Anyone have an idea of what TK is doing in 2016 ? He's not running down under, didn't run Cocopah. Is he going back to the Midwest again ? Run A limited schedule in Tiner's car ? Anyone have an idea ?
A curious Fan !

Couldnt agree more with Southbay Bill. Damn, Tim's one of the best when he has just a half decent ride and decides to get up on the wheel hes as tough as nails. Sad, just sad.

Just running the Lunstra team dry....He struggles at Knoxville and on the bigger tracks such as Jackson!! However TK wants a title to his name...like a Knoxville championship.
He is a fool for not running Jackson Fridays for 5 grand, they run Husets Saturday for 5 grand on his type of track and only be 10 mins from the track.
Have fun running 7th every night at Knoxville TK.

I'd imagine there a pile of drivers that would kill for the chance to have the Lunstra ride. TK will be just fine and win races like usual...

I bet those "pile" of drivers would get more then 3 or 4 wins a year in the car. Like I said have fun running 7th every night at Knoxville

Anybody that knows even a little bit about sprint car racing knows how good TK is but I swwear that 3 car is S L O W. He has been uncompetitive in that car often at Knoxville and he can get around that place, I think he has 4 wins and none in that car. He's better at bull rings having grown up around them, makes sense, but he can flat out drive and race....

In the last 5 NSL races TK had 4 top fives including a victory at the season finale. They struggled a bit during the year getting the set up on the car the way TK likes it. Seemed like at the end of the year they found it and TK dominated the final night at I-80 winning from 14th. That car is top of line equipment and money is not an issue. Dobmeier had no issues picking up a couple WoO wins in that car to go along with a couple 20 plus win seasons. It isn't the car and it isn't TK. Just seemed to take a bit for the team to gel. I see a big uprovement this year for TK in the midwest.

Man some people are just plain stupid or at least present themselves that way. In the event your actually mentally handicapped I'll give you a pass on your ignorance this time. Nobody hussles a sprint car the way that TK does. If that car isn't a top 5 finisher its the whole combination not just the driver. I cant think of 5 other drivers in the world who can will a sprint car to do what they want quite like TK does.
Cheers!

If you're really a fan you would'nt be saying stupid shit like that. TK is fine where he is. He's a class dude with a passion for the sport like few others.
Cheers!

You are correct...illegal muflers/mufflers that didn't comply with Knoxville rules. Kaeding and team were adamant that it was not intentional and apologized profusely to his fans and the raceway. They took their disqualification like men and that says a lot. I think Tim and the Lunstra team will be fine wherever they race in 2016. I'm for one am happy that he got back in to a sprint car. Might not be the popular position, but I'm sticking to it! He is a gasser!

Wow soo much negativity here! I hope TK has a great season with th 3 car in the midwest! I also know that he races in CA after the NSL races are over at the Trophy Cup and other local races. He is very fun to watch and is much more consistant than people give him credit for. He was racing well during the KWS at Stockton when something broke. He got it fixed and then got into the top 3 before he had to drop out due to something wrong with the car. No matter what car he is in or where he starts in the main event he can win at any race! I have been watching him race since he started and continue to cheer him on even through all the rumors about why he lost the Roth ride. He wears his emotions on his sleeve and his passion is racing. He is a great guy on and off the track and I wish him all the best wherever he races 
Looking forward to the new Golden State King of the
West series schedule!
Winged sprintcars = the fastest and most exciting
racecars on dirt!
