I honestly dont feel they should call it Pinks it has nothing to do with Pinks anymore. They should call it the Rich Christinson Bracket racer show. The trouble is they are about getting the show done as fast as possible its not about the racer at all. I have been there and seen the behind the seens crap for real. If they knew I was on here writing they would be very pissed at me. The thing speed tv doesnt understand is, Just because you get 100's of racer to show up does not mean the show is good. If my local track had a race for $10k hosted by the Gay lovers association they would still get 800 cars racing for $10k. Racers are racers are racers they are gonna show up no matter what they wanna freakin race. But this show needs to get better I no longer watch as many others dont anymore either and I really want something good drag race oriented to watch with real street cars and real racing all out, not this "you went a tenth faster your out !"

If you want to make changes, contact the sponsors. They get enough mail, things will change.
And Rich is still a jerk!

Rich is a Jerk-off. I agree w/9 sec goat. It is not about the racers anymore, what is is about is a steroid pumping egotistical moron who doesn't know the difference btween roll-out and break-out.All that Rich and NAPA r worried about is the show,NOT THE RACERS.Get rid of Rich, Get rid of Willie B, and turn on the christmas tree(that's the thing with the lights on it Rich) and have real racing.

GET RID OF RICH CHRISTINSON!!! HE NEEDS TO GO!!!!

Finally got to see the show from Ennis Tx. What's with this Rich guy? Banning 2 racers for running anti-freeze in their car? Yes, they did have a mechanical problem and caused a big mess, but a 2 year suspension??? It's been a while, but I have bracket raced, and worked at my local track. I have cleaned up anti-freeze and oil downs for over the quarter mile. Is anti-freeze hard to clean up? Yes. BUT YOU JUST CLEAN IT UP AND STOP ######## AT THE DRIVER, these guys broke their cars, and have to pay to fix them.
I really like drag racing, but, the one thing I hate the most, is a track official acting like Rich did during this show. This will probably be the last episode I watch.

Rich, if you read this, I would stand and look at you face to face, and man to man, and tell you to chill. I know you have a lot of planning and scheduling in the production of this show, if it is too much for you to handle without acting like you did, perhaps you need to stay behind the camera.

Double Post

A two year or life time ban from Pinks!??? Aren't we full of ourselves, Mr. Christensen. You have milked the drag cow dry.

1. A show about drag racing for pink slips. Good idea, but you screwed it up. Gone.

2. Replaced with a drag race show about amateurs trying to figure out what new rules you'll make up on the fly for $10K and a toolbox. Let's see, 400 racers show up to compete for $10K - where else can the producers cast 400 actors for $25 a piece? Get real. The prize should be at least $50,000.

3. A show about guessing drag racing E.T.s. The prize is a couple of grand and two contestants play against an expert house? What the hell, you lousy cheapskates! I don't recall Lee Iaccoca showing up on The Price is Right to guess the MSRP of a Chrysler mini van.

4. A show about high school kids building and racing....wait for it...drag cars. Do I polish the intake manifold, or go to the prom? What's more important - the football game or shimming the rear end? Why doesn't my girlfriend understand I have to stay late to paint sub frame connectors? Let's not forget to get a bunch of adults to "supervise" and a couple of semi-pro drivers to run down the 1/4. Don't forget to drag the story out over eight weeks.

Rich can always go back to his old job on Married With Children:

PINKS ALL OUT IS A JOKE!!!! I just raced at the P.O.A in Bakersfield and had to sit there and watch 4 people who previously made it into the show AT Infineon Raceway somehow make it into the show again, one of the racers had also won the event in Sonoma. Amazingly enough, all of those racers were interviewed on friday, coincidence, I think not. Secondly I thought Pinks wanted close racing, there is nothing close about the eventual winner running 10.08 in 110 degree heat going up against cars that ran no faster then 10.60 all weekend long, so much for the 3 tenths E.T window that rich and his crew proclaimed. I have lost all respect for the the scam that is PINKS!!!

To all (the few in reality) PAO haters I must say that if it bothers you so much why do you watch. Fact is these same people would complain if a million bucks fell on their head. The ones that talk all the time about Rich's tight shirts and shiny dome probably do so because of some closet feelings they are too embarassed to admit to.

Anyway, I was at the PAO bakersfield this weekend as a spectator and have a question, isnt there a rule about past driver/car combo winners not being able to participate again? George Diaz was there in the final 16 in the same chevelle he won in last year at Infineon. If im correct in my memory 4 of the final 16 were in last years Infineon field. Now with all the cars there it doesnt seem fair to pick so many from a previous show in the same area. Im pretty sure about past winners not being allowed to compete again. I would like some clarification on this.

Now as far as PARTICIPANTS complaining about PAO I can understand. But again, those trolls that constantly complain about the TV personalities and Wille whatever his name is, what would make you happy? I really like the dorks that say "get rid of the arm drop and use the tree"

HELLO, that goes on every weekend and guess what? The vast majority of fans are the RACERS and their families, get it?

I think 2 year and life bans for accidental coolant/fluid leaks is a bit harsh. I occasionally watch the show but luckily I wasn't a die hard fan of it I'd have to be nuts.

rich is so full of himself. cheering on mopars and even cheating for them.. i know the pick the cars based on how they look or what they are.. and i hate when he says 10,000 doller mistake. how its that a 10,000 mistake when theres still 8 cars in it. willie b idk where he thinks of the stuff he says.. a chevy in a mustang. wheres this guy come from they have been doing that forever.
