"The Pinks TV Show Thread" TYers are racing!
If any motorsports TV viewers are unaware that YAMAHA Snowmobiles are Awesome High Performance Machines, they will soon be getting one heck of an education.
Pinks is 1950's style best 3 out of 5 high stakes 1/4 mile Drag Racing. Watched by over 2 million viewers, Pinks is refered to as the hottest weekly motorsports show on television.
We are delighted to have two TY members, both experienced and dedicated racers, each doing their best to win, and in the process they will give our sport, TotallYamaha and Yamaha Snowmobiles some exciting and fantastic publicity.
"Why Texas?" It is because people there call these ice machines, and never thought they could run a fast 1/4 mile. The planned 10-21-06 taping in Ennis Texas is a long haul from Northern Wisconsin and even further from the New England East Coast. These guys, both married and raising children are doing this to advance our sport and they could use your help. This is a very big event for all of us and very costly for them. If you have the ability please help them out, No amount is too small or too large. Mailing a check or a money order is best for both of these guys, but if paypal is more convenient, that is fine also. Send to:
Tyler Flagg (SRXMAGIC) 1995 V-Max 4, piped
31 Old Westfield Road
Granville MA 01034
Paypal link srxmagic@yahoo.com
AND
Terry Burmeister (NOS-PRO) 2006 Attak w/NOS
3606 Division Street
Manitowac WI 54220
Paypal link tlb@lsol.net
As a bonus, for the first time in Pinks history, also planned is a third TY member racing against only the clock, trying for a 7.75 second run at over 170 MPH.
Please feel free to post on this thread. Let's keep all posts positive and up beat. Keep in mind that Pinks racers have to sign a contract, and they may not be free to discuss every single aspect of the race, show taping and other matters. Let's not push matters that they may not be free to discuss.
Both Terry and Tyler are stoked beyond what you can imagine. They are so grateful to MrSled and all TotallYamaha Members for the words of support, and for helping them achieve such a high point for our sport.

So how did you get selected for this honor? Did they contact you or did you guys contact Pinks?
I'm just wonering becuase I Emailed pinks about 9 months ago suggesting sled races. I attached a video of a turbo RX1 making a pass to give them the idea of just how incredible these machines really are.
Congrats and I'm looking forward to the episode. Any idea when its slated to air?

WOW I can't wait to see it. So you said they are racing strickly against the clock? Not other sleds or cars? I thought the whole idea behind Pinks was if you lost, you lose your ride, but if you aren't racing anyone, what is there to lose? Cant wait to see it and good luck guys.
That is great, I love that show. Never thought I would see sleds on it. Best of luck to all the racers.

I know that Tyler and Terry are working day and night getting ready for Pinks.
So if none of you guys mind, I'll try and answer a few questions.
They will be updating us with new developments, so don't worry about that LOL.
I heard about this from Convert. Using your trucking firm to provide transportation and logistical support. I cant tell you, how cool this is!!!!
Tom, you quite probably played a part in getting the ball rolling. RX 1 video you sent closed the deal no doubt.
Terry seemingly got a call somewhat out of the blue from Rich @ Pinks perhaps 10 weeks ago.........
No, Terry and Tyler are dong the normal Pinks style, clocks off, racing against each other. But this special show will have an additional event, a blistering try for a world record, single sled racing against the clock (this exibition run with the clock on is a first time ever event for a Pinks show)
That is supposed to be a surprise so let's let Terry update us on that closer to taping date.

Hmmm....maybe if it was my Email that started this you guys could at least mention me on the show or let me be your negotiator or something.......I can really lay down a line of BS if I need to!!!!
Tork, You are correct.
The taping is Oct. 21st, and should be aired about 4 weeks after that I believe. I was talking to Rich, and he said the Tosto brothers was taped mid July this year, and was aired on August 30th.
Rich called me, and asked if I would be interested in running against another asphalt sled on his show. Rich mentioned he saw my name and picture on 4 performance websites, and found my number on one of these sites.
Thanks Tork for getting this post going, and helping out with this HUGE opportunity!

You know what we need to do........get the TY guys there as spectators. Maybe we should see if we can get something together as far as planning a trip down to watch the event if thats posible?

Does anyone know if Ty will be mentioned on the show?
That would be great exposure for the site.
Good luck to all involved.

When are you doing test runs.

Nothing more from Rich, but time is winding down, and hope the journey is a safe one. I will represent Totallyamaha whenever I can, and hope to have a contribution board made up, and standing next to the sled on the starting line. I have noticed, they kind of stray away from the sponsor stickers, I need to get 2 stickers in white of the Totallyamaha.com word stickers to put right on the sides. Or better yet, a small sticker on the shield of my helmet????????
TORK, THE MAX IS SET TO RUN. WENT TO VALLEY LAST NIGHT FOR TEST AND TUNE AND GOT RAINED OUT 
GOING BACK TO THE VALLEY ON SAT.
GOING BACK TO THE VALLEY ON SAT.Your helper
That's cool Magic.....at least I didn't drive all the way up there for nothing. Next time why don't you let me know when you are headed up there so I can give you a hand. That is.....let me know with more lead time than an hour and a half!!! It takes me 2:15 to get there!!!
