PINKS All Out - Four Wide, Side By Side!

In PINKS All Out, each of the eight finalists received $1,000. Five hundred dollar bets made against each other in the subsequent rounds determined how much money they would ultimately take home. Seen shaking hands just before the final round, runner up Russell Boyce (left) and winner Buster D'Amato have since gotten offers to increase their earnings by match racing at area tracks.

Don Main of South Point, Ohio, turned a lot of heads with this 468-powered '68 Impala SS street car. "I've been watching this show since it first came out," he said. "I've never done this before and I just wanted to come out and have some fun. It's different, and it's really done something for the sport."

Larry Pierce and his buddies rushed to complete this 421 small-block-powered '72 Chevy C-10 pickup just before the race in honor of another friend who passed away. "PINKS has brought a lot of attention back to drag racing. It's also got more people off of the street and onto the track. That's why I think they're so many people here. This is the ultimate dragstrip."

Darrell Cox (left) and driver Damien Carter represented the domestic sport compact crowd with this 10-second twin-turbo, 2.4L-powered '02 Dodge Neon SRT-4. "We're here to encourage the grassroots racers to come out. It doesn't matter what you have. If you have a car you want to run, PINKS is a series where you can come with your family and friends and participate."

Dewey McCaskill and his wife celebrated his 70th birthday while en route from their home in Colorado to zMAX Dragway to race their 10-second '57 Chevy. "PINKS is probably the best thing that's come out for people who just want to race," he said. "You bring what you want to run without the hassle of having to run against high-dollar cars."
