Its's been a dismal start for sure. But to be bashing Kraig allready isn't very fair. Give him a chance to get his feel back. Geesh. And just remember, if things don't turn around, that the last guy in the car didn't light up the win list either. Paul was cocnsistent and pretty easy on equipment, but every driver isn't gonna mesh with every team/crew chief. Maybe it isn't the driver? Let's leave the jury out on this one a bit. Cripe the dust hasn't settled from the WoO opener yet.

LaTeR,

You know if it was TK in that car some people (and you know who are) would be bashing him too. 

GO TK and Haud!

maybe kraig will do better 2morrow and sunday also to its still very early n the season

how bad did madsen crash?

Kraig will be just fine. Not the start to the season they were looking for, but I still think he will be battling for a top 5 in the points before the season is over. Hopefully, Tony isn't using the #20 car as a R&D wagon anymore and Kraig is getting all top of the line equipment. I don't think Kraig would have accepted this ride otherwise.

2008 is going to be ultra competitive on the WoO tour and everybody is going to have to be "balls to the wall" every night. Lots of hard racing and hard crashes will be the norm I think. I just hope someone (Dollansky, Saldana, S. Kinser, Meyers, etc...) has something for Schatz this year.

based on 1 night of official WoO racing?...if TS wants results, put Lance in the car TONIGHT!

Lincoln 1845 ft/.35 mile T1=118MPH 
Eldora 2287 ft/.43mile T3=135MPH
Port 2716 ft/.51 mile T3=TBD
Grove 2792 ft/.53 mile T3=135MPH
Selinsgrove 2847 ft/.54 mile T1=136MPH

If the results were starting in a C Feature and going nowhere, 2 mid-pack B Feature finishes and credited last with the DNF in the only A Feature you qualified...

Calling it out as fan hype falling short of message board expectations and not personal bashing.

Being nice/cool/wacky does not always equate wins/championships.

Well last year when the debate was going on over who people thought should be in the 20 it was mainly b/t Kraig and TK. I honestly read more supporting comments here for Tim than anyone else. Some said "Kraig is the man Tim will just tear up equipment" and that got under me a little. But it's like the Sleaze said maybe Tony hired Kraig to get some Chevy speed secrets from pop Steve and Scott Gerkin.

Let the kid(Kinser) get back in the saddle,,I don't think tony is gonna can a quality shoe over the results from the first week in the season,,,

Every one is kind of bashing him now but once he wins a show back on the bandwagon we go...

As far as TK, yes I think he should be in an outlaw ride (tony"s or other)he has proven with quality he can win and thats not taking away from the 10 car,but in my opinion that 10 car is a high quality california ride,taking it on the road is gonna take more motor and they will find it,,

This is the first race weekend of the WoO tour let the thing get goin before WE all start bashing the results page and who is producing and who is not.. Good luck to all

get balls and run the top!!!

I'll take TK's 10th place finish last night.........and he hasn't wrecked in any of his car's yet. IMO he's happy were he's at and he gets to race where ever he want's too. And that's saying alot more IMO in the others can say or do being with the "Outlaws".

Trophy Cup......Best race of the year hands down!

The 20 car is stupid if they're not running exactly what Schatz and Warner are, unless they won't give them any help?

 
 
 
They don't even know how to spell sprint car 
much less chromoly...http://www.ycmco.com

I wonder if Kraig would have won both nights if somebody would be pissed-off that he did not lap entier field at least twice?

Thats what I"ve been thinking!

Its not nascar you can't set up sprint cars the same when they are two different chassis and two different drivers

The cars are gonna react different and the drivers control the cars in different ways,,

get balls and run the top!!!

Wouldn't it be a good starting point? I realize different cars react differently, thats why the 20 should also be a J&J with Afcos's. Isnt Donnie the fastest right now?

Kraig qualified fourth tonight. See if he can back it up in the heat and A main.

It's opening weekend and the keyboard racers start running wild with there own speculations! Wasn't it great to have 2 different winners on opening weekend? And these 2 winners where not the top contenders of last season. Way to go Dollansky and Meyers!
