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 - Source
