Question Pinks.................

The 'new' car related reality show on Speed (nascar)Channel.....................sucks -IMO

The premise is based on 'real' street drag racing where the two oponents each put their car and title up for grabs; winner take all.

The main problem on this show is the vehicles are not nearly matched in performance or actual street value. Like racing apples against oranges.

The 'negotiation' between competitors is rediculous. "I'll only spot you 7 car lengths if you don't use the nitrous"

I have done a lot of street racing in my time, cars and Harleys. And I'm not talking about the taking the family car out to the local Sat night deal.

I'm taking about barely street legal cars, sometimes with grooved slicks, exhaust cut-outs, BIG engines, BIG nitrous kits and BIG blowers. Sometimes just full-on drag cars with partial mufflers.

The "Pink Slip" race has always been about the two top dogs. The fastest in the area. This is serious stuff.

It IS about the new guy in town challenging the existing fastest car or bike by pitting his vehicle AND title to the winner. It takes BIG b*lls to even agree to race.

This show is just a Hollywood poser and disspointment. A desperate try to steal ratings from the Disco channel.
