"PINKS" host Rich Christensen, center, facilitates negotiations between Kling Motorsports driver Darrin Kling, left, negotiator Larry Strickland, second from left, and members of Team HybridZ, not pictured, ...

this was the worst episode ever. The fat turd in the monte carlo was nothing but a lying ass, not even worth watching. instead of keeping it fair and running close races and making it fair, they lied and messed up on their first two runs. 1st run 150 shot and heads up win by a 1/2 a car. Then all motor and stomp them by 4 heads up. This Darrin Kling guy needs to sell his car get some lipo and continue humping his cousin he is worthless. The staff of pinks should wake up and call out the sandbaggers. a blind guy listening could have noticed the ridiculous sandbagging. gay as hell.

Was a huge fan of the show, but that poor kid on that last episode was railroaded and bullied by both Rich and all those idiots at Kling Motorsports. I had a sick feeling after watching. Those poor kids were definatly outgunned, but they were outright bullied out of there car. The last race should have been no bottle and 3 or 4 lengths. Darrin Kling's word is worthless!

I know many motorsports reporters and tuners in Kling's area, and I sponsor a lot of drivers out there with my apparel. I will make sure the Kling business finds it rough and hopefully sinks. This episode was the most outright display of dishonesty ever. I hope the Datsun kids got some type of compensation out of appearing, whether in marketing or something because that Z was worth way more than that Monte Carlo. Kling is not a man by any stretch of the imagination, and I will voice this to Rich Christensen and his production company. Rich Christensen gave that car away, and nobody can debate this.
All of the runs INCLUDING the one where the Z bogged showed that the Z driver was consistently putting it down. How does the first heads up race end with the Monte Carlo winning by half a car, yet the last race with the Z car at +4.5 lengths end up with the Monte Carlo winning by 6.5??? That means that a 180 shot of Nitrous will gain you at least 10 car lengths!!! Man, I want that nitrous for my drivers! Even the PINKS tech looked disappointed at the outcome... nobody ever takes him seriously and he is about the only one that points out the sandbaggers.
In all honesty, they need a camera on the pedals and shifters shown on the same screen. Video should be reviewed for negotiations. I'm tired of seeing 10-second cars running at 13 seconds to just barely win a race. Where I come from, pink slip races always happen heads up and with cars usually finishing within 2 carlengths or less from each other. I am disappointed beyond belief, I wish I could swap that program out with another in that time slot as my TV time is worth more. I'll now dedicate that hour to writing Rich and Kling continuous letters of no confidence :)

Just saw this Pinks episode on Speed. Like one of the previous posters, I feel sick having watched that jackass lie and bully his way to a win. Worst episode ... ever.

WOO HOO FOR THE WINNER!!! BEST EPISODE EVER!!!! I LOVE LARRY STRICKLAND!!

[squatch]

Just watched the episode. Made me sick! The arrogance of those rednecks! Bottle? BS! Rich, you should be ashamed of yourself!

[daddydennis]

WHAT does Nate have on RICH????????? come on Rich at the very least act like your neutral!! A move is a move!!!I have seen a lot of guys lose their ride for a lot less movement!! Loading the shocks don't move the wheels!!!!!! ARE you in charge Rich?? Then how can crybaby Nate make a choice to accept a draw???? Be a man Rich! OR ADMIT that Nate is YOUR BOY!!!!!!!!!!

[Rik from VA]

I completely agree with Trevor in MI. That fat red neck needs a foot in his @$$. I wonder if Rich ever reads these post. He really should. Rich your pissing your fans off. We love your show but that's a bunch of BS. That is the 2nd time in two weeks that I saw some fat pig acting like a bully. The other was with the elephant "Cheif" that was negotiation for the black mustang with the flames on it. Chief and King should get a room at the Red Roof Inn and try to work some of their gay fatness off each other. I maybe if I were that fat and that ugly I might be an dick head too?

[Lisa from Alabama]

I agree 100%! This episode sucked. It was not like PINKS advertises to be. Kling said bottle or no race they should have lost their car right then. Kling should be ashamed, and I hope no one ever supports them ever again. They deserve to go belly up after the poor sportsmanship they showed on the show and all the crying they did was crazy! I feel pinks will loose alot of their followers if they continue to let big money push people around like that.

all you f'n cry babys!!. for any of you who have REALLY street raced i think kling showed how its done in the real world. before you start knocking down someone for doing nothing more than playing his game as best as he could how about finding out all the facts!. you probably don't know that pinks decided not to let kling race his car that was supposed to be on the show so he burned the midnight oil & built a SLOWER car at the last minute. come down south to where the MEN race!!!
