Oracle of DelphiPINKS - Racers Race for Pink Slips
June 18th 2006 23:15
Remeber back to the first Fast and the Furious installment, where "racing for slips" was all the rage. PINKS extends this idea further and capitalises on our thirst for seeing someone suffer and lose their car! (Aren't we just so evil!!)
I have been watching PINKS all weekend! Its totally addictive and entertaining! The idea behind PINKS is this. The show invites racers to compete head to head down the drag strip. At the start of the show, they both officially sign ownership of their car to the show. The show then awards the winner at the end of the day both cars.
The races are first to 3 wins. Now, they understand that all cars are different and this is what makes the show interesting. Before each drag race, each of the owners/drivers/teams can negotiate to what they think is fair. Negotiation includes unhooking the nitrous bottle or giving the other person a headstart measure in carlengths and so on. It gets pretty heated as the viewer gets to see the raw emotion of seeing a racer lose their car in a drag race.
You can view various PINKS episodes by searching for them on Google videos.
