Pissed Off Energy Drink by Steve
10/29/2007 09:11:00 PM
When someone tells you get pissed off, it could be they're talking about an energy drink. "Pissed Off" is the name of a new energy drink from North Miami, FL-based Pissed Off Energy Drink, Inc. In these days, with new energy drinks coming out every day, you need some kind of bold marketing angle, and a name like "Pissed Off" is great way to get mentioned on some sorry blogs. Aside from boasting an all natural formula, Pissed Off is said to decrease fatigue and boost immunity. The maker claims to have thrown in a trio of botanical extracts from Eastern Europe, and we all know that Eastern Europe is THE place for botanical extracts. In addition, Pissed Off is supposed to increase resistance to chemical, biological, and physical stress and optimizes physical performance, mental performance and well being. Pissed Off comes in Regular and Diet versions, as well as a small size "Quickie" can. Get Pissed Off at... http://pissedoffenergydrink.com/

This is easy.......the one who can most easily defeat Schatz is himself....Donny Schatz. That may sound like a load of crap to some of you, but I bet if you went back and look at the nights that they did not perform well I think you will find that Donny would take the responsibility.
Next in line will be Lady Luck. Because if she leaves the building it is a whole 'nother ball game. I'm not taking anything away from anyone here, and not wishing any bad luck on anyone, but sometimes when things just don't go your way, they just don't go your way.
Here's to a speedy offseason.

The King has my vote if you notice in his 20ty championships he'll have a bad year (cough cough cough)gain a little weight and he gets serious and back in shape (cause he knows its more important now with age to get in shape to kick these young kids butts) and makes a strong come back so if you see him 20ty or 30ty pounds lighter watch out he is back to win (also no parts breaking in his motors)

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. Right on point. Besides, I'm not sure how much info Schatz could share with Kraig since they will not be running the same chassis or motors.

Should be an interesting year. Can't wait for Volusia! Last year I left Volusia in amazement on how dominent the # 15 and # 9 looked over the rest of the field. Hopefully that gap can be closed this season by some teams. Here's to hoping all drivers and teams have a safe year. GO JAC!

I think that Joey Saldana will have the best chance of winning a title next year. He's the only one listed with the resources it's going to require to compete with a "super team" like TSR. I think Kraig will do well but it's going to be a new team and with all this money coming and everyone being so equal WoO racing is getting more like nascar. It seems like it's getting where it takes a year or two for a team to come together.
Championship hopes for Dollansky and Lasoski are going to depend on who they end up driving for and how well the teams are funded. Some rumors have Lasoski running his own team and not hitting all the WoO races so I think it's a wait and see deal for both of these guys.
There are many drivers capable of winning WoO races on any given night. Steve Kinser and Jac Haudenschild will always be in that category as long as they're still racing. I don't see Steve ever dominating and winning another title. My prediction is that as each season goes by that he's still racing he's going to fall a few spots in the points. He'll win races along the way, probably some big ones, but based on my own aging experience (just turned 56) the eyesight, reflexes and fire in the belly are a little less each season.
I think Jac will have the best ride he's had in a long time. The R19 is a strong car with increased sponsor support and I think if the team gels the Minnesota owned R19 team will have their best year ever. Championship? I don't know, WoO racing is getting more like nascar where the smaller teams are having to merge to keep up with the resources of the super teams. At some point if the "haves" separate themselves much more from the "have nots" it's going to be impossible for some of these owners to pour enough money into their racing operations to keep up with Stewarts and Kahns. How much further the increased sponsor support takes the R19 won't be known until they hit the track early next year. I have to like a Minnesota owned WoO team and have always been a fan of Jac.
These are just my thoughts and maybe in a year you'll be able to say "told ya so" and I'll be eating some crow. Based on my observations that's the way I see the next WoO season so we'll see what happens.

you guys are all wrong... Schatz isn't even gonna win it!!! I hope he has a year like Steve did last year and all the Armor All TSR talk bites him in the rear.
But... if he does run good. I would say Jason Meyers will be very tough as well as Dollansky will be this year.
"Jack" Haudenschild 10%???? I know he's a hard racer but he always has a hard time qualifying. Then again... if he can get the front row start in the heat and finish in the top two.. he'll be in the dash. So maybe if he can work the system right.. he'll be alright.

Can Saldana actually pull it off? Lasoski's ride might be up and the air, and Kinser said himself he needs to stay away from the refrigerator this winter. Looks like everyone is in for another long year?
|
Saldana best shot. Steve because he's Steve . Meyers based on the way he finished off last year he'd be a good bet. Dollansky, Lasoski, Pittman should all have multipule wins but dont think they will contend. Haud didn't lead one lap after his win at Lima and don't think he'll be a factor either. As long as the points stay close like last year someone may have a shot.

Medical problems/injury only thing that will stop Schatz. Joey will be second again.
Adding $6 trillion of debt in his 1st term and now if
elected again he wouldn't have to worry about an
electorate in 2016 so the sky is the limit.And his EPA
would continue to put the screws to oil drilling and
mining for coal.Can you say bankruptcy.

Meyers gets better each year and I think he'll finish ahead of Steve Kinser again just like last year.

As far as I can tell, the only things that have changed is the paint scheme, from Sander to Weld Wheels, a different car owner, and an increase of resources. Everything else basically the same.
I sure will be interesting.
