Anybody watch Pinks?

I just stumbled across this show on Speed. It's really addictive for some reason and I don't even know jack about cars.

I don't get the speed channel..What's so addictive?

The premise is silly... more dumbed down reality TV.

Basically two guys show up at a dragstrip with their cars and sign away the titles. Then the drivers race best 3 out of 5. Before each race they negotiate a handicap for each race (car lengths, with or without nitrous etc.). The first guy to win 3 races gets to take the other guy's car home with him.

I guess I'd have to see it.

No sillier than any of the other crap on TV.

You should travel to Bristol and drag race your car in Thunder Valley sometime. I'll be your wingman... :biggrin2:

I'm pretty sure the company I work for would frown on me racing the company car.

I agree.

Come on and live a little. We can wear helmets and everything. (Preferably the helmets must look like the ones that the Dukes of Hazzard used on occasion.) :focus:

OK, but I'm not taking the toddler booster seat out of the back of the Taurus. That thing is a pain in the butt to move around.

As long as we race a woman in an Impala station wagon, we'll be in good shape.

You would be amazed over some of the cars that people race there. I've never actually been, but late at night it's on public access channel locally on occasion and I've caught it a few times.

Some of those people have no business drag racing their chevettes.
