He will not win any race of significance all year, thats a fact and his fans need to get a clue.

I dont think anyone is saying Rusty is going to go win any huge races. He is a an incredible regional race car driver though and has won many good paying races. No one is saying he is going to win the World 100, but he is a heck of regional competitor.

Saturday at Pevely and Sunday at Quincy both tracks were dryslick, both tracks had broken water trucks this weekend. And Rusty left the 4bar parts at home so he wasn't tempted to switch it to 4bar. Swing arm all the way, his goal is to make it work. And boy is he! He has put a lot into all the new designs and it shows.

We'll revisit this one around end of September.I'm not downplaying the win per se, because he won and the car stayed together. But there was 15 cars, track was very rough, and Drown broke. I think at least one other front runner broke also. Markham maybe? Corey Conley was quicker, just nailed them holes. And Rusty stayed above them for the most part.

In saying that though they have found speed and more power to them. If he keeps it up then they may become credible again.

The car he is in is a 2017 combo car. He's has been on swing arm every night. First race at Attica he started 11th and finished 3rd, then won Mansfield. This past weekend was his 3rd, 4th, and 5th races in it. Qualified 6th at Farmer City and got wrecked in the heat, then won I-55 and Quincy. He may not win any big races this year but he is 3 out of 5 so far, I wouldn't bet the farm he doesn't win a bigger race all season. You are right he probably won't end up at Atomic as he clearly always runs UMP shows with his focus on the Sunoco ALMS and American Ethanol tour point titles and of course the UMP weekly national points. The only reason they went to Mansfield was to test at a bigger track to try to prepare for Eldora's Sunoco show.

Some of the best races I've seen had as few as 12 racers. We're celebrating Rusty and CJ's victory because for a while now the shinnston moonies have been blasting CJ or anyone who dared say they liked swing arm. So you are free to go back to your lemming party anytime. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, these victories are those first few steps against theoretically superior designed machines.

I think he was in his own equipment any time he tried to qualify for the Dream or World prior to the last season or so. He's been running for National Champion and running for points during the World and Dream. The AELT has some bigger paying events this season and the Championship pays good.

But like I said, let's just wait until the end of September and see where he's at.

I'm betting your trolling, per as usual.My suggestion to your whiny a$$, who changed his name like a troll does, is to ignore me. You take everything so personal. I'm giving my opinion, which is the same of most on CJ. Forked tongue eh? Maybe it's criss crossed applesauced. CJ was irrelevant, when you go from 300 cars a year to like 15, umm, sorry, kinda factual, you aren't relevant. Just like GRT and Warrior.

He didn't want to change, and that's why he wasn't selling cars. All the people who were loyal to him have been quoted in saying so. Rusty made an agreement with CJ to let him tweak the cars.

Like I said, which I'm sure you skipped that part, Rusty keeps on winning, and makes Rayburn credible again, more power to them. I don't give two sh!ts what's under the car or who builds it, I just like to see good racing.

If you wanna continue to be butt hurt by me, better bust out the Vaseline and KY, cause I ain't changing for your whiny, sensitive self. And I'll post anywhere I want. Put me on ignore.

Maybe we should start a go fundme for a motor, wait someone already tried that.Most of what we read on this site and others is cost. People complain about shocks, wide bore engines, tires, the bodies, the nose pieces, fuel cost etc etc. Rusty makes it work with a limited budget. That seems to bother you. Or it bothers you that it gets brought up. The reason it gets brought up every year? Every year the keyboard racers on 4m act like he owes it to them to go race against the guys with 4 motors in their $300,000 haulers. That brings people to his defense. You call it hype. Those of us in the mid west have seen him out run Babb, Pierce, Erb, Shirley, etc. he has won Hell tour races, the Jonny Appleseed a few times etc. ALMS titles. He started racing against Kris Patterson, Matt Miller, Jeep, Shane Yoder etc. but every year guys like you b!tch because he doesn't race Lucas races or he avoids competition. That's why you have people bring up his budget every year. Racing needs more Rusty Schlenk's!!!!! A lot of people respect him for what he does.

i dont personally know him, but this post gives me respect for him because budget wise theres a 100 low budget teams , including myself, to 1 big budget team trying best we can to compete. IMO there is no shame in passing a big race with 20 or more of those big budget teams to go to where you feel you have a chance to compete,JMO....

Racing use to be a blue collar sport and yes I agree with the low budget teams and not trying to compete with the people that have big sponsor's and unlimited funds , I applaud any racer that works hard to keep his own program alive and races every week end with out any big sponsors . That's what made racing so great and now it has grown and I completely understand the big sponsors ,hey if they will give you unlimited funds you are a (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) fool to walk away from that , hooray for the small guys

engines are not as relevant as they once were as far as performance goes, meaning, what is the big deal about wide bore engines? on a dry slick track, which most are now days, whats does it really matter if your making 800hp or 900 hp? to me getting control of shocks and other suspension parts is where the answer lies.

Motors are more relevant now than they have ever been in Dlm's. These newer cars are so tight that even in dry slick conditions you need a ton of horse power to turn and control them. Plus with things so competitive you almost always need to qualify good in order to have a good night.

Motors are very important on big tracks and also on heavy tracks, Smaller slick tracks a guy can get by without having a massive motor, that's why you see those few guys winning races with those 525 motors.

I would reign in costs with these engines first. No wide bores, put a cubic inch and compression ratio limit on them. The shock prices, idk what could be done there...

It starts with limiting available traction and downforce, then the cost will take care of itself. The much ballyhooed, "wedge late model" was nearly the exact issue, too much traction, engine cost got stupid, so they went to "Small Body rules" and dirt late model exploded with growth. We have the same issue today due to rule creep, partiality and ignorance.

The first step I think is to implement a body height rule max, no whop sided mounted nose, 6 inches(could be more, could be less) from ground max, all the way across. Same for right side. Instead of a complete slab side on right, make the rear section taper in on left & right the same equally. If you can hinder the aero advantage they lose traction and need less HP and thus negates the need for a wide bore engine. The idea is to make running the car FDAU undoable because the nose will dig into the track and tear it off, so they have to stiffen the RF back up. Then if your not dropping the nose and using bumps and so forth, you lessen the need for the high dollar shock setups. Also limit them to 1 shock per wheel, period. Supers can still be supers, but if you want them to thrive and be healthy some changes need to happen. Besides higher speeds don't usually make for better racing, usually the opposite. JMO

Maverick has it right. My first car was a Rayburn wedge car. We are pretty much back there now! I have said for a long time we need to get back to the mid to late 90s body rules.

I will ask all of you bench racers a simple question. WHAT 1, ONE, RULE WOULD LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD IN SLM COMPETITION ? remember just 1.

Nothing could truly level the playing field. The smart drivers with money will always be faster.

The 1 thing that started all these aero bodies was the lr shock behind.

The point of racing isn't to level the playing field. The point is he who has the fastest car wins.

Swing arms are good on rough tracks not so much slick tracks.

Thats the sterotype. Now days, you can get bolt on stuff in enough flavors to make dynamic wheel loading anything you desire. If you know what works, the swingarm can be made the same.

Schlenk wins again. This time at Peoria. 2nd to Doug Drown at Attica last night.

Early UMP National point lead? Wouldn't surprise any one.

Are we really talkin UMP points in April? He will be points leader, but as with the past few years, until after the SummerNationals, it's hard to start discussuing leaders... the SN have such a huge hold on it, its crazy

Definitely a stereotype. If you know what you're doing and bother to learn they GO just fine in the slick, and w/o a j-bar either.

The one thing that needs changed is bodies. We run the 525 ct motors and do pretty well. Shocks do a lot but if you change just one. It's got to be bodies.
Motors are way over rated, been there done that! About lost my house a couple times. You can have just as much success if the focus is on more than just HP

9 cars in a feature is pathetic.... But, with how expensive this sport is it's not real surprising. Hell, Eldora could only field 15.Glad to see Rusty winning though. He's a great guy.

Only 7 finished at Sharon for JR's first Lucas win since florida... If we'd do away with crate some of the numbers in super would improve, as it is now some crates are spending $13K-$15K for a 604 and that's not far from a good used open comp engine capable of winning.
