[MI Dirt Fan]

He stays in 49 car w his crew chief if they run in 2019

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

[thexfactor0210]

That is supposed to mean marlar is driving the 6?

[Josh Bayko]

Kevin is a grade A troll on social media. Ya’ll know that, right?

[MI Dirt Fan]

Yeah but it would seem odd to put someone's name out there like that and have it not be true. If it wasn't true would Marlar be ok with that? It would almost be like trolling Marlar also. We're gonna write your name on this here little piece of aluminum to get people guessing but sorry we're aren't going to have you drive one of our cars. Hope your ok with it.

[ImCryn2]

If That's the case; where does Davenport go?

The #6 is Rumleys car, not Landers. At least at this point. Perhaps LeRoy is getting the itch.

[waaac77]

So if true does Marlar run the Lucas tour next year?

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

No touring series for marlar. Thats why the other deal fell thru. Hes to buzy to run full schedule

[hucktyson]

If this is true why is it a big deal ? Marlar is one of the absolute best drivers in the country. Delk had him in the best of the best equipment and he won a lot of races and a woo title ... no matter who he drivers for he’s going to win a bunch of races as long as he has good stuff....

[RaceEngineer]

I will believe it when I see it.

[Tireguy17]

I bet KR was refreshing the 4M to see how long it took for his post to make it on here. Well played KR

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

I will believe it when I see it.

Lol you should know!

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Everyone is getting awful worked up over a Rumley troll job with a totally staged photo. I guess he carries the device with him at all times so folks recognize him?

Actually, he does carry the device with him. I've held it in my hands at I-80 in '16.

[Hoosier_Dirt]

Marlar to run selected events with Rumleys. Will be a potent combination!

[Kwd1253]

That the truth. I can see marlar finally winning one the following dream, dtwc, dirt million or world 100 next year.

[t3r3e3]

That the truth. I can see marlar finally winning one the following dream, dtwc, dirt million or world 100 next year.

Historically, Marlar’s been a midpack car at Eldora and Portsmouth. Eldora in particular has given him fits come feature time. Maybe Kevin and Lee Roy can help change that. And maybe Carl will move the DTWC back to WV. Tyler County or I-77 would be a nice change.

[Pennsboro23]

It's funny because Marlar has ran first and second the past two times he's been to Tyler County in bigger races but rarely comes up to race here...wish he would more often.

Cornett same as marlar ran w delk

Longhorn/cornett

[Dlmfan123]

I’m gonna guess delks support will be the motors seeing there running the cornetts

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Could be true on delks contribution

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

You can often tell a lot from the classified ads. Like how Dream Weaver had English's car for sale. Or how he had multiple Hoffman cars for sale. Or how the 157 turnkey car now doesn't have an engine.

[Mason87]

Doesn't Rumley build his own engines or is he not doing that this time?

[Hoosier_Dirt]

He is not doing it this time. Will run Cornetts

[Mason87]

OK thanks, wish them all the best. Marlar is a top notch driver and man.

[MI Dirt Fan]

Didnt they get a Cornett from G.R Smith and run in the #49? Did they finish the season with Cornett?

[Tireguy17]

Article also said Kevin is stepping away from the 49 to run the 6 with his dad, get off the road full time, and get a job.

[vadirtfan]

Will they be running longhorns?

[Hoosier_Dirt]

Yes,Longhorn chassis.

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Yes and yes they switched to cornett after they bought gr's

[MI Dirt Fan]

But Andy Durham was still Lucas series engine builder of the year

[MI Dirt Fan]

I see he posted another pic trolling his homemade engineering "device". Like no one's ever designed and built anything "in house" before. lol

They havent with the affect "the device" had and for that cheap.

[Scott Boesel]

I Remember when Marlar and Doar back in 2011 at the black diamond 125 put on one of the best races I have ever seen. Marlar didn’t win it but he can wheel it at Tyler county for sure

[Krooser]

Actually, he does carry the device with him. I've held it in my hands at I-80 in '16.

My ex carried a device with her at all times but it sure didn't look like that!

[jcotton02]

Everybody wants to say how cheap that device was and maybe the design itself was. now factor in the cost of the shocks that it took to use it!

[RaceEngineer]

Everybody wants to say how cheap that device was and maybe the design itself was. now factor in the cost of the shocks that it took to use it!Once again, that was cheap too. It actually made putting the correct shocks on the lr easier. And a Penske costs the same regardless of how you valve it.

[Krooser]

I doubt that the $10k guys are spending today for a set of shocks is any cheaper... for many i would think they spend as much, or more, on shocks during a season as they do on engines.

I shake my head when I see the "economy" shocks are only $3995.00 a set...

The LR is a sandwich of crutches. So, the shocks are extreme to try and cope. Rumley recognized this and came up with a clever way to fix it.

[hucktyson]

16k to freshen a Spread bore after 900 laps .. if it doesn’t need a crank or rods .... add fuel and oil to that and tell me with a straight face shocks cost as much as motors .... if you check deck height after the race you can’t pin the right front to the ground or hold the left rear up as you will fail tech .... But by all means let’s pretend it’s stupid to check Decks the way they did for 20 years ....

[Barbecueboy]

So we want the officials to revert back to the way they used to do it???

Like they did with tires before the imposed testing farce began???

Like it.

[RaceEngineer]

So we want the officials to revert back to the way they used to do it??? Like they did with tires before the imposed testing farce began???Like it.Yup. A lot of fixes are simple. Go back to what worked. The history of DLM is littered with rules and rule enforcement changes to let rule breakers be legal again. We change the ruler instead of the offending car. It's insane. Then we create new rules to make what was always legal, illegal. Again, insane.

Exactly!! We have had several rear suspension designs over the years and there was no issue until a guy named Rumley found something that was better than the norm. Meanwhile engine costs have almost tripled over the last 10 years and nothing is done about it, simply because of the money the builders give to the sanctioning bodies in the form of advertising, etc.
