It's hard to watch that guy. He's a tool. Some of the crap he tries to get people to agree to is astonishing. He acts like they are racing for 5 bucks when he tells them to agree, or "I'll award the cars right now". Maybe he should race his own car. I do like the "idea" behind the show though. Just think a different host may work better. While we're on the subject, they need to get rid of that *** Nathan too.

I plan on being there.
Actually I emailed the show and they do not have a planned ET range like they have done in the past like 10-second or 9-second. The plan is to look to get the closest grouping of cars so if there are a bunch of cars running close in the 12-second range then that is what they will go for.
Just a bit of a warning if you plan to attend..this is a taping for a television show and the day will be long but nonetheless, if you get on, you will have a chance for your "15-minutes of fame" and $10,000!!!

I attended a Pinks taping at Texas Motorplex, what an awesome day!! It wasn't the heads up run for cash but the Lose the Race/Lose Your Ride episode filmings!! It was a lot of fun and I will probably be seen in the crowd as the four episodes they taped will air this year. Great show, been a fan since the beginning
They have taped the run for cash PINKS All out there last year, it airs on SPEED Channel occasionally!!! I ran my SKY Turbo Redline just for fun!! It was before I got my 'Vette!!
I was running 14.0/98 mph consistently all day, not bad for a 2.0L fourbanger/auto

I dont mind Rich, he has to cut through lots of
when people come up and ask for 25 car lengths on the first run. They are on a time schedule and no one wants to sit there and watch them argue over 1 carlentgh for 30 minutes. The sandbagging is outrageous and though it may look easy to sort through the I bet it's a lot harder when you are on a time restraint. For the most part those guys are fair, it's just some of the peices of junk on there that annoy me.
