So the SPEED channels tv series Pinks! All Out will be shot at Gateway International Raceway on June 28th according to http://www.speedtv.com/features/1253/
Still no info if you can come watch the even off the stands though. I guess I could call GIR and find out.

well, judging from this little piece from the press release, this will most likely be a public event:
"“Ever since the first PINKS All Out at the Texas Motorplex during Labor Day weekend in 2006, we have seen an astounding increase in spectator attendance at these shoots,” Nickell continued. “For 2008, we wanted PINKS competitors, fans and sponsors to have an opportunity to mark their calendars early. Next year’s schedule will once again introduce PINKS to an ever-widening audience, pinpointing unique marketplaces and exposing new fans.”

For each shoot in 2008, PINKS All Out will invite up to 450 grass roots drag racers to qualify for a shot at the final PINKS All Out 16, where competitors race for the lion’s share of an $18,000 overall purse ($10,000 to win) and a new NAPA tool chest. Hosted by creator and executive producer Rich Christensen and produced by Pullin Television out of Los Angeles, the television show rigors its on-air technical advisors (brothers Nate and Adam Pritchett) to select a field of 16 cars based upon a subjective elapsed-time grouping determined through two time-trial sessions. Prior to each Saturday shoot, racers will have the opportunity pre-register their race cars and take part in a Friday test n’ tune.

The PINKS All Out at-track experience offers a variety of exhibitions and competitions, providing on-track activities throughout the Saturday shoot. In addition, a midway area provides local vendors, manufacturers, supporters and local groups to elevate its involvement and showcase their wares or talents, offering a variety of entertainment reminiscent of a ‘county fair.’ "

As Deetz found out from my other posts, PINKS! has not yet signed their contract with Gateway although it's expected to be signed soon.
