Seemed he was a bit upset with something. My take away was he wasn't at all happy with his chassis. What is you guys and gals opinion????

cutman

When's the last time he was happy with a chassis???

Comment that stuck out to me was "decent driver average car".....seemed strange, but like cutman said, when has he ever been happy.

His accident has nothing to do w his preformance. He frustrated w his chassis cuz he cant get it to go to his likings. Hes going backward when he should b going fowards. When he gets the right chassis then look out he will be on a roll. I just might have to deliver a longhorn up to him then you will see a difference my friends!

I have talked to Timmy a lot before and after the Chili Bowl wreck and have watched his results in 3 different chassis brands and his results before that wreck were much better. Talking to him now verses before he doesn't seem to be the same... Always has excuses.

Marlar got one then his car owner sold it without him knowing... It had nothing to do with performance... It had to do with Weaver needing a 2nd car...

I really think Tmac should of said I (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) good driver in half a$$ rocket chassis lol.. think he just upset he has been really close to win one but cant pull the trigger. I think he would do better in a black dimond or club. it fits his driving style more than a longhorn.

He is simply a client.. He is not a dealer... As round said... No one is. They have no dealers. Thus they bought the Longhorn off Ronnie and like I said... It's the car he drove to win at Smokey Mountain...

In Marlars interview with DoD he even mentioned they sold the car to Weaver and his car owner...

Honest opinion I watched Bloomquist lap up to 7th place in the World of Outlaws race at Smokey , so you draw your own conclusions . If they don't wreck Casey Roberts when he shows up what happens there how about Ferguson's sweep in the WOO

I'm not touting Longhorn either you brought it up Capital cars are leading on a tour they used to dominate , Club 29 has been better , Longhorn enough said . I'm just saying they need to put some work in . When you have to cling to one weekend of results it proves my point for me .

Carolina, you can't get the Rocket boys on here to even give an inch!! Rocket has been and always will be the best in their eyes! But, the facts show when all the big boys are in town at a show Rocket has lost a step!!! Yes, you lovers of Mark and josh can stand on your WoO victories but honestly other than Clanton!! What's there consistently night in and out?? When Ferguson, Ogle and Bloomer came to play with them where did the trophy go? And yes a win is still a win, I get it!! But, just cause some like to spout of sales numbers of Rockets remember this, just cause you have the most out there doesn't mean your the best. Mark makes his money by selling cars and that's not going to change, nobody is saying that. But, anybody that knows the situation at Rocket doesn't like it when that big blue hauler has its lights on backing out leaving for the drive back home as Bloomer is trying desperately to find 25lbs on his second attempt across the scales at Eldora!! Especially, after how bad all the Rockets looked. This weekend will be important, nobody better than Josh at Lenerville.

What about the Lucas race that was won by Josh Richards earlier this season? Does that not count?. Clanton beat the WoO and Lucas guys several times at Volusia too. But I guess it only counts when the Lucas guys go to the WoO and win races right? How do you explain Randy Weaver and Jason Feger winning on the Lucas series? Does it only count when Ogle and Ferguson beat the WoO guys?

Everyone here likes to twist the facts, or only use the ones that suit them. In reality Longhorns are not any better than Capitals, and Capitals are no better than a Club 29, Rockets are no better or worse than all of the above. In the hands of a good driver (like Davenport, Lanigan, Clanton, Richards, etc) any of the above could rattle off 3-4 wins on either tour at any time (as has been evident over the course of the past few seasons).

Just be thankful that we have so many outstanding drivers in this sport.

Thanks,

EPJ is second in Lucas Oil points has won races has been consistent , black diamond , club 29 same thing .

I think Darrell is suffering from what Bloomquist did when he was trying to push his chassis out to much information being given away that is hurting his own program . He didn't just forget how to drive in a year .

brandon sheppard can out wheel anybody in my opinion if the car is up to par,in the slick he does have his problems but its just his experience,if he doesn't get out he will be the best and the one to beat in a couple of years,that cat is just fun to watch drive,he lets it all hang out but sometimes pays the price for it,he is for the most part still very young to be running on the level he is,
sorry to rob the post
tmac just needs to work on his setups he's really not far off,he's just frustrated right now and to be expected,he's used to being up front but it sounds like he is very dependent on help from them and richards has been behind since being gone but it looks like he is starting to find it again,he's starting to run up front alot again

I'm not clinging to one weekend, I'm comparing apples to apples (last weekends WoO races to last weekends Lucas races). Josh Richards just swept the Tyler Co. weekend a few weeks back. Had he picked up a win in NY he would have won four in a row on the WoO series. That is pretty good I think.

Of course they need R&D, as does the Discos people were gagging on a year ago. Things come and go. I think Mark has been at this too long to not gain that little bit he's missing back. And they sold 285 cars last year, so I wouldn't call in the Reaper yet.

I agree with his thoughts on shock rules, while costing more per shock.... way cheaper than having to buy a full rack of shocks in the long run. The part I would like him to dive into further though, is how he would build a competitive open motor to run a national travelling series, and be competitive, for under 20K. I would think you would have just about that much wrapped up in the modern era SLM block, crank and head castings alone...

That is what I'm saying. If you are in a Longhorn, Rocket, Bloomquist, BWRC, Club 29, Capital, etc. you are in the game. Any of those chassis can get you to victory lane. The rest lies with the driver. I think some driver/chassis combos work better simply because of driving style, but that does not mean one chassis is leaps and bounds better than another. For the most part the great drivers win no matter what chassis they are sitting in, and the same holds true for the medicore drivers -- they are just a mediocre in a Rocket as they would be in a Longhorn.

Thank you 3rd grade teacher for stating the obvious, I didn't realize this was going to be graded and proof read , next time try reading all my comments instead of just picking one that you could argue with . Grammar Nahtzi'sYou're welcome. You want to b!tch about other users, drivers, chassis, and so on, but can not use your and you're right, I was just helping you out;).

*Nazi;) You're welcome.

I did none of the above rofl , you might want to retake that reading comprehension class . You passed grammar but must have slept through that one . What a tool now go critique Lighty's posts

Besides I didn't know Bloomquist or Chupp to ever drive a Rocket .

I just watched 2 nights of Lucas racing and seeing Brandon Sheppard and Eddie Carrier Jr. not even in the ballgame just makes you go hmmm . Casebolt passed Bshepp in the B main like he was tied to a stump . I'm not on the Rocket doom and gloom train but if your pretending they don't need some major R&D you're blind .

Besides I didn't know Bloomquist or Chupp to ever drive a Rocket .At least I got you all butt hurt. I think it's hilarious.

Chupp did when he was with the McLaughlins' I think it was, outta the Conneaut, Ohio area. You're right, I don't comprehend how Rocket is going down the sh!tter, but yet sold 285 cars last year. And is still winning, and if you stick up for them you're some homer. On the national level, yes they need some help, I'm sure Mark and company are on it. I will stick up for any chassis that's still successful, but people wanna act like they are the next Rayburn.

And there you go again with names, maybe you should look up hypocrite/hypocrisy. There's no help for Litey, he is one of a kind.

Carolina when they start picking at the grammar/spelling of a post, you know that they have been upset and can't think of anything better to reply. The Rocket lovers are a tough group to sometimes bring logic to something! Mark keeps his troops in line!! Did anyone notice the one thread was deleted???? Again, they have more pull on this board than some think!!

And Jack Starrette and Chupp had Rockets too.

And thank you, I'll take them as compliments.

Again, they have more pull on this board than some think!!I'm not a Rocket lover. I don't drive, I could care less who drives what chassis, where it's built, and who drives it. But the bashing of a certain chassis when they are still selling a$$loads of cars, and you can't stick up for them without being called a lover etc, is laughable.

And to b!tch about said chassis, while making grammar mistakes, it's annoying. Sorry, just is. And sticking up for Rocket is no different than having a dissenting opinion on Longhorn, or last year it was Disco cars. Things go in cycles, people love to jump on bandwagons.

I think it's cute you came to his aide. So do we classify you two as Longhorn lovers or Rocket haters, since we are labeling stuff.

Jeff loves Rocket it was a rib at him , I like Jeff stop trying to make something out of nothingI'm not, you got all upset because I poked fun at you over your and you're. You went back and corrected posts, it's ok, we all screw up. I just started out fukin with you, and you took it hook, line and sinker.

And yes, Jeff is a Rocket and Josh lover, comparable to the Pierce Posse.

Y'all do know I coined the term ( disco car ) first don't you????

Reminded me of studio 54 disco days and that was the first bourbon induced thing my pea brain could get out on 42m that night.........or at least I think I did.

Cool how the lingo stuck around.

I wouldn't call Chupp and Bloomer fan a "Rocket lover", have you ever looked at his posts in the past? I think it is just getting annoying to more than just me now that everyone thinks Rocket is the next Rayburn or something. They are winning races consistently just like Longhorn, and Club 29. There is a lot more competition than there used to be that is for sure, but to act like they are not competitive is ridiculous.

Thanks,
Jeff.

I don't recall anyone saying Rocket is going to fall off the map like Rayburn did. I think your stretching what others are saying to keep waving the Rocket flag. Mark will always lead the way in sales. I don't think anyone will deny that. They are set up better than any other dealer.

I really don't care how anybody spells or uses different words. I am a redneck racing fan and I understand it all. I learned Ebonics just to understand what their saying in the Great USA. :)
