Nate Pritchett, star of the SPEED show Pinks, has been dreaming up a drag racing series called 1320X for over a year now. Backed by the PINKS production team, 1320X is a competitor to the NMCA and other street Legal Racing series. Does 1320X have what it takes to fly with the big boys? We'll soon find out.
The first two events is a little more than 2 months away, launching July 4th with some monster Outlaw Drag Radial size purses. Want to participate? E-mail
Nate Pritchett here and he can get you setup with all the info you need to know.
Where will you find 1320X? On the web. Just like Street Legal TV, powerTV, or Streetfire. In what's billed as a heads up drag race meets Pinks, taped on the web, 1320X is bring big money and quite a big risk in this new format.
