So I still don't have cable and I do a lot of hulu and other online TV watching...
I was watching a few episodes of pinks... Sometimes I think that show might be scripted... But anyway, I got tired of looking for something better to watch. I found a matchup that sounded cool- an 85 thunderbird vs an 80 fairmont! I was like "yes!"
Never was I so disappointed to see that BOTH of the cars had chevy motors in them. *sigh*... Wadda joke. *SPOILER* The Tbird blew a head gasket and died.
it's just proof that it takes a real man to build a fast ford powered ford.. like tim lynch lol
The bald headed host guy from Pinks always annoyed me. He's kind of a douche...lol.
+1. He actually gets annoyed when the racers try to have some fun. He wants them to be all intense for some reason.
they came to the local strip here last year, and yes its scripted sorry to spill the beans guys lol it was such a joke man. Needles to say they wont be back to this local strip anytime soon they aint welcome anymore lol.
x3.. i don't think he's too smart when it comes to cars either.. lol
What happened to make them not welcome? Just the overall gayness? Or did they abuse the staff? I noticed on a lot of episodes the cars kept blowing radiator hoses and the track team had to keep cleaning the track, and people kept talking smack about how "bad this track is" (blaming their poor driving skills on track conditions). I wouldn't want them to come back either.
yea they was bashing the track and everybody there, rich or what ever that bald headed fools name is actually go around to ppl and pay them to lose to the better cars cause it made for " Good TV ". The track manager told them to leave and never come back after they caught wind of the bribes lol.
Pinks wont be back anywhere. Its dead, thank god.
Pinks wont be back anywhere. It was killed off.
it was a good show when it first came out, i used to watch it religiously.. but you can tell it's rigged somehow and i'd much rather see 2 equal cars run heads from the tree, not a lame arm drop.. they're on a track with a tree and scoring system for god's sake.. why go back to the barbarian arm drop?
Because that bald headed dude has an ego as long as the drag strip itself and needs that camera to be focused on him every chance he can get.
This was kinda funny, since he didn't get hurt

LOL... That looked like it could have been much worse. I wonder why the heck he was riding that bike?
strickly to be hard, he is so awesome NOT!!!!!!!!!
He's from New Hampton, IA which is about 10 min north of me. In fact the pilot episode was done at the track 15 min from me in Cedar Falls, he was up here one weekend for something or other and I walked up to him and said "Hi, I like the show and what you've got going on! Its nice to meet ya man!" he looks at me all irritated and says "Piss off man."
He's a real winner.
pinks all out is pretty lame too.. the first 1 was cool, but after that, it got tiring.. and the 4 wide track? that was just retarded
I must be a good judge of character. I could just tell that guy was an arrogant jerk without even meeting him.
I would have chewed him out if he responded to me in that manner. If he didn't want people to recognize him, he shouldn't have went into that line of work.
Nah it's cool I told him his show would fail and he'd come crawling back and no one would respect a jerk.
When he first started pinks he didn't know anything about racing... it was cool when they raced for actual pink slips but then it got to commercialized and it just wasn't the same. Kinda glad that there contract didn't get renewed!
Im glad its gone too, i kinda like passtime but not really that much
I went to zmax dragway last year and watched pinks all out... it was cool to see it in person and watch some friends run there cars. Pass time is cool but it gets boaring after awhile!
i hate passtime.. tim lynch wrecked his stang on that stupid show! now he's running a god forsaken whorvette.. i am NOT a happy camper! i wanted to see the stang break it's own record and passtime fouled up that dream!
