed like a bunch of men whining!!!! I agree "Run what Ya brung"!!!!!!! Why agree to race something and then make them alter it!! The one I watched they made the guy take off his NOS set up! AND give the other guy 5 lenghts??? what is up with that??? Are these men or boys? It was CRAZY!!!!!  I want to watch OLD FASHIONED RACING!! RACE WHAT YOU CAME WITH!!! RIGHT?

68A,

When you get spotted "lengths" they move your car ahead of the start line.  15 lengths is dang near half way to the finish line.

My Rules for Pinks

1. Run what you brung heads up.  No lengths, and no negotiating use/don't use nitrous

2. Cars must be limited to no more than a 12 second quarter mile car, to avoid going over-the-top with power

3. Track/show officials get one run down the track to ensure the cars conform with regulations

4. Use a 'tree'.  No arm-dropping.  This isn't a freakin Paula Abdul/Keanu Reeves video!

5. Use a 'board' so the rest of us can see the ET's and speed.  This will also help with 'photo finishes'

6. cars are street driven, street legal and DMV registered

7.  Whiners walk home!
