Dave Hess won some races last year in his Rayburn. There wasn't threads after every win for him. These weekly wins aren't going to get guys lining up to buy them. They gotta win high profile races often to get that.

True. But it shouldn't be like that. If you are a UMP racer, a guy like Schlenk should be able to sell you cars. I am sure it is much cheaper than an XR1 and you just got beat by it.

Rusty looked stout at Farmer City Thurs. and Fri. Just qualified bad and was buried in heats. He was fast and did pass quite a few cars. For a low budget team, I'd say they're doing OK.

Schlenk had on his schedule Farmer City Thursday and Friday, FALS Saturday and Spoon River Sunday. I take it since he didn't make the show Thursday and Friday he bailed on FALS to pick up some UMP points running at Oakshade.. Not sure if he made it to Spoon RiverSunday or not?

The journey of a thousand wins begins with a single victory!
As more and more wins are reported the naysayers and scoffers will have far less to crow about in their ignorance. Too many these days lack the ability to think for themselves and base all their decisions on what the guy next to them is doing and mimic them. Just because a given product is popular and advertised in staggering amounts does not make it better, even if every other lemming around you runs one.

It does take horsepower and set up to win, but winning the big shows still sells chassis's. I would love to see a Rayburn win a big show.

Folks want to have the same equipment as the fastest guys who win the biggest races. Even in UMP land, most teams are going to want the stuff that wins the biggest races, too. Rusty has been very fast at a bunch of different style tracks, proving that the car is versatile and that's a great thing, but it's all been weekly stuff so nobody cares.

It may sell a few Rayburns in the Midwest, but teams aren't "coming back" en masse until a Rayburn wins a pile of Summernats, WoO or Lucas races. To even have the chance to do that, they're going to have to run a pile of those races. That's not Rusty's style.

I think it is a combined effort, CJ is building the new cars and Rusty is supposed to make them look good to sell them, this is per an article that Rusty did on DoD. I hope CJ has built a competitive car and I hope CJ does become relevant again but when Schlenk goes to a couple shows outside of his home area and doesn't make 3 features it cant look good.

How about this phil he puts on his facebook he will be in illinois thurs-sun but then has return to ohio with his tail between his legs cause things got a little to big in illinois over the weekend. He is the all time king of the ump cherry pickers. Now someone will get on here and say you gotta do what you gotta do hes a full time racer. Thats all fine and good just admit that hes a cherry picker and will never be anything more than that. And who cares what car hes in nobody is ripping on rayburn here.

I believe rusty said he has beat everyone in the country one time or another, so lets all pitch in and get this future nascar star launched.

The man is a racer. He parked beside us at eldora for the season opener. The races finished early that night, he rushed and loaded everything up to go run Attica that same night. Not many guys would want to do that, he has my respect. I never did see how he done that night, or if he even made it in time. They were loaded and gone 15 mins after the late model feature.

If I did try to race its quite plausible I would do poorly.

Now If he goes out and wins a handful of tough races then yeah that is something to gloat about but until then......

Like I said in my post that you clearly didn't understand is that I don't blame him for picking and choosing where he can win and what makes the most sense for their budget but him winning these local shows and then goes to some stiff competition races and doesn't make the A main three straight nights doesn't put these cars back on the map. You have no clue how these cars are being set up now if you think they are still running Rumley device replacements.

Let me ask you this, if you are from his region, and you say you are a racing fan, who from this area do you like? Who from this area has wins of substance? The other disrespectful thread you posted you insinuated winning at Oakshade was easy? Is winning a local show at I 55 easy? Is winning a special at Mansfield easy? Peoria local show easy? Is winning an ALMS show at Eldora easy. Quincy local show on Sundays easy? Are any of those wins considered Cherry picking? I just don't understand how you can belittle any of these accomplishments. Who else from that area can match his resume? Five ALMS Championships? Seven Oakshade Track Championships? An UMP National Championship? Not even Kris Patterson, who is a DLM Hall of famer, could win a National Championship. What other race team from his area has accomplished so much? On a local or regional level?

You say you want to "bring reality to the thread"? Not even close. Hatered has altered your preception of reality. It's called delusional. It's not other people, it's you!

I guess if you and others want to say that weekly wins at tracks that have 15 cars or less are significant thats your right. As far as Oakshade goes its a good place to watch a race on a sat definitely more then 15 cars there. That being said Oakshades group of guys capable of winning in a-main is certainly not what it was 10-15 years ago.

Crazy that some of these guys who are just trying to make it, but don't have the funding for an XR1 or Longhorn, are catching so much flack. In the DoD article Rusty did, he was leaning towards an XR1, but the funds weren't there to get one. Then he was thinking of making his own, and ended up coming to an agreement with CJ. Rusty would beautify them, and do a little bit of his own thing, and CJ would do the rest.

At the same time people are hateing on Schlenk, they b!tch about Rocket and Longhorn. Racing is, and always will be, monkey see, monkey do. Rayburn will not reach any prominence without winning bigger races and probably getting a bigger named driver. Hess Jr and Schlenk are both good, but not the household name nor do they have the big pocket book.

Unless you are paying Rusty's bills, he can run wherever makes the most economic sense. Just is what it is, you gotta make some money. And take baby steps, and maybe eventually they'll land a bigger name back in a Rayburn.

...Racing is, and always will be, monkey see, monkey do. ...Only for the Lemming generation, some us can and do think for ourselves.


Every win in a dirt late model is significant. Winning races is not easy to do.True, very true. Pointing out every win, regardless of prominence makes a difference. The hater trolls will always make an excuse to nullify a victory, when it wasn't long ago they were declaring ANY win in a Rayburn/Swing Arm as impossible, regardless of competition or conditions. Then somebody wins and you get a laundry list of stipulations as to why:

Its his home track or home area or home country.
Nobody else was there besides the 23 guys he outran.
The rest of the field were bomber cars, well at least 2 were.
It's not a significant race, because I didn't want him to win.
He didn't win a couple of races this week and changed his schedule, so it's over.
He's gotta win on WoO or Lucas or Nascar or NHRA or it doesn't count.
Mark Richards didnt build that car so it can't actually win anyway, its illegal.
All late models have to come from WV or they are just copies.
Its not really a Rayburn because Rusty put his stickers on it...

and on and on... A win is a win unless it was called on account of rain.

Your seeing better at oakshade right now on a weekly basisAll of those drivers had huge rides and big money behind them...i watched rusty beat matt miller with matt millers engine from 10 years before that. If people truly knew rusty and what he runs with they would be shocked. That win at i55, if that is not significant your crazy. Everyone laughed when they heard the car will be swingarm hell i had my doubts...you sir dont even know was dlm racing is. Keep on being that keyboard warrior. Just adds fuel to the fire.

Only for the Lemming generation, some us can and do think for ourselves.

True, very true. Pointing out every win, regardless of prominence makes a difference. The hater trolls will always make an excuse to nullify a victory, when it wasn't long ago they were declaring ANY win in a Rayburn/Swing Arm as impossible, regardless of competition or conditions. Then somebody wins and you get a laundry list of stipulations as to why:

Its his home track or home area or home country.
Nobody else was there besides the 23 guys he outran.
The rest of the field were bomber cars, well at least 2 were.
It's not a significant race, because I didn't want him to win.
He didn't win a couple of races this week and changed his schedule, so it's over.
He's gotta win on WoO or Lucas or Nascar or NHRA or it doesn't count.
Mark Richards didnt build that car so it can't actually win anyway, its illegal.
All late models have to come from WV or they are just copies.
Its not really a Rayburn because Rusty put his stickers on it...

and on and on... A win is a win unless it was called on account of rain.Well. As long as there has been competition, everyone wants to be whoever is at the top. It's nothing new, been going on for 100's of years. While it's more accessible if you have money to have the same thing as everyone else, no matter what sport we are talking about, it's always been mirroring the top level people and doing it a touch better than them. It's not something new.

Rusty is one of the nicest guys you will meet. He goes out of his way to say hi, chat with kids and fans or lend a hand to a fellow driver. The amount of racing and traveling he does for the peanut budget he has is remarkable. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the budget for all the best of the best parts in the DLM world. I was hopeful he would find the sponsorship $ to be able to get in an XR1 but that didn't happen. Some may call him a cherry picker, but I call it being smart and doing what you have to do to pay the bills and keep food on the table.

I can assure you Glenn Bradley didn't have big money behind him, they was about as shoestring of a budget a race team could have and compete with back in the early 90's. I have no dog in this fight one way or the other about Rusty, it's none of my business, but to lump Glenn Bradley in there with big money behind him the years he was winning and driving the Danny Howell owned 2 car at Oakshade would be crazy.

Dave Hess Jrs. Win at Wayne County Speedway was for a guaranteed starting position in the upcoming WOO race. Hess won a WOO race there a few years back. Maybe C.J. gets his big win there. Hess has been on a rail regionally. 2nd year in Rayburns for the team. Hess can drive with the best of them.

If Nick Hoffman didn't blow a right rear he wouldn't have even been close to winning.

If slack hadn't ruined racing at Eldora, Noonan wouldn't have won. If Wheatland hadn't rained out, Hoffman wouldn't have been in first. If your aunt had external genitalia, she would be your uncle.

One of the top WoO cars and plenty of other good pieces had nothing for that Rayburn.

I loved seeing that Rayburn run up front. I'm a Rusty fan and his CJ1 looked very impressive! We will see how he fairs at the Dream.

Hess has a 2017 swing arm car Last year won a bunch of races with a 2016 swing arm car. Same suspension last year as this. I've built several of these cars and they are all running good. I built a 4 link car in 2014 that won 18 crate races 12 the next with a different driver. They are all good if you work on the car instead of worrying about what your neighbor has.
