 WHAT: SPEED TV and Palm Beach International Raceway present a live taping of the popular grassroots style drag racing show, PINKS All Out.
WHERE: Palm Beach International Raceway: 17047 Beeline Highway Jupiter, FL 33476
WHEN: Friday, March 5, 2010 and Saturday, March 6, 2010
WHO: SPEED television opens its 2010 season with a return visit to Palm Beach International Raceway for a live taping of PINKS All Out, a popular grassroots drag racing show hosted by Rich Christensen. The SPEED and PINKS All Out crew last visited the facility in Feb. 2007.
ABOUT THE SHOW: PINKS All Out is a very unique television property which combines a ‘made-for-television’ grassroots drag racing competition with the sites, sounds and atmosphere of a large-scale motor sports event. Each episode – shot at 13 drag strips throughout the country from South Florida to Sonoma, Calif. for 2010 – invites up to 500 grassroots racers (door cars; 12.99 seconds and quicker) to compete for $18,000 in cash and prizes on some of the biggest drag racing stages in the United States, running ‘All Out’ on national cable television network, SPEED, and in front of a packed grandstand. Show host and creator of the original PINKS brand, Rich Christensen, sets the tone for the show through his signature ‘arm drop’ starts, edgy personality and ‘firm but fair’ approach to the competition.
The rules are simple, run your car ‘All Out.’ After two timed sessions, the PINKS All Out technical team – led by Christensen and supported by technical advisors Willie B, Clay Millican, Ken Herring and Brian Bossone – selects a group of either 16 or 32 cars are to compete for the title. The selection process is subjective in nature, focusing on a close grouping of elapsed times, great storylines, characters and interesting cars that generally make up the final field. Subsequent two-car elimination rounds set up a best two-out-of-three, ‘hot lap’ final. Racers can be eliminated from the competition if they click off elapsed times that aren’t consistent with their previous passes, thereby ‘sandbagging’ or trying to position their cars for the final field by holding back.
