Plus, why don't they use the lights to start the race or why doesn't the guy raise his arms, hold them there for a few seconds then when he drops them they take off? Too many disputes with the start, maybe they do this just to add drama to the program.

I guess they use the manual start and no-timing to make it more like real street racing, even though they're at the track:
I STILL want ETs though!!

Light trees and other electronics will never be utilized on PINKS. Reason: I don't want the computer to determine anything. The racers and the teams need to be the determining factor on PINKS. Example: at the finish line, one team may say their racer lost by 5 lengths while the other team insists that their racer only won by 2 lengths. The racers and teams must come to the negotiation spot and battle it out. If the exact times are shown at the finish line, there is no room for human error - thus, no drama and a boring show.
All competitions will be quarter mile, best 3 out of 5. No exceptions.
The track will be fully prepped on all future races on PINKS. Sorry to all the racers who almost ate the wall in season one.

Saw that one also.I was thinking the same thing.Use lights to start the race at least.I mean these guys are putting their cars on the line and they should have a more accurate start.Let that stupid host control the lights with a button and he will still have something to do.
