Pinks.....?

Question

Has anyone been on the show or at a taping? Whats it really like?

Answer 1

I was at Pinks San Antonio.  I actually thought it was great.  Rigged or not, there was alot of high dollar cars and good racers.  And in "Pinks All Out" you dont lose your car, you race for money and tools.  The Pinks that you lose your car only involves two racers and their cars.  I give it two thumbs up though.  They also had the outlaw classes running in between the Pinks races.  They also had Jr. dragsters, and a rocket car.  Its not just Pinks, its like a day at the drags plus pinks to boot.  Worth the $$ in my opinion.  I'll go again if they come back this year.

Answer 2

YES !!!... well no, my friend was.she sed it was awsome. she was also on the show endurance

Answer 3

I live in Hollywood CA. Pinks is on La Brea and Santa Monica Bl.

Being an actor tapping of any show in a nightmare on set. On TV you see the phony clapping and so. There's actually what they call "Reaction shots" in the bizz. It's the filming of people laughing and clapping when when an A.D. tells them to. On set there is nobody you saw on the show just people laughing on Q, Sorry to ruen you high

Answer 4

It was very crowded and there were all kinds of people there that had no idea what a drag race was... Not very fun over rated...And some times the drivers agree just to split tools or something weeks ahead of time and whoever loses they make it look like they lost their car just for the show... so they fake it sometimes I'm not saying all the time... but in one case I was there and it was one of my family members so I know he still has the car...

Answer 5

I went to Pinks last year and Pinks 'All Out' this year at Gateway in/near St. Louis.

Nothing was rigged. It was the episode were the girl lost her Mustang after a rain delay. And 2 brothers raced. The brother that won sold the car and they gave the money to there mom for home improvements.

I don't know about other episodes but it's not rigged. The original Pinks is only legal in like 11 states.  That's why they had to do an 'All Out' at Gateway. (it's legal in MO. but Gateway lies in Madison Illinois across from the St. Louis Arch)  

It takes about 2 hours to film 1 half hour episode of Pinks.

The All Out was a blast! It completely sold out! I don't know if the NHRA actually sells out there every year!

I would go if you ever have the chance!

The 'All Out' episode hasn't aired yet...I know who wins!!!!!!LOL
