Two Florida drag racers hope to tend to unfinished business when popular SPEED television show, PINKS All Out, opens its 2010 tour with a return visit to Florida’s Palm Beach International Raceway (PBIR) on Saturday, March 6.

On one of the chilliest days in recorded South Florida weather history, the first PINKS All Out shoot at PBIR in late February of 2007 was a marathon on many levels. Multiple delays, untimely accidents and messy breakdowns added to the two longest time trial sessions in PINKS All Out history, lasting more than 10 hours and pushing the start of the final 16 to 11:00 p.m. But that was just the beginning.

 “This is an exciting time to be a part of the IHRA. We are just a few weeks away from the start of something new that will send shockwaves throughout the racing world.

In fact these changes will actually revive what IHRA drag racing is all about – providing a unique series with a flavor all its own.”
