NHRA and PINKS ALL OUT

chris3racing · 01-07-2010, 04:13 PM

The NHRA Unleashed program is, as you stated, all NHRA tracks. The Pinks All Out Schedule this year is NHRA and IHRA tracks. And, as mentioned, I hope NHRA, and there wisdom $$$$, don't mess this up.

The other and probably the biggest question is "how much control is NHRA going to let these guys have to run the event?".....PINKS if they feel they have an issue to deal with they deal with it at the current event while it is in progress or change the rules for the next event....an example was one track that they found out a whole bunch of competitors were sandbagging...they stopped the show and dug up $500.00 for a bonus to the quickest pass during qualifying, there were a whole contingent of racers who magically went a LOT quicker.....

NHRA can take years to deal with some issues, being quick to "stay with the times" would be a HUGE advantage in the market for racers and fans to show up.....

From NHRA'S site...
"interactive events, including Kart Track and Autocross activities; and the traditional car show"

I entered the Pinks All Out for $60.00 at PBIR in March knowing that it will be either expensive time runs or maybe win $17K. What's the difference with a NHRA points race, expensive time runs, can only win $1k and It's $170.00 to enter. I think that the Pinks is a better bang for the buck. I'll chance $60 to win $17k every weekend if I could. NHRA didn't have any events like it, but now that they are in it, you watch and see that the purses dwindle down to nothing in a year or 2.

Looks like this is an addition to the NHRA/ORSCA deal from a couple months ago. The 4 dates and locations are the same. Maybe NHRA has added the Pullin crew to run it. If you google NHRA ORSCA you can read about that deal. Not likely a Pinks format. More likely the ORSCA format. Or is ORSCA out now?

Coincidence that the 4 events are being contested at NHRA owned tracks? Me thinks NHRA sees an opportunity for them to make lots of $$$, and keep it all for themselves.
