Did anyone make it to the Pinks All Out show in Bristol over the weekend? I was going to try and make it but, stuff happens and I did not get the chance to make it.

I watched the filming in Houston, I believe it was All OUT III. It was pretty cool. The event drew huge crowds to HRP... We all drank beer, chilled and watched whole thing.....Good times...

A little white 5.0 coupe running 10.0s beat the "napa" race car in the finals.

I didn't go, but I drove by the track Saturday morning - looked like a pretty large crowd. A friend attended on Thursday night, and estimated around 400 cars. Haven't heard anything else about it.

Is that the latest one? when you say 5.0 coupe are you talking about mustang or the '69 Z/28?

This Nova did a huge wheelie in the 1st round here I didn't get the pic off to show how high it got off the ground but yeah..




Later on in the 2nd round he did another huge wheelie chased it up and down the track till he lost it into the wall only to push the bumper in some and head light or two...

That lil Ricer / Honda Beat a Ford Lightening which was funny as hell




FREAKSHOW!!!! is back I think he was in the North Carolina show where I watched on Tv...



A pile with a nice paint job... There were umm 10 or more Rustangs that blew up all over the track or axels / wheels falling off during the event and while waiting for the clean up crew to pick up all their pieces I wondered why do they even allow Fords in the event and I guess it's for amusement purposes I guess






Two Verts dualing it out of course the C3 whooped *** as they did all day running 8's and 9's while the new ones looked like they were running slow mo

Thanks for posting the pictures! I saw the 60's black primer Ford Econoline pick-up on the Pinks All Out TV show. I wanted more info on the parts he was using for the drive train. It seems that show is getting lots of attention.

Cool pics. I wish I could have made the trip. Did the cars use the pits directly behind the stands? Were you allowed to roam like you can when the NHRA is there? Did they mention any kind of time frame of when we might see this show?

LOL!! 20 questions.

No I meant a white 5.0 Mustang coupe. He ended up in the finals against the NAPA vega station wagon. Napa being a sponsor of Pinks, everyone wanted Mustang to win. It was a true, mild street car on 10" tires, the Vega was a tube chasis race car, back halfed with big tires. The Stang went 10.04 to win it.

I am not sure which Pinks all out it was, I want to say it was the 2nd or 3rd one. It was in Houston Tx though. It was cool...I enjoyed it...but I like the regular pinks show to so....If its drag racing, I like it.

They used the pits behind the stands and the one across the parking lot, and I think I heard the announcer say you could go down there and chat with the Drivers and so on.

When the camera guy interviewed the guy standing behind me in the line to the ticket booth I heard within 2 to 2 1/2 months.

Here you go there were 3 or so C6's but they didn't impress me much ran a bit faster then the newer Camaro's think the C6's ran 10's & 11's while the Camaro's ran 11's & 12's.

All these ran 9's and 8's
