PINKS was a popular reality show that aired on SPEED from 2005 to 2008. The show revolved around high-stakes drag racing competitions where drivers bet their cars, and the winner took home both vehicles. Joey Paul Gowdy was the star of the show and served as the host and mediator of the races. He had a passion for cars and racing, which made him the perfect host for the show. As a former racecar driver himself, he intimately understood the challenges and thrills of drag racing.

Each episode of the show featured two drivers who agreed to bet their cars on the outcome of a race. Before the race, the drivers would negotiate the terms of the bet, with some bets reaching as high as $10,000 in cash and additional prizes. The drivers would then make modifications to their cars to improve their performance and give themselves an edge.

Once the cars were ready, Joey would take the drivers to the starting line and introduce the race. He had a knack for hyping up the drivers and getting the audience excited about the race. Joey would then explain the rules of the race and give the drivers the signal to take off.

The races were intense and highly competitive, with both drivers giving it their all to win. The courses varied from episode to episode, including straightaways, slalom courses, and more. The winning driver would take home both cars, and the losing driver would have to forfeit their vehicle.

Aside from the races themselves, PINKS also had a strong focus on the drivers and their stories. Viewers got to know the drivers, learn about their backgrounds, and see what drove their passion for racing. Many of the drivers had come from difficult upbringings, and racing was a way for them to overcome obstacles and achieve success.

The show also explored the science behind drag racing, with mechanics and race experts providing commentary on the drivers' modifications and how they affected the race's outcome. Viewers learned about the different aspects of car performance, like horsepower, torque, and traction, and how they could impact a car's speed and handling.

PINKS was a groundbreaking show that helped bring attention to the world of drag racing. It introduced viewers to the thrill of the sport and the dedication and passion of the drivers. The show was a favorite amongst car enthusiasts and racing aficionados, and it helped to raise the profile of SPEED as a network.

Overall, PINKS was a thrilling and entertaining show that captivated audiences with its high-stakes races and compelling stories. Joey Paul Gowdy's passion for racing and expertise as a host made him an integral part of the show's success, and his personality and charisma helped to make each episode exciting and engaging.
