The fact that it's still a big deal when they get beat says it all. This current group has won the last 4 crown jewel events and 7 of the last 8. Not a bad record.

I'd like to thank you for all the promotion in the Sprint car world but some times you have a double standard of reporting.

Top Outlaw teams have huge budgets at their disposal. Way over $1,000,000. Schatz has ten full time people on his payroll. Their cars have seen wind tunnels and 7-post rigs. Supposedly they are even building their own heads now. And the locals are still kicking their ass as much as ever.

Not this week Cubes. Nor the last 10 crown jewel events that this group has won 9.

Schatz is on top and also has the best supporting crew plus probably an unlimited budget .Their operation will lose money except for Tonys great connections.After that there are many drivers many who have been on the WOO circuit but have smaller budgets that are as good as any.Even though I love sprint car racing it doesnt attract the attension it deserves and is not TV friendly like many other venues.Hot dog eating championship,arm wrestling,poker games,even lawn mower races get more coverage.Sprint Cup is boring to me but has constant coverage.NSL and Knoxville have at least 5 of the top ten drivers.

Look at the bright side...the WoO can beat him when he restarts at the rear after mechanical issues...
would mandating a full invert by EoO points for the A main help the others or should they consider shortening all races to 15 laps?
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

Bullshit the WoO are as good as ever! Remove the top 4 or 5 and all the damn money at their disposal and what do you have? The rest of the field wouldn't win crap at most stops in the country! The disparity in funding right now is the widest it's ever been, and the top funders (NASCAR participants) aren't going to let that change. The only reason there aren't 20 travellers full time on the WoO tour is because of money, not because of a lack of talent. There are several drivers accross the country that would shake up the WoO standings if the money wasn't so far out of balance. Argue all you want.....MONEY RULES!

Racing is no different than any other sport, baseball players, hockey players or football players from today are much better than from 15 to 20 or more years ago. Racing is no different. Everything gets better. Better nutrition, better physical conditoning, starting at an earlier age, etc. In sprint car racing today, everyone has and does buy the same equipment and they all start at age 5 or 6. Just read about these Outlaw sprint carting series. Would like to see that stuff. Very very fast little cars with wings, a midget sprint car. Many Napscar drivers own them.
Lawlessness and liberalism equals Hell. NY City,
Detroit, Seattle, Chicago, Minnepolis, etc. We saw it.
Burning hundreds of buildings, a thousand assaults and
dozens of murders. Getting worser and worser.

Except....the athletes you mention don't have 900 HP under them....that being said, they do have different speeds in their legs, arms etc.....and that's why the stick and ball athletes also have a high discrepency in how they get paid. But those athletes don't pay $$$$ for their natural talent, while the drivers of today are spending someone elses $$$$ to have the most powerful engines under them. The driving talent is no greater today than it's ever been, in fact I don't think it's as good. But the equipment sure as hell has changed, making them appear better!
