By "qualified", do you mean he has enough mental capacity to not over inflate a tire and destroy everything in it's path? LOL Sorry, you left that door wide open.

Not EVERY post. I enjoy razzing the 0 nut huggers. They generally don't have anything nice to say about anyone that competes with Scott. I put that type of fan in the same category as St Louis Cardinal and Green Bay Packer fans. It's not that I don't agree the Cards, Packers and Bloomer are good, it's that the fans act like every other team or competitor sucks......

I hope JD has good luck in the 22 car. Shame the BW car never became consistent.

Of course he'll never have a 2015 season again. Without scouring over stats, I too think it's probably the best season ever. Though Bloomer or Moyer, may have had one comparable. If he gets Rumley back that'd be even better. We shall see. A Rocket car and Cornett power, a winning combo. Good luck to JD.

All of the people in this thread (and on the entire internet in general) saying anything negative about JD are ignorant. He is a wheel man, he made a bad choice (to go with BWRC over the Weaver team) and he paid the consequences. Drivers like Richards or Bloomquist would struggle to make a BWRC car work well at high profile races. To say he was not at an equipment disadvantage to the Bloomquist/Rocket/Longhorn, etc. chassis would be crazy. I hope he lights it up in GRs car, and hopefully he lands a full time ride in some excellent equipment and gets back out there because he is a great racer, and DLM racing is much better off with him wheeling some good equipment.

Thanks,
Jeff.

Were all talking about Jd, I'm more concerned with where the Wright's will go driver wise. They couldn't make it work at Bowyers after 14, the Owens deal looked promising at first, but ended up being a flop. I'm even surprised this deal with Jd didn't go so well. Barry has been around just s long as anyone, and had success.

What's next for the bwrc guys go next?

I think Rumley proved that just because you are a legend in the sport doesn't mean that you can or will be relevant again today. A lot has changed in 20-30 years. You either have to be willing to learn or willing to hire somebody that knows how to work all of this new technology. The "legends" aren't stupid, and I don't think that intelligence should be measured by your ability to understand what a computer tells you, but that is just the way it is going.

Losing their biggest sponsor and that input of $$ right before the season began had them behind from the beginning.They needed to win and win quickly to get money to go forward and that didn't happen.The car has been very fast at times but never at the finish when it mattered.Just my take on the subject.

I still feel Barry needs to step out and get some help on these cars. It's sad to say, but as one old 4m member would call them, "dem college boys" have kinda came in and taken over. I have nothing against having minds like that in the sport, but ever since Kevin basically rebuilt longhorn on his own, look at what the sport has become. Scott went and got the help of Randy Sweet and his technology, and it was rumored Kevin had his paws in on the xr1s deal. Now if he really did or not, who knows. One thing is for certain, you cannot do the things you done 10 years ago far as developing these cars and stay anywhere near the top. Those are the top 3 selling and winning frames out there now. I think it would f'n awesome if of these old school builders could make something to put a hurting on of those 3, I just don't see it.

Or just do what everyone else does when they get behind. Go have a driver buy one of those and copy it. Barry don't seem like that type of guy though. I'm sure his mind and ideas are right, but just getting the stars lined up is harder than it was back then.

Regardless, I hope we keep seeing cars with bwrc on the spoiler.

Jeff- id like to know your definition of good equipment. you think Scott hasn't sat in that icon and made a few laps and told ole Barry just what he thought about it? how about randy sweet building parts for it himself and sending them test pieces? you realize scott and Barry and randy are all old buddies right? did you forget longhorn replaced JD with mccreadie last year? did you know JD went to Barry asking for this bad choice? did you miss where JD started at the tail of the showme and finished 5th that's pretty high profile since they said they would run local shows and biguns if they wanted to. are blomquist & Richards & shepp tops right now, yea and that can all fall off next week and not come back for months or years. if it does are you gonna saythey have bad equipment and made poor decisions too? of course not because they all have big money and your local area chassis builder behind them so it can't be that to cause it. To be so in the kno on every thing I'm letdown you don't know it takes more than that to make a successful season


Mccreadie did not replace jd in the house car. Jd was never the house car. Justin labonte was the house car.

Why in the hell would the Rumley's let the 6 car sit for the world ? Labonte's got help from Rumley and JD both, can you blame them ? NO. JD went with the ICON because everyone said , all you trolls, that he had a hand in the design of the car. Great, but BW owned it and if it was going to sit for a couple weeks I'm sure that did not sit well with JD and he said I'm out of here. He's a racer, he wants to be on track, you learn when your on track, not sitting at home on twitter. Let's see how fast Barry puts someone in that seat. Personally, I don't believe he will.

Thanks,
Jeff.I disagree on your whole argument. It was NOT a bad choice to go with BWRC, Barry builds a fine car. What went wrong was the sponsor that bailed at last minute and then they ended having to go with an unproven powerplant while simultaneously trying to R&D a new chassis design. Sure the Weaver team was "Plug n' Play", but BWRC was where he WANTED to go and with good reason, they've had a lot of success and have a good relationship. They did struggle with the car early, but as of late they had good speed and were up front leading races, just had lots bad luck too. There last time out with the super they were fast, but blew and engine and then KO'd the backup car in the same night. I firmly believe had the sponsorship money been there the way it was promised when the deal was struck we wouldn't be having this conversation. They could've focused on the car alone, ran the Clements Power they were use to and that's practically next door to BWRC. I wish JD the best of luck, he is a wheelman regardless of the car he sits in, but the circumstances were at fault, not the car, the driver or the crew chief. Hate to see him in a Rocket though, but their Longhorn copy should do well for him.

Yes, we all know you dislike Rocket for whatever reason, but you do realize Longhorn paid Kevin to make their Ski-Doo's actually drive? And that's 100% fact.

All the speculation that he helped Rocket is just that. Until someone gets Kevin or Mark to say yeah I helped design the XR1, it just BS. And even if he did, guess what, no different than what Longhorn did to be able to actually sell cars.

You own a business, your job is to make money and a product that your customers are satisfied with. I'd say they are pretty satisfied with Rockets right now. The so called copies are leading WoO and Lucas points. If they are just a copy, they cannot be as a good as the original, and therefore should be getting smoked in both series by TMac and Madden.

All the speculation that he helped Rocket is just that. Until someone gets Kevin or Mark to say yeah I helped design the XR1, it just BS. And even if he did, guess what, no different than what Longhorn did to be able to actually sell cars.

You own a business, your job is to make money and a product that your customers are satisfied with. I'd say they are pretty satisfied with Rockets right now. The so called copies are leading WoO and Lucas points. If they are just a copy, they cannot be as a good as the original, and therefore should be getting smoked in both series by TMac and Madden.

In a dod article, Mark admitted he had hired Kevin for some consulting work.

First and foremost. Mark Richards , Steve Baker are not 2 dummies. They have pushed the change in chassis development like no other. I DO NOT KNOW. How many chassis changes thru blue, black, orange and on and on. Baker ran for how many years at ppms. Big,fast 1/2 mile. Where they learned what the car wanted. Mark currently has 2 house cars out there and he wants both of those titles. Right now I think longhorn, rocket and club 29 have the biggest presence on a race to race basis.

this is true BBQ , and for the coping issue, i dont think any builder copies some ones design tube for tube and bend for bend , most look at other chassis and see ideas they can incorporate into there existing design , its been that way from the beginning.......

Every race  you full of your self.. there was lot races he rode the hub and middle of the track while him rumley was together. You blame JD for him split. Then who driving in Rumley car right now? Why does rumley still have jd's # 49 under the 6? Since you know every thing about the split. 

You're kidding right? Rumley constantly talked about the costs of running the series, even while having a historic season. I was surprised to see them even run in 2016.

Won half a million dollars and the car owner pulled out because of a few bent spoilers? Please. They all look good in victory lane, even with the spoiler and door hanging off. He didn't tear up near as much as Pierce does, but same thing there. I'm sure they don't mind doing body work when he is running up front.

Exactly, not sure why Booby even puts a quarter on the RR. GoinBezerk always overlooks the fact that Rumley himself said he felt like the series turned on them and singled them out for extra scrutiny. Add to that their main sponsor pulled out and that he never intended to be a full-time touring team. They had a goal, they accomplished it in 2015 by crushing everyone, ran 2nd in 2016 and quit, mission accomplished. Next chapter.

Well i'm not a big Bloomquist fan but you want to talk about series turning on someone and being singled out for extra scrutiny Bloomquist could write an on going set of books on that starting clean back to the Hav-A-Tampa days.
Thing is it motivates him and he always comes back stronger making them look like fools.

Nah. Not really. 2015 was the year the whole thought process concerning rules changed. They completely rewrote the rule book.

I don't doubt one bit he didn't say something. I'd imagine you had the majority of Lucas drivers b!tching, as well as the WoO. He was also about the only one who was in JD's zip code.

Since you went there, don't ya think we have seen how much it helped? The thing people downplayed so much. And I don't dislike JD and think he is a dang good driver. But I can't say I wouldn't have b!tched to if I wasn't put in that same position.

Bloomer hasn't experienced anything like that.They haven't changed multiple things over the years because he's caught on to something?

I agree they did a serious overhaul, because they got caught with their panties down. And Rumley stuck it to them. And they had to try and not leave near as many gray areas. I know you don't agree with the rule changes they made, but personally, they need more of some sort. And not ones purely said to save money, because that never pans out.

And of course they singled out Kevin. Because when they were made to look like fools, they got butt hurt.

I can think of very few instances where rules changed because of Bloomquist's performance. And not once, was it something he build with his own hands using common tools.

All they have now is a rulebook too massive to enforce. Too few people with the knowledge to enforce it. And, they have proven unwilling to enforce it in the instances it has been challenged by teams, to this point.
