Default Pinks...anyone watch this?

I caught an episode this weekend.

Not real drag racing
Not real street racing (cause it is done on a race track) but very close to it

Not sure what to make of it just yet. Seems like another Drama based show with all that negotiation crap. Since they're at a track, why not use the tree?? Those goons heating their nitrous bottles with torches were complete idiots!!!

I'll have to see a few more episodes to make an assessment.

It sounds like it could be good.....however as was said previously all that negotiation crap etc.....Didn't get to see it this weekend, but if it has people heating tanks of NO2 with a torch it sounds more like a potential fire prevention safety film or a scene from Fire Marshall Bill with Jim Carrey.

If it had Ron Jeremy it probably is.

I can't decide whether I like it or not. The negotiation portion is very annoying to me. Anyway here is their website for more information about the show and when it airs.-O'NEAL http://www.pinks.tv/press.php

I'm not sure about that show...I thought it was funny when they got to inspect each others engines though...the Trans Am guy refused to pop up his headlights...turns out he has a 50 shot hidden under there...lol

I watched it. Seems to be ok. I wonder if it is all setup or do the guys really lose their cars....

I caught it last night & thought it was pretty lame.


They called the Camaro a "V28" in the beginning of the show.. not just verbally, but on the titling. None of the producers of the show caught that in editing?

The negotiating... well that should be left to the two car owners, the idiot in the middle need to shut his mouth They need someone on the show that knows a little about how that stuff works. Plus the spotters at the big end that work for the show cant tell the difference between 12 cars or 6.

& last there was waaay too many commmercials. It was actually about a 15 minute show.
