I was one of the lucky 400 to get purchase my entry back when they were first made available in Feb or whenever that was. Feels like forever ago now. That race is on my birthday weekend too so I'm really hoping that I can make it into the show.

I didn't know that you could buy your entry. I thought you had to earn it.

No, with all Pinks shows they sell 400 entries and you have to purchase them online. Somehow though, the financial genius that Royce Miller is, he found a way to make even more money off of Pinks and hold separate races to give out an additional (correct me if I'm wrong) 80 entries. The MIR website crashed when the entries went on sale as they had about 15000 simultaneous hits to purchase entries.

Wow. I had no idea how big the show was. I've never actually watched it. I'll be looking for it online tonight.

Yeah, they have to do it this way or else you'd end up with thousands of cars competing for 16 spots. From the 480 entries they sold off, they will pick a group of 16 cars that run similar E.T.'s to run single elimination to determine the winner.

I was there vying for a spot, saw that "roundy round car" and was thinking to myself, what the hell is he doing over here?? Congrats to him.
I missed getting a golden ticket by .003 seconds.. Had fun though, lotta fast cars there.

Sorry you missed out. His car turned a few heads and definitely had people talking. When he first told me what he was going to do with the car I laughed. I asked ummmmm why. He said "cuz I can". He's also raced a snow mobile and a dune buggy there. :lol:

I believe the original entry was $65, but like I said yesterday, I barely remember because its been so long ago.

And sockgirl77, are you sure that they're all filled? I thought there was going to be 2 of those second chance races.

EDIT: Nevermind, you're right, just looked at the schedule and that was the only one.

I don't know. Since it was just to get in to the real Pinks All Out, if may not have gotten much coverage. These were all from the actual Pinks All Out.
