Pinks 100% - NHRA Races 0%
 

Hi all,

Spent some time this weekend watching Pinks and couldn't help but notice that the stands were packed with spectators at almost every event they showed. I'm talking about Pinks All out not the race where you can loose your car.

We have a Divisional Race and maybe we have 4-500 outstanding cars show up and we get like maybe 3 spectators to watch. Why? What is Pinks doing different to attract that many spectators?

I would think that if we got only half to show up that it would be a boost to everyone and everything involved including purse money.

Any thoughts or ideas that we can pass on?

Regards,

yea....self explanitory.....cut out the throttle stops.

Re: Pinks 100% - NHRA Races 0%
 

I don't think it's just that, Look at all the Classes at a divisional that don't run stops.

For a chance at 10,000$ you can run all out !

For a chance at 800.$ you run the T/stops...............

At div races your sure you'll get to race..

How much does it cost a spectator to enter the pits at a Pinks All Out race?

Re: Pinks 100% - NHRA Races 0%
 

At St. Louis last year it was $30.00 for the event pass.

At Englishtown this year the entry fee for Pinks all Out was 0 and you also got a free T-Shirt, there was a small fee for Test & Tune on Friday.

Bob,

That effects us with cars, It still doesn't account for the appeal to the spectators.

Never been to one of their events, but don't they bring in a show like jets or pro mods? Their races seem to have the feel of a Saturday nite street race, pretty cool.

Its called PROMOTION!!!!!!!
Its all heads up and who gets there first.
NO STOPS NO SANDBAG DIALS
Its only 16 CARS and not all DRAGSTERS in classes.
IT LOOKS LIKE A STREET RACE.
HYPE and PROMOTION
