| even if i can run it i will have to debate if it would be worth it. being 1 in a sea of 450 cars in the staging lines would suck and how often do they pick a mid 12 class? never. i would love to go watch if you guys want. im sure they will have a car show or something with it too. | |

| Pinks: All Out The popularity of the original show led to a full drag meet devised by the staff, with this title in 2006. The goal is to take over 400 cars, run them in trial runs to see which 16 cars will provide the most competitive racing, then race those 16 cars against each other, all in the course of one day. The format later changed to 32 cars.
As cars prepare to compete, they are inspected by track officials and technical advisors, including former Pinks contestant turned technical advisor Brian Bossone, and cars are eliminated for problems that may lead to mechanical failure the most notable of which being fluids spilled onto the track, as that can take an hour or more to clean up so racing may resume. Starting in Season 3, automatic disqualification is called for any car that causes a leak of fluids that requires a long delay, especially in violation of track rules.
Unless situations require altering the schedule (inclement weather), the cars take part in one pass per car, using the Christmas tree. This pass uses the Pro Tree (all three ambers light at the same time, then the green four-tenths later) instead of the Standard Tree (each amber five-tenths after the other), and with the track clocks running and scoreboards displaying time.
At the end of the session, the show officials then determine the most competitive field (not necessarily the fastest) by finding a grouping of cars whose race time are very close together. Those cars are asked to return to the strip for an additional timed run to ensure there is no sandbagging. This time, the clock displays are turned off so that only Pinks officials know the elapsed time of the cars. For these runs, the "Christmas tree" is turned off, and either Rich or Kail Christensen start the run with the show's signature arm-drop start. Sixteen cars, known as the "All Out 16", are then chosen by the producers to compete in the main portion of the competition.
The cars are not formally bracketed, so the producers and technical officials may determine the race by car types, driver types, or any manner which they may choose. However the competition is generally limited to what the technical advisors decide is the "most competitive" field. In many cases they will attempt to come up with something interesting to further qualify the field, for example a slower class being allowed to earn a spot in the final 16, but in every case the idea is to find a full class of at least 16 cars in which each car is running within a tenth to 2 tenths of a second of each other.
The winner of the finals, in addition to any money bet by their opponent, also wins a $10,000 cash prize and a tool chest with tools valued at over $7,000 from NAPA Auto Parts. | |

I couldof swore it was called Pinks. that was "pinks" this is "pinks all out." they stopped making pinks because they were tired of the bullshit that went on between the drivers trying to negotiate a race. personally i think pinks all out is half the show pinks was. the negotiating and loosing your car made it way more interesting. pinks all out is a much more fun track event to go to, but it just isn't as fun to watch on T.V. | |

| There are a mess of rules, like you have to drain out all of your antifreeze. Even from the block. I've seen guys banned before. Sometimes for life and other times for 2 yrs. It would be a pain. | |

no but with the right driver its close. your somewhere between 13.2 and 14.1 in stock form, i have seen SRT's run as slow as 14.5's with bad drivers. intake, exhaust, and a tuner will get you there if you can drive it. | |

intake, exhaust, and a tuner will get you there if you can drive it. It's mostly about managing torque, with srt's, I'm finding out. Getting a good hook at the line is the whole deal. Patience with leaving the line w/o going up in smoke. The hp can get you a good et in the 12's if you can get through the first 60'. | |
