Dodge Diesel wins on tv show "Pinks"
I brought this over from another web site:
Bully Dog Participates in the Red-Hot PINKS
“Lose Your Race, Lose Your Ride” Show
When approached by Rich Christensen, host of the television show PINKS, and asked if Bully Dog was willing to put up the title to a truck and race on his show, we didn’t hesitate to say yes. A chance to prove we walk the walk not just talk the talk. Let’s show the world our stuff! With that we built our ideal race truck and headed to Arizona.
The PINKS show racing style is like a classic 1950s drag race, two racers side by side, no green lights, just a winner and a loser. Racers must put up their vehicle titles to be on the show and will win them both if they can win three out-of-five races. PINKS controls the titles during the races and awards them on camera to the winner at the end of the competition. Once the show is over, the winner by law will own the loser’s vehicle. There are no set ups or re-takes. What ever happens is what goes into the show. Everyone must race for the title of his or her vehicle. No money deals. No tricks. Just get up to the line and race. Anything goes!
We pulled into Speed World Arizona drag strip with our 2003 Dodge Cummins, not only the first truck to race for PINKS but also the first diesel truck. The Bully Dog truck was fully loaded with the Bully Dog Triple Dog downloader, exhaust, air intake, injectors, nitrous, water methanol injection and to top it off, a dual sequential turbo kit. We came to race, but to the nature of competition we came prepared for war.
The rules are simple: two vehicles show up and the drivers along with their crew first investigate their competitor’s vehicle to see what they are up against. With that information the negotiators from each team battle it out to determine who has the advantage; they negotiate for vehicle lengths, basically who gets a head-start. Then the vehicles line up and the host of the show drops his arms in the classic street race style and the first one down the quarter mile wins. Negotiating ensues after each round, the drivers have the opportunity to renegotiate lengths, use of Nitrous, etc.
The first negotiation was brutal. Our competition knew of Bully Dog and what we did. They weren’t willing to give us any room to run. The first race started with our competition negotiating a 5 truck head start and the removal of our nitrous. End result, Bully Dog lost the first race.
Back to the starting line and 0-1 we were now in a better situation to negotiate. We knew we could have a fair race if we could run on all our power sources. It was agreed that we could replace our Nitrous and we were given a one truck length advantage. Adrenalin rushing, now our pride and reputation was on the line. We needed to win the second race to stay in the game. We won the second race but had a major set back with the truck. We acquired a hole in the radiator. If not fixed quickly we could lose the race and our truck. With little time to repair the leak we stuffed a t-shirt in the hole
The third race started heads up! It was now 1-1 and the adrenaline was pumping. Bully Dog took that race by half a truck length. Wow, what a close race. As the truck pulled around to the starting line we could see the t-shirt dragging from the radiator and the water and coolant was pouring out onto the ground. We were a bit nervous that the race was going to be called. We stuffed another t-shirt into the hole, wiped down the antifreeze from the tires and hoped for the best.
With Bully Dog leading 2-1 our competitor had the negotiation advantage and our truck was now having serious radiator problems. Bully Dog was at a disadvantage but never lost the will. It was settled that we would give our competitors a 3 ¼ truck length advantage. The last couple of races had been so close we were a bit tense on how this race was going to end. If we lost, we had one more shot at it, but were unsure whether the radiator was going to hold up and we were out of t-shirts.
Bully Dog’s competition was an experienced drag racer that had won many drag races in Texas and Oklahoma and he had one final trick up his sleeve for the 4th race. Bully Dog pulled up to the starting line and got ready to launch. With the engine racing and literally seconds from the start, Bully Dog’s competition suddenly claimed that his vehicle wasn’t ready to go. He tried unsuccessfully to overheat Bully Dog’s engine in the desert heat knowing that we had a major cooling problem.
In that race we really unleashed the dog with a 345 shot of nitrous and everything we had. We ran that quarter mile race in 11.2 seconds crossing the finish line at 124 MPH; we won the race and the competitor’s truck! A diesel really beat a gas drag racer!
The Bully Dog team really pulled together to make this happen including our sponsors. We would like to thank Mount Logan Offroad, Fass System, Lund Grafx Works, Fluidampr, Suncoast Creation, Red Line Oil, Street Scene, Stupid Wear, HTS Transmissions and BD Diesel. A special thanks to John with Fly-N-Hi Offroad and Matt with Snow Performance.
If you are interested in viewing the new PINKS episodes, the season begins February 22 nd on the Speed channel. Two shows will air Wednesday 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm EST and 12:00 am – 1:00 am EST.
