I heard this was a branch off from the founder of Pinks. Although the concept of this show was to run in a specific bracket, that was random to each particular race, and not go faster then it and still win. Not my type of racing.

Sorry, I thought most would have heard about the Armdrop.
It is one more of Rich's ideas and it is run like brackets with a floating dial. The first few rounds they paired us up with cars that were close on their qualifying times. So it was heads up and run it out the back for those rounds but as I went further on I kept getting slower cars.
The slower car had the advantage all day since the floating dial would be very close to their qualifying times. In the finals I got one of the slowest cars in that qualified and had to slow down well over a second for the two out three.
I just made sure I beat everyone off the line then I had more time to play at the other end.
It would have been better if it was more like Pinks All Out but it's hard to do if you don't get enough cars close enough together to do it. We had over 300 cars and I don't think they could have got 16 cars within a tenth.
I'm a little biased but I'd do it again for sure. They did have a bunch on mini races as well where they picked two cars that were close and ran them 2 ot 3 heads up for $250 to $500 plus some gifts.
Unfortunately it wasn't my turbo GN it was my SB GN.
Still a good win. Congrats.

Congrats to you.
In my opinion Racing is fun no matter what kind it is as long as it is not on the street. Even more fun when you get the opportunity to take home a nice jack pot for a win.
Will this be on Speed?

I agree 100%. No they didn't film it for TV they did say they would be putting up videos on the armdrop site. Some friends videoed it and will be posting it later this week. I'll post a link when they do.
