    Have you been watching Pinks!?

    The first show was hilarious. LS1 vs. LT1. How about that guy asking for 13 car lengths? LOL! Dumbass!

    It's a show on the Speed channel. A challenge is made and two drivers race their cars in a best 2 out of 3 face off. Winner gets the loser's car. Basically racing for pink slips. It's a good show. I recommend watching it sometime...

    Regular air time is Wednesday @ 8:30pm...

    You liked it? I thought it was terrible. All this negotiation... why don't they just get 2 cars of equal speed and race them? One ride was set up to race the other had some bolt ons, they raced in the dark and didn't show the whole race.

    I won't pass judgement till I see the next one... which I missed... it was on last night did you catch it?

    The negotation was hilarious! My only problem is don't sandbag. Let all out there and just race...Good thing that guy one, he needed a car to drive home after blowing his engine up!

    Last night was OK, they were racing Harleys or something like that....

    I was disappointed in the show so far, guy last night lost a new 18K Harley to a 81 Suzuki bike?

    The deal needs to be set up like bracket racing, use the timing system and starting tree for crying out loud, the guy waiving he arms to start the race is just a joke. when they are on a drag strip and could easily use the lights and do it right.

    The first show was stupid with the trash talking up front and then asking for 13 lengths when push came to shove. The second show with the motorcycles was better racing but the negotiations aspect is stupid and the head shaved host is an idiot. He's the executive producer so he won't be leaving anytime soon...

    Attitudes are contagious. Mine might kill you.

    Since when did mr. clean start hosting a car show? Had to say it, the show is alright i'd have to agree the first which was in iowa, oh yes. Wasn't all that great, but last nites with the harley i thought ol' "Paulywood" was gonna cry. LOL hmmm lets think would you put a 18k bike up against a if lucky 3k bike, HELL NO! But i must say the racing was alot better.

    Just like the show "Cheaters" of which I watched a whole ONE episode. The host wants to be the star of the show, so he acts like he's hot sh*t.

    great concept though... pinks, not cheaters.
    Saw it for the first time last night before Unique Whips. My daughter and I were pullin for the harley but it just wasn't in the cards.
    Because our eyes were glued to the tube, my wife actually asked me if I'd ever race anyone for slips.
    Shoooot. Racin' is suppose to be fun, not stressful, man.
    I'm still shootin, man!

    I was glad to see the guy lose his V-Rod. He bitched about the rev limiter, the overheated clutch, wanted & got a bike length spot . . .

    The guy sold it right after the show. That's the same track that we went to after the CAIFO here in Sacramento. Kind of cool seeing the track you race at on TV. Hey Matt you up for racing for pinks? Kidding just kidding....

    The show is getting marginally better week by week, but the bald guy is really detracting from the show. I think qzking against his corvette girlfriend would make for good TV. "Let's race..."

    The show tonight was a joke, some wanabe gocart racer put his $10,000 cart up against a pro cart driver. The first race was close pro won, 2nd race was as close as you could get with the other guy winning, I think they were going 115 mph then the final race the pro motored him down the straight at 123 mph.
    Can anybody say sandbagging.....LOL....
    Yes the bald guy sucks and lets see them use the tree and try matching the cars up a little better.
