The top guys have had to have known about the Rumley suspension for a while now. Tough to keep racing secrets. Kevin's indicated just because they used this device at Eldora, it won't be necessarily used be used at the next race. The handling stance/posture of the 6 car is unique. driving off the right front. Knowing how to fine-tune this device, and orienting the car's overall suspension to it, is the real secret. As Kevin has essentially developed this entire concept, he's way ahead of the learning curve.

I think the folks who visit the tech section know that. lol. The pic has apparently gone viral lately. The photographer should have kept it a little closer to the vest. I would have. It seems every car builder has had these for a while.

No. People need to get to work.

But, just because nothing in that pic is illegal doesn't mean there isn't something under there that is either.

This picture maybe going viral but you have to know how to use what's in the picture for it to do any good.
This is asphalt racing technology here.

Yeah guys that pic is from the Oshkosh Lucas race in May. Have any new ones come out since then? You can tell from recent action shots that he is running some sort of different variations. I've looked at the oshkosh pic for days and still haven't figured it out

I would imagine there are several different ones, depending on what type of track they're going to.

The average racer could look at that picture, or any other picture of Davenport's left rear and replicate it, but the average racer still isn't going to win as many races. The other three corners of the car are just as important, and it's fast because of the total setup.

At Pittsburgh .... Big glassy slick momentum track that requires throttle control and being smooth , davensnort had a much faster car than bloomquist but the GOAT used his far superior car and throttle control to pass the faster car and put it on him. Davensnort has a ballistically fast race car but is no where near Bloomquist on the wheel. I don't care what any davensnort nutt huggers tell me . Out davensnort back in the CBR car without rumley around and you show me all of the Crown Jewels he racks up. Bloomquist doesn't need a rumley ....

Bloomquist's does have a Rumley, his name is Ronnie Crooks.

If the average racer can replicate this, why is it that more cars do not have this set up. Because it take someone that knows how to use them. Or even what this system is called. Like it or hate it, it comes from asphalt racing. And these cars are driving more like asphalt cars everyday!

Unlike you hucktyson bloomers not doing it by his self.

CBR was the problem why jd never went any place w that program. If you were put in that car it would be going in reverse at high speed. Just cuz you invented the nuthugger program w bloomer doesnt mean jd fans are the same but call them what you want.

Im sorry you are disgruntled over jd crashing your boys show but get over it.
This will make your day, after the world race jd said he was only running at 80%.

Seriuosly, have you ever worked on a dlm before?

When a driver tells you that, he generally means that's all the throttle % he was using! NO ONE, not even Bloomer, will tell you he uses 100% throttle in a feature! You can only use all of that 900hp when the track is wet and tacky.

It's more than generally speaking, it's 100 % of what he is talking about.........other than the throttle and breaking a driver has no real way of knowing how hard he is pushing any othe component of the car.

So yes, when they talk about driving it 70,80,90 percent they are talking about the gas pedal.

This will make your day, after the world race jd said he was only running at 80%.It's the same thing, no matter what you wanna call it though. You got two glory holes, ones JD for you, others Bloomer for Huck, suck n dik is suckin dik. Acting like both are perfect, it is the same thing. And making excuses when either doesn't win, same deal. Don't call it nuthuggers, call it "loyal fans" if you want, same thing.

Don O Neal's car is owned by CBR, so?

Furthermore, if it was Bloomer that ran over JDs front end at Attica it'd have been the end of the world.

I picked Bloomer in my name at first because he is such a lightening rod, and I find it hilarious. JD is growing on me, after his drive at Eldora. But I still question how much is Kevin and Lee Roy and how much is JD.

Bloomers Tshirt trailer at Eldora and the reaction he got is all you need to know as to who is still number one in dirt late models. And if he acted like Richard Petty instead of Earnhardt/Tim Richmond, he wouldn't be such a lightening rod.
