Pinks is a franchise series of television programs on Speed Channel based on drag racing. The original debuted in 2005, with the spinoff Pinks: All Out following in 2006. The name of the show, and the tagline "Lose the race - lose your ride", refer to common slang of pink slips representing a vehicle's title document recording ownership, and the derivative street-racing phrase, "racing for pinks," meaning a race in which the winner earns the loser's car. (In California, until recently, the vehicle title was on a pink slip of paper.)
The series airs on the Speed Channel in the United States and Canada, and also airs on Fox Sports 3 in Australia.
Competitors compete in a drag race (although in the original Pinks, there was a stepladder shifter kart race in Series 1) in the franchise. The formats differ between the franchise's formats.
In the original series, the drag race has provisions of the winner claiming ownership of the losing vehicle.
The race format has been changed slightly...
