Davenport is at best an average driver always has been then insert Rumleys who set the car up did the maintenance big strong motors and you have an average guy with great equipment winning races but they didn't like rebuilding the car after every race as Davenport is hard on the right side of the car if you get my drift Rumleys would rather stay home and enjoy than rebuilding someones high speed demo derby.Thats fact By the way those of you that jumped on the Superman band
wagon 2 years ago and bought your swag lol its now selling 3 for 20 dollars on the clearance rack lolol

If that's a fact, why aren't the Rumleys running their car this year with someone else in it? JD is far from an average driver. Will he ever live up to the season he had two years ago? The simple answer is no. He set the bar so high that the expectations he has now are unreachable. There's no denying that he's struggling this year, but it has more to do with the equipment he is in than his driving skill. He won a fair amount of races in the 116 last year.

Wrong I had a brief conversation at Atomic last season at the Buckeye nationals and both Rumleys were not happy with the fact they had to rebuild the car after every race one made the comment patients I heard that with my own ears so whatever you think

First time I every say this on this board, you are dumb ass (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word).

DJ has struggled this year sure, but he is in a totally different chassis and engine combination with a new team. Sometimes it just takes time to make the right adjustments to become competitive at a high level again. Also, JD was winning races around the south long before he was with rumley, so I know he has the talent to get the job done.

Prior to Rumley he was top 5 in points for most of his rookie season on Lucas Oil tour with CBR/Barry Wright. I know your an, "agent provocateur" so I won't bother responding to anymore of your prodding.

Well why didn't they over 15 drivers, some pretty big names around the south have set in the #6 machine over the years ? Since you know everything enlighten us. JD won over $100,000 dollars between crate and super wins in more than one season before ever setting foot in the 6 or on the Lucas Tour.

Wrong. So wrong ? If JD had Rumley turning wrenches on his BWRC ICON I feel you would see him doing better than what he has so far this season. You cann't say the car he is in currently is as good. Forget about the 5.00 Rumley device. They are struggling with set up. So the 6 car is sitting idle ? Makes no sense what so ever ? Maybe rumley's are the problem ! It is dirt racing.

06-12-2017, 02:03 PM
One could make the argument that before Davenport got in the 6 car it was average on the national level.It has been a quality ride forever but I don't think Shaver or anyone else ever put together a monster year driving it.JD won a lot of races before he ever sat in the seat of the 6 car.I will wait on the it was all because of the gadget comments.

Matt49
06-12-2017, 05:51 PM
It's amazing how far out of the ballpark some of your perspectives are. JD was one of the 5 best drivers in the country from a pure talent standpoint before he ever got in the 6 car.
When Kevin decided to start helping the family-owned team FULL TIME and they put JD in the 6, that team became a major player. Many factors there including their association with Longhorn and the"device" (which we won't even get into since most of you don't even know what it is) made them nearly unbeatable that season. Imagine how many races they would have won if Bloomer had not been on tour.
Now JD is with Barry Wright and they are struggling. But this shouldn't be a surprise to anybody. Barry Wright's cars seem to struggle on the national level as compared to the other top builders right now. Like most builders, they will turn it around at some point. This sport goes in cycles and these cycles affect drivers, teams, builders, etc. What Rumley/Longhorn/JD did for one season is catch all three at peak performance.
That's the bottom line!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but...did Bloomer ever have something similar to Rumleys gadget. He only lost the title by 55 points, I think. If the last 2 races hadn't got rained out, he most likely would have won the title.

I don't think Bloomer ever did. His car never looked like it. I saw a few cars that looked like they were onto it. I saw some stuff under cars that wasn't it. I don't think there were many onto it at the end of 2015. I think there are a lot of people that think they know now, but still don't.

Nah, he's gotten much better with car control over the years. Remember when he first started he was going to be the show. Sometimes that was for good reasons, just as often it was for the wrong reasons. The talent was always obvious even if you almost got in a fight with him a time or two.

He and Barry will get it going better soon I would guess. Davenport is a victim of his own success. For my $$$ his 2015 season is the best in history. Anytime someone throws down a season like that they've hit on something. They were no different, but you don't go on that run if you're average.

As for Overton, I just see him as grinder with enormous talent that's found a great home. People forget that even though he's from GA, a lot of these tracks are new to him this year. He was either racing in SGA/Carolina's or on the road. If they chose to run regionally he's going to get bored stacking all those checks.

One of the best races I have seen in a while was last year's Tarheel 50 at Tri-County Racetrack. JD (in Weaver's 116) & Overton (in his 75 Bud car) put on a show / battle for the last 30 laps that was a blast to watch. Both of these guys can drive and they proved it again that night. I would bet that was the night Weaver took note of Overton.. I know the crowd did.

I wish someone would post that video.. I'd like to see it again myself..

I'm confident Barry & JD will get the house car straightened out running better. I still think 430 or 454 CI's of Clements would cure a lot of ills...

If he's an average driver at best, we are really offending a lot of big names out there who finished behind JD. Owens, O'Neal, EPJ, Sheppard, T-Mac, etc, etc...

And I think Owens, and CBR. There was a few who had them. Not sure all who, but yeah he had that. Funny, no one gave Penske the time of day, then Bloomer starts running Penskes and bam, a sh!tload are running Penskes now.

Penske has been one of the premier shock manufacturers, in the world, for a long time. They have done more for Bloomer than the other way around. Selling a few dlm shocks isn't going to move their needle.

Depends which shocks you are talking about. Penske owns the inerter patents. CBR certainly didn't have access to that.

Selling a few dlm shocks isn't going to move their needle.Where did I say anywhere that Bloomer put Penske on the World racing map? He most certainly turned the late model guys on to Penske. Have you seen how many people are running Penske's in late models now, it's a bunch. Of course they helped out Bloomer more, they agreed to work with him and not tell him to p!ss off.

Rogers only been in World racing series for about 40 years, so yes, he has vastly more irons in the fire than dirt cars. Yes, I know who Roger Penske is, and that he has his irons in tons of fires. Very wealthy and smart man who employs smart people.

CBR certainly didn't have access to that.I'm talking about whatever it was that Bloomer had, it was said that Owens, CBR, maybe a few others, were also trying them. Of course Penske has the patent, just as most other things are patented. You pay money, you get access to whatever was patented, at least what that company lets you have access to.

I'm curious, how are you so definitive in your answers, always, are you Ronnie Crooks, Stuckey, Robbie Allen?

My point was that an Integra team will not have Penske only technology. You don't have to have a name in this sport to know things. People will sell their mom in this sport for a dollar. Which is what makes a lot of the fear rules in this sport unnecessary.

There were at least 3 different types of shock technology in play and outlawed at that one time.

Hatfield makes about as good of a motor as any of them. Barry's cars are a little off. Owens and Francis couldn't get them to the front, and JD is doing about the same. can't deny that dude's talent, if they get the car hooked up he'll be OK.

If this is true, why aren't Rumleys racing? Fact is they done what they set out to do, Kevin has a engineering degree, so got a job. If I remember right...LeRoy was over travelling too. I personally don't think the BWRC is the right car for JD, maybe they'll get it figured out. JD is a great driver, would have no problem finding a ride.

He tore up so much sh!t that night cruising the bottom to a 2nd place finish. He ran 2 races last year at atomic, 1st and 2nd place finishes. I don't know why there would be any kind of argument after either of those. This place cracks me up sometimes.

Everyone keeps saying JD turned down the 116 ride. Overton is doing a great job. Up on the wheel every show. I wonder if JD is sorry he didn't take that ride ? If it's true, because Overton is young and he isn't going anywhere, that seat is his .

I would venture a guess that every new "Icon" that is sold has a percentage distributed to someone who's last name isn't Wright.

Basically betting on yourself. If they eventually get this right and get rolling they will sale a ton of cars. Short term return hasn't been good. Long term remains to be seen.
