OK, take this for what it's worth. It's my own personal experience with Rich and Pinks All Out. Pinks All out came to our track (The Strip in Las Vegas,NV.) in the fall of 2007. I too felt the same way as most about the Host and even about the show. I'll get straight to the point, I made the show and lost in the 1st round.
My opinion did change about Rich & the show. It was one of the best organized races I have attended, but still wasn't convinced about Rich. Until he gave us a little background on why he was doing this. Of course the 1st thing is to make money, but he didn't say that. He truly is trying to help out the sportman & street racers get a good payout & tv publicity. Now, would I travel for the event, no! The odds of you getting pick is slim to none for a 16 car field out of +400 cars. I got lucky to get picked.
I think his new Arm Drop program further proves his comittment to the racers. Big money, but no tv. The 1st race is or was in FL. and advertized ATVs to race also. It's also coming to Vegas in the fall and I will try and race the event. Bryan
