Almost as soon as he could drive, he was taking part in lakes racing on Southern California's El Mirage dry lake bed in the Mojave desert in a 1934 Ford Coupe.

In 2013, Pink was inducted into the SEMA Hall of Fame.

From that he eventually developed an interest in the 426 Chrysler Hemi, lending his talents to its development as the engine of choice among Top Fuel and, later, Funny Car teams in the growing NHRA drag racing series.

Ed Pink helped develop the engines used in Singer Porsches, as well as working on restorations of 917s for Bruce Canepa and others.

Pink started out as a drag racing specialist in the 1960s, the golden age of the sport, building big block Hemis for the best racers in the field.
