    Trikes on Pinks? (Seriously)

    I am watching sleds compete on the Speeds Channel’s show pinks right now. I know there are some fast damn big bore straight liners on here. Why not see if we can get them on Pinks? I think after Trikefest every one will have a better idea of their times and trike’s capabilities.

    Now, I do not mean to sound like one of the dreamer, no sense teenagers that are on this forum. But that show as been racing street bikes and now sleds. And some of you have some pretty damn impressive straight liners. What do you all think?

    Did you see the show where the two street drag GSXR's bought a spare bike as the pink slip? Trust me I really think you have a better chance of seeing HillBilly 4x4truck tug of Wars. I wanna see Rich put up his car already.

    Most likely the racers would come from here. So I doubt any one would lose thier ride.

    I did see the one where they guy brought in a brand new bike instead of risking his. What was that? Dosen't that defeat the purpose?

    I was thinking mostly along the lines of getting some exposure.

    I agree with LonesomeTriZ for some of you reputable guys who know how to build great tikes and want to spread the three wheeler world message of saving them this would be some great exposure. Crews could have 3wheerworld.com sponsor shirts, exc. Im sure enough of you guys have some spare parts to build some good trikes, no need to put your prized pieces on the line. Whos to say if you race with your buddy that you cant get your prized bike back later anywho. The show only cares about the fans who think that your trik got taken, we just want to see the races.

    isnt pinks the show where the give 2 teams a car / whatever and give you a cretin amount of time to juice it up and so on then race ? if so get them to get 2 250R water pumpers and go to town. most of you guys on here can make something out of nothing. hell i bet some of your guys trike will keep up with a stock car.
    down to parts because i no longer have a place to ride trikes.

    you bring your bike/car that you already built or bought in your own time and race it against someone just like you. I cant remember how many races they do but i'm thinking the best of 5 wins it all. If you win you get the other guys ride that you beat OR you can be a nice guy and give it back.

    that would be awesome, but i think we need to see quads on the show first before trikes, if they would even allow trikes because their "so dangerous". maybe something like this could happen at TF07. also, if the CPSC sees trikes on pinks, they might get stirred up and do something.

    I wonder how many of us still actually have pink slips to give away.
