Ha, people are going to hate me. But I like Bull Run more than any version of Pinks.

It'd be fun for heads up grudge matches, but for bracket racing, that'd be a nightmare. Imagine trying to run your dial with 3 opponents. LOL

I've been watching Pinks for a long time. The host has become a bitch full of drama. Acts like a fucking asshole. But the racing is very fun to watch, especially when they do 4-wide to help cut down on the amount of time.

IMO, Pinks has become nothing more than a semi-pro show. I liked it much better when it was normal, everyday Joes and Janes racing what they drive every day.

I would love to see like a mid 11-12 class go just one time.

It would be really sweet if they used 2 lanes and when one gets oiled down they can switch to the other lanes so the action can continue and we don't have to wait in line for an hour for the oil dry.

That was its original intention and I believe that is how it is run on normal race days.

Bruton Smith, who owns ZMax also owns the Vegas track. He wants to make Vegas a four lane track as well.

Yes, it is the only 4 wide track, NHRA has run the nitro cars, FC & TF, there 4 wide. It's pretty crazy. The drivers hate it as I recall. The fans love it.

Heads up great, but could see how bracket racing would make the sandbaggers a little angry; I love it :beerdrink:

Didn't even know that. I stopped watching it once there were more semi-pros than Joes.

I agree. You have to have at least a 10 second car to have a chance at being included. It's funny they don't realize the broader market doesn't own sub 11 second cars and by not including more average cars, their loosing most of their audience. For that reason, I didn't sign up last year when they were out here. I didn't want to pay $230 or so for 2 passes and no chance at being in the class chosen for the championship.

Agreed. That's why I preferred Bullrun.
