Hi,
I just wanted to tell Rich and all the crew thanks for a great event at Famoso Raceway Sept 11-12. The staff and production crew were wonderful. I was fortunate to get to the final 16! (Orange 1939 chevy coupe) And while the crew placed cameras and mics and did paper work, they were helpful, pleasant, friendly, and even playful at times. It really helped relieve some of the pressure! This event put the word FUN back into drag racing! My entire family totally enjoyed it. This was one of the greatest birthdays ( Sept 11th) I've ever enjoyed! Rich, Clay, Willie, Bryan and Ken hyped the crowd just like they used to do back in the 70s. GREAT JOB! Again thanks to Rich and the entire crew, Pullin TV and Speed TV! I can't wait for Thanksgiving Day!

Rich,
I just wanted to thank you for doing what you do and for bring drag racing back like you have. The event at US131 in Martin Mi. was one of the top three weekends of my life, right up there with the day I got married and the day my daughter was born. I could not wipe the smile off my face! Keep it up, come back to Michigan and I hope to one day get on the show!
Thanks again,
Jack
Hey Rich,
Just wanted to drop you a line a say thanks to the Pinks All Out cast & crew for an awesome experience. My son, daughter and I made the 7 hour trip from Connecticut to MIR this past weekend for our first pinks all out experience....and what an experience. I have been trying to get to an all out event as a competitor with my 70 Dodge Challenger, but like you say its like winning the lottery. I won't give up...so we decided last minute to be part of season 3 up close and personal.
So 7 hours later.....mother nature kickin our ass in the am......losing a crown filling on some barbecue.......the second cell that blew in took a metal fold-up tent and dumped it on my new truck......my daughter getting sick just before the final 16 start running, forcing an early departure for what was a 9 hour trip home !!!!!......sounds like a nightmare ?????
NOOOO Way !!!.....Despite everything we were there to HAVE FUN !!! and we did.
Rich I bought my first race car in 1979, been to many races both as racer and spectator and all pale in comparison to a pinks event. From the first 12 second car....everyone was on their feet non stop all day long, it was awesome. You and your staff are a class act putting the focus back on the grass roots racer....I believe you are the true ambassador to the sport of drag racing Rich. Keeping a simple format...."race all out and have fun"....how true. I was very very impressed. My only regret is that there is not more pinks all out events per year...can't wait till July 16.
I quit drag racing about 8 years ago...sick of NHRA....rules changes...manufacturing an artificial points chase (BOGUS)....poor tv coverage....no consideration for the little guy.. I was done !!!!!!.....but then this show pinks hits the TV...wow.....then pinks all out....even better.
So I went out bought another race car, my 2 sons bought cars.....our sole purpose is to hopefully all 3 compete on pinks all out. Thanks for keeping it real Rich and looking forward to hearing you say " Bob...stand here to my right...tell me about your car...where you from and who did bring with you"
Thanks for an awesome time and we will see you again !!!!......Bob, Josh, Erik & Lindsey
