I think Pinks is bS. With the head starts they give drivers, and then at the last race they take off like a bat out of hell, and win, SUCKS!!

I couldnt believe that he dumped the bike....and then they went to a commerical. I had to stay up to see what happened next.

Does anyone actually believe that these guys lose their rides without ample compensation for appearing on the show. How many of you would just get done losing a 20 or 30K or more vehicle and just have that "oh well!!!" attitude. Don't worry, regardless of what they may say they do not meet and race someone for the first time and take a chance on losing their car for nothing.

Of course there are a few on the show that look like they would do it just for the chance to call Aunt Murtle back in Nebraska to brag about their 15 minutes of fame.....

Yes it's all too real, I am the gaffer (lighting dude) for that show and they will lose their car. Alot of contestant will pull out at the last minute because they find out that they will lose their car.
I'm about to go to Houston on Thursday for "Pinks all out" on Sat. And by the way, I never laughed so hard when he dumped that bike. I won't be able to look at him with a staight face, I'll just be thinking about that well desevered spill.

They may lose the car, never did argue that but it is not too painful except to maybe their ego. Get real!!! The show can not have much of a budget for the TV time so they can afford to buy the performers!
It is entertainment so they have to pay or they would just have junkers every week.
