Re: Pinks all out schedule for 2009

Get your tickets right away for the racing, or the spectating, or both?

I'll plan for the Bakersfield one, that's only two hours away.

No FL dates this year. Oh well, I still don't have the cash for a 12 bolt. Maybe by the time the next one comes around I will.

Re: Pinks all out schedule for 2009

I'm going to the Md one. As far as I know, tickets go on sale new years day. they had one there last year and it is a bit of a mess. no real "racing", but still fun to have your car on tv.

Re: Pinks all out schedule for 2009

My son and I took his car to the one they had in St. Louis in June. We had fun but I wouldn't waist the money going to another. 4 1/4 mile passes in two days isn't my cup of tea. Although we had a lot of fun, only because there was a group of us from the same race track that went down together. Seen a lot of disapointed drivers down there, after they made the cut. If you accually do get on TV, unless you're one of the 16, it's only for a moment. I hope they keep them all a long way from here, so I don't have to go again. My son likes the 1/4 mile, but I have his car setup for the 1/8, and It's a lot of work. Just keeping two cars running is a tough job.

Re: Pinks all out schedule for 2009

We'll be there, just gotta get tickets. They sold out in 2 days due to sloppy promo & no rules on how many ticket entrys one person can buy.

People here were buying several tickets, then trying to scalp them...

Re: Pinks all out schedule for 2009

Try having them never come to the midwest. They always do shows Texas, Florida, Nevada and Cali. Its getting me kind of mad. There are racers here in the midwest also!

They've done PINKS shows in the midwest.

Maybe they'll do PAO in Brainerd one of these years.

Re: Pinks all out schedule for 2009

I don't think they have done any shows that I know of with the Pinks all out. They have done 1 pinks in Iowa there first season.

And KC, and Heartland Park.

Bandimere has declared they will not allow the regular PINKS format at their facility. "Nobody is going to lose their hot rod on Thunder Mountain." PAO was a kick, though.

We got one in Ennis and Belle Rose ain't to far neither. My son and I will go and watch but I don't think we'll run, the tranny is slipping in 3rd and I don't see getting it rebuilt by TCI before the race dates.

Re: Pinks all out schedule for 2009

Went to go register for the Michigan Pinks all out and it sold out a 7:03. The damn thing sold out in 3 minutes. I was there at 7:10. Guess I have to be faster next time. Can't wait for the 2010 season though

Re: Pinks all out schedule for 2009

I've been watching the show for a little while but my older brother has been a die hard fan since day 1. I built an S10 w/a .040 over 350 back in '99 for him. He used it to work construction for a couple of years. Then it came back to me for more serious updates. Carb,cam,suspension,stall,exhaust,ect. Its still not a diehard race vehicle but he wants to do a PINKS AO show. Im just trying to get my car finished to run Orlando this year.
