Seen that Rich Christensen is going to be at Tulsa Raceway on October 10th + 11th. Anyone planning to be there?

I will be there, if I bring the car out is anther story. I think it will be an interesting format. Its not pinks and its not pinks all out. But there will be no tv cameras to tip things.

It almost seems that he's trying to find out what the turn out would be before the t.v. cameras come.

the deal is that Rich Christensen sold his idea of pinks to the speed channel then sold the idea of pinks al out to the speed channel, so rich has no rights to either of the shows. In fact the speed channel practically owns rich. pinks is where two cars run each other for pink slips, pinks all out is 400 cars shooting for a final 16 spots (the final 16 cars that get to run on TV) to run for 10,000 bucks. It is heads up you loose you are out. But rich wanted a program that was his so he came up with this arm drop live. In order to do this and not interfere with copy right he had to change the format. This arm drop you qualify for 256 spots there is a min time to run to make the cut. when you pull up to the line rich will pull a card that shows specified elapsed time (et) you must run this time or under or you are out. Go to the Tulsa raceway park website for more information.
