oooh, he makes all the rules....
.
In our efforts to match racers as fair and equally as possible, Nate Pritchett and Charles Hendrickson, both former racers on PINKS will be joining the show as technical advisors. These two know a lot about racing and are experts on all technical aspects of cars and bikes. They make the matching of cars and drivers incredibly easy. Things do change on race day. Cars break but we will always do our best to be fair.
Due to overwhelming popular demand, we will shoot mostly car episodes, unless a bike race comes along that we just can't ignore.
The show will remain a half-hour in length.
You WILL see imports.
You will see new racers and cars on every episode.
No draws. We will race until there is a winner.
Racers MUST put up their titles to be on the show. PINKS will control the titles and award them ON CAMERA to the winner at the end of the competition. Once the show is over, the owner of the titles can do whatever he wants - meaning: the winner on PINKS, by law, will own the loser's vehicle. If the winner keeps, sells, or gives back the vehicle - that is the title owner's prerogative.
PINKS will hold casting sessions. So many racers have applied to be on PINKS that we must now cast for spots. If you get a call, make sure you show up at the casting session so we can meet you. There will be no racing at the casting session. We just want to get to know you and see or hear about your car. Racers will not know who they are racing until they arrive at the track the day of the shoot. Communication between racers will ONLY go through PINKS.
Racers will have no direct communication between one another. The problem: racers are pretending to have a grudge just to get on the show. (We have heard and seen every scam so don't try to fool us.)
Racers must accept the matches determined by PINKS. Note: cars will be matched based on value and speed - meaning: 10-second cars worth 8K will race 10-second cars worth 8K, 13-second cars worth 50K will race 13-second cars worth 50K, etc.
Racers cannot back out of a race because they "don't like" the other vehicle.
When the shows air, the subtitle font will be easier to read.
More cameras will be added to the shoots. Viewers will finally get to see the overhead shot of the cars before they race.
The arm drop start stays and will be strictly enforced. My arms will raise and hold at the top. The first motion of my arms coming down is GO TIME.
Light trees and other electronics will never be utilized on PINKS. Reason: I don't want the computer to determine anything. The racers and the teams need to be the determining factor on PINKS. Example: at the finish line, one team may say their racer lost by 5 lengths while the other team insists that their racer only won by 2 lengths. The racers and teams must come to the negotiation spot and battle it out. If the exact times are shown at the finish line, there is no room for human error - thus, no drama and a boring show.
All competitions will be quarter mile, best 3 out of 5. No exceptions.
The track will be fully prepped on all future races on PINKS. Sorry to all the racers who almost ate the wall in season one.
We will be traveling all over the country to shoot episodes.
Merchandise is coming.
Look for extra, never-before-seen footage of PINKS on the PINKS website.
Fans are welcome to come to the shoots. But you must stay off the track and staging area. Only racers and crews are allowed on the track.
As we make more changes, I'll be sure to let you know.
Thanks for watching.

Executive Producer
