FIRST TIER ENTRIES
All first tier entries have been contacted. At this point the only way to make the show is to qualify in one of the last chance qualifying races (see below).
EVERYONE ELSE (Second Tier)
All of those that sent email after Nov 18th have been moved to tier 2. Any more people that send emails of interest will be assigned tier 2.
Tier 2 (Why should I care?)
Next season there can be up to 2 qualifying events (races) that will allow a limited few (the winners) to participate in the pinks show in September. The level of demand (how many want in) will determine how many events we hold.
Being part of the second tier will put you on the list of those to be contacted, in order, to get into these shows. More details about these pinks qualifiers will be announced soon. The same rules apply as the September show. See below.
As far as the qualifying races are concerned, they will be open to anyone who has already been accepted to Pinks All Out Bakersfield, anyone who is waiting to hear from us on Tier 1 and anyone that emails us and becomes part of Tier 2. Those who make the show by qualifying at the qualifying races will receive a free car and driver entry into Pinks all out Bakersfield. Those who are on the waiting list need to stand by, because if someone ahead of you qualifies then you move up. In other words being on the waiting list or emailing us with your interest in the qualifying races could be a good thing. Our goal is to have two qualifying races, each qualifying 32 cars. We will collect entry fees ahead of time just like the All Out event.
So email us if you are interested and we will be in touch soon.
What to Do
