Jerry Springer; you know... rednecks and white trash hoes bitch slapping each other and whining about who had sex with their sister while they were already dating their cousin first.
Yeah I'd much rather watch Pinks but I don't have a TV.

That's the stupidest show I've ever seen. Same formula EVERY week. One car whips the **** outta one car. Then the next race, that guy wants like 5 or 6 car lenghts to make it fair, then he whips out the NOS and blows the doors off of the winner of the previous race. Then they whine like babies until some lame agreement is reached and then the other car whips out the NOS and blows the door off of the winner of the 2nd race. Same crap over and over.
A:
Matt, you ever see how it's done at a real street race?
Probably another good reason not to show up then, you won't see annything different!

It's funny how those contestants VOLUNTARILY enter a race, knowing the stakes and knowing they could lose, yet whine like little elementary school girls when they do. Makes you realize that the term 'adult' is a very subjective one.
God must love stupid people, he made SOOOOO many of them!
A:
I don't race, but if I ever do at a drag strip, I don't care if I'm next to a Civic or a Vette, I just want to see what time I can pull. I don't care what the car next to me gets. It's safer and cheaper to walk around with your time slip and when someone wants to race, I can just whip that out and be like "Lookie son, I done beat ya, the numbers don't lie" or something like that. I think cars should line up at the same point. If one guy has put thousands into forged pistons, a stroker crankshaft, turbo/supercharger, NOS, gearing, etc....let him whip the **** out of me if all I have is a cold air intake and an exhaust. I would deserve every last second of the beating and deserve to lose the car. If you have the balls to go up and race for pinks, you should have the balls to lose fair and square to the better man.

That's the problem, they don't have the balls---they are poor loosers!

I've got a video of a hopped up WS6 Trans Am getting slaughtered by a kid on a electric scooter. I bet THAT guy was a poor loser :)
A:
last night had two Orlando Fl drag regulars going head to head with a couple of fast cars, a 68 Camaro vs a mid 80's SS Monte Carlo. They put on a good show and the "kid" driver of 68 was down 2 races. He did not leave the line on the 3rd race and was beat. Of course he had some whiny story about a "bad start" and the other driver reluctantly agreed to rerun. The kid ended up winning the last 3 rips to finish. Of course the crowd of spectators really dug into the winning team with boos and hisses.
His Dad stepped in and let the guy keep his Monte Carlo, due to the unprofessional move made by his son.
I hope that young man carries on the torch of being a good sportsman like his old man. Don't see that much anymore.
Always remember as a parent, you are the single most powerful influence in your child's life. If you don't like what you see, check the pattern out in the mirror.

I saw the same show last night GT_McCann and I agree with you. The young driver's father seemed like a really nice guy. My only issue with the show is how they ALWAYS cut to commercial just as the cars get off the start line.

ticks us off too. Their timing to commercials suck!
I also think they could have acquired a better host. He does alright but he just doesn't fit the stereotype "dragstrip starter guy/moderator", if you know what I mean.
I think the guy should be a little overweight, have a half smoked cigarette in his mouth, a cold beer in one hand, sporting an old muscle shirt with bad asian tatoos exposed........ you know the kind of personality that would challenge some of the wussy request with a "ya gotta be kiddin me man, that's what you want?" instead of "good idea gang! now let's get this next race underway."
just my opinion, I could be wrong.

the host looks like a fruit. your right when you say he doesnt fit. hes too stiff and looks out of place. i did see the one with eh monte carlo and the camaro, that was cool of them to let that guy keep his car, it was one of the better shows imo.
i do hate the fact that niether guy is honest.. the faster car always dogs the 1st race then askes for real estate, then the 2nd race he will either spank the guy or barely lose. then he will ask for more and blow his doors off. then the other guy starts sayin.. wtf... so the other guy will spray and they will be pretty even. and then they mess with thier cars (fixin stuff or w/e) and one guy will start bitching that the other guy is changing stuf fon his car that wasnt agreed on... then they whine whine whine, and finally get down to run.. the last race is usually the only one worth watching since they are both playign games like little kids up until then.
i saw one with a jap bike vs a harley davison, the jap bike won and the guy riding it was a fat-ass. was kinda funny kuz the guy who had the harley struck me as a richy rich type guy. i love seeing the underdogs win.
that beign said, it would eb alot better if it was a straight heads up race, no headstarts no belly aching, no re-dos or nothing.. just straigh tup better man win drag raceing.
they need more hot chicks on the show for sure....
A:
haha yeah you guys are right...the host is off!

Where have you guys been? One of the early episodes ran a apir of 240Z's against each other. Never watched the show again. It hurt too much to see how ignorant they were of the cars.

You're thinking of a different show Phantom...Pinks is something completely different from that show, however the show you're thinking of sucked too.
A:
thats that show where they put the up against each other and they have to race like 24 hours later , with those evil looking twins as hosts , it wasnt that bad , i wish the did something else than old cars tho , they were all old as hell. and they only put some lame bolt-ons
