NHRA and PINKS ALL OUT - Page 2

Yeah guys, I'm pretty sure that this is an Outlaw only deal with index classes as fillers. And the index classes for most Outlaw events requires smaller tires and no throttle stops except in the 4.70/5.00 index classes. Also, I believe that none of these events are going to be 1/4mile, they will be 1/8mile racing only.

1) Pinks All Out has one primary rule: Run your stuff all out. ie., 1000'ers would be DQ'd.

2) Run Class Eliminations at "NHRA Unleashed" events. 'Nuff said.

I already have a spreadsheet on how you could combine a large number of classes based on similar indexes. Close racing, wheelstands, etc.... "Event in a box." It's not all *that* hard.... it's always been about presentation. Pullin knows presentation. If only NHRA would let them produce their National event shows!

I made the 32 car field at the Martin MI. Pinks All Out, believe me they had their fair share of sandbaggers. They picked a field of cars between 10.35-10.50. I ran three 10.36's, so on paper I was one of the quicker cars. In reality, I was probably around the middle of the pack. They pick alot of low to mid 10 second fields so lots of guys slow their cars down,thinking thats what they will pick. A guy pitted next to me was running 10.40's on Fri. and Sat. during qualifying, got booted 2nd round of eliminations for going too quick. He was told he ran a 9.94!

PINKS All Out concept is a passing fad, but the PINKS guys are the innovators here and continually come up with new ideas. NHRA on the other hand only react to market conditions and cashes in on ideas these days. The worst thing is letting NHRA in on this.

These guys had the golden opportunity to beat Glendora at their own game. Now it's only a matter of time before they screw it up.

Note the difference in format:

Pinks All Out - race for $10,000 cash + $7000 value tool chest from Napa

Add NHRA to the mix:

Race for the "Coveted Wally"

Where did the cash & prizes go......oh wait I know where...
