It is getting pretty clear that Knoxville is gonna pull out all the stops to make sure that Lasoski wins the points.
All he has to do is show up and they're gonna put him on the front row every week.
If he can manage to finish races under power he should have at least 12-15 wins this year at Knoxville alone.
Hopefully the sarcasm comes through. ;-)

There is absolutely no way that it is rigged, if u believe that u are half retarded. He has just been extremely lucky, the quick time draws the feature invert which was an 8 and he was 7th quick, theres no way it can be rigged. Unless dannt somehow knows what the invert will be when drawn from a hat and then goes out and happens to make a perfect lap tp make the invert its not rigged, use some common sense

Does this pill draw happen before or after TT are complete? I'm guessing after.
Who puts the pills in the hat (Lasoski ???) and how do we know what numbers are in the hat?
Are you sure its not rigged, I've been accused of being fully retarded before :-)

All I have to say about it is that at least my hero Doug Wolfgang who is second on the all time winners list at 60 feature wins actually had to race for his wins. Nobody would of respected and loved the Wolf as much as they do today had he not of put the shows on he was and always will be famous for. A win is a win but its just a little more respected as a fan when you come from the middle of the pack or worse and if most of your wins came in a shorter period of time. I think had traffic been an issue earlier in the race as much dicing as there was from the middle of the pack and further Lasoski would of had to check up a bit in traffic and it would of put some of the other guys in a position to strike. Id be willing to bet if the invert would of bit him tonight there would not of been a check mark on the win column from the 33 tonight.

In fairness, Wolfgang started sixth or better for a majority of the wins when he ran weekly here (and it was usually 6th as he had many quick times). That was the invert every week during that time. You can look back at it on the website. Yes, he did pull off some great charges, but no one has won from 12th more than Lasoski...it's not even close. Of course, Lasoski has run many more weekly shows than Doug did. I thought he had the fastest car tonight. All the restarts and he pulled away every time...
If this post isn't results, stories or something c

Apparently the sarcasm didn't come through. You have to remember that on this board most people will jump down your throat before they have finished reading what you have posted. It's the same way they watch races.

How many years has Lasoski raced at Knoxville WEEKLY compared to Wolfgang. to get to his record. Lasoski was lucky Zomer didn't start up front with him. He may not have 95th win.

The important thing to recognize is T. McCarl's performance......running mid pack. If he doesn't learn how to drive competively, the point championship will be Lasoski's to lose.

It was Lasoski's championship to lose the moment he announced he'd be there weekly.
Hopefully the weather is nice next weekend so I can witness win #96, I'd like to see it come from somewhere other than the front row though.

Hasn't the 55 car always been a bit of disappointment? Plenty of funding, in or close to the top five, but always something missing to take it to the top?
As far as the Dude, he was always going to be the guy that everyone looks to beat weekly this year. I just wish he had to work for it a bit more. Nothing I hate worse than the fastest guy sitting on the front row.
Time to do the USMTS style and flip 8 frizbees over on the front straight and see the number under it.

Week 1 the top 12 drew #'s for A main starting spots and Dude drew #1. When you're on a lucky streak that's the way it goes.

Couldn't agree more ...... it's gonna turn 180 degrees the other way eventually ... no one is lucky all the time.
As you say 'that's just the way it goes' ....
Fans will start coming just hoping to see him get beat.
Lasoski's 'hot streak' will sell tickets and create publicity ...win....win for the track.
S.H.S.
