stony Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Ok I watched tonight new episode on speed and who did I see????? Nate Prichard running a regal and some guy and an S-10.... but guess who was in his crew!!!!!!! Barney from the infamous 1quickZ episode. Is the field getting that small that they have to keep bringing back guys from past event and guys that work on the show??? If my count is right Nate has been on 2 times once with a bike and once with the regal. Just curious ... What up with that???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZDrifter Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Sounds like the show is going downhill to me....I have watched the show maybe 3 times and lost total interest...Rules are dumb...Drama Drama and crying is all I ever see...Just my opinion tho...

stony Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 About 50% of the shows I have seen there is always car wont start drama.... wonder if that’s staged. I will tell you that there is a crapload of sandbagging. I'm pretty sure they edit out the scenes that would identify it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZDrifter Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Yea, always seems that something happens to the car that would most likely keep it from racing but they patch it up and win the race. Also they do a lot of pedaling, its more stradegy then plain racing.... I think itd be better to have a all HybridZ drags, match up people with similar power to the ground and race for points, or just do it for fun, run what you brung, that would be better tv if you ask me!

hoov100 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 i remember that there was a BBC nova vs. a stroked camaro and the camaro guy said on camera "dont go to fast or they will know its an 9 second car" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZDrifter Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Also, if you have to disconnect your NOS to match up with the other car then the cars arent evenly matched. Seems like they do more of trying to make it look like a good race then racing matched cars.. and by the 5th race the faster car wins, and its usually a 9 sec car matched up with a high 10 car, 9 sec car wins first race....9 sec car takes off NOS and pedals second race and loses, 9 sec car wins 3rd race, DRAMA DRAMA YELL YELL BLAH BLAH, 9 sec car agrees to a certain length, 9 sec car loses 4th race and BLAH BLAH BLAH DRAMA yells at 10sec car saying he has been pedaling the whole time BLAH BLAH YELL ok... heads up no NOS no pedaling OR YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED!!!!! 9sec car wins fifth race cuz....hmmm ITS A 9SEC CAR!!! episode over Thank you for your sportmanship and we'll see you next time on pinks! There ya go 30 min episode in two minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S30TRBO Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 i remember that there was a BBC nova vs. a stroked camaro and the camaro guy said on camera "dont go to fast or they will know its an 9 second car" I heard on an episode once that the cars have to run 10.50 or slower. If you run faster than a 10.50 after the show you lose. Same thing with the Pinks All Out if you ran a 10.30 and are capable of running 9.0 you have to pedal and run consistant 10.30 or get kicked out. Rules were on Speeds website, now they are pulled or buried in the site.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 50% of the shows I have seen there is always car wont start drama.... wonder if that’s staged Nate had that problem, charged his battery between runs and it dies in the burn out box, MSD died no ignition equals YOU LOSE THE RACE!! Is this not common practice when hot lapping or did he have a crappy battery to begin with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.I.jonas Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Sounds like the show is going downhill to me Actually the show started at the bottom of the hill and then they started digging into the ground.Always thought it was pretty gay,between the host's douchebaggery,the rules,bad line ups and obvious stagings,i'll give it 9 thumbs down.

DavyZ Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Is the field getting that small that they have to keep bringing back guys from past event and guys that work on the show??? If my count is right Nate has been on 2 times once with a bike and once with the regal. Just curious ... What up with that???? I can think of a few possibilities: 1) deals are made ahead of time that they'll give back the other's rides after the show, regardless of who wins 2) no one likes Rich 3) every show has a lifespan; this one has expired 4) no one takes Rich seriously 5) people aren't so sure they want to possibly lose their car now that the show is common and not "new" anymore 6) everyone makes fun of Rich 7) the show is basically the same every time -- people should race for (big) money more often, not necessarily for the cars, although it might be illegal in some states to do that. Maybe they could race for children, dogs, wives, etc (make those stakes high). 8) people are hating Rich 9) People are tired of Rich 9) Rich is one dimensional 10) Rich speaks in a monotone 11) Rich needs hair (and I do too) 12) Rich Rich Rich That's my take on the show anyway.

CalifaThugz Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I don't like the show Pinks at all. I was so excited when I first saw the show come out for the first time, but after the first show I was really bored! The only episode I liked and disliked a bit was the one where the black S30 ran, and thats about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledphoot Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I have a hard time beleiving people would show up to race for the other guys car, and then be so unprepared. Dead batteries, shotty wiring and so much BS.... I don't even take my streetcar to the dragstrip without a good once over to check things out and I'm just racing for trophies and chump change... No way would I embarrass myself and my crew losing over a wiring short or an untuned car I JUST finished last night... PLEASE!!! what a bunch of crap!! And NITROUS should be settled before anyone agrees to race on the show..either with or without PERIOD!! I thought the whole idea behind Pinks was cool at first but after seeing so many whiny as so called "adults" it just got old. I like the ALL OUT shows... but I would like to see some 11-12 second guys get their chance too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly,but that is just what 90% of this countries viewers want to see,whining,bitching,sluring and oh yes an abundance of drama.If half of this "reality" tv was actual reality there would only be reasonable people watching the shows,as we all know that drastically narrows down the audience.

slownrusty Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 But what would the show be without our Garret singing "Waaalk awaaay" and of course...the classic words...."Loose The Race, loose your Ride!" Davy you are killing me BTW! Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240zV8 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 when shows like "are u smarter than a 5th grader" and "american idol" are a hit, u know theres no hope for good tv... The only shows i like are "the shield", "how it's made", "mythbusters", "survivorman" and all the animal documentaries....lol, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
