Looks like the newer Longhorn cars are better at racing on more of the track surface. Rice, Erb and Bronson had no right spoiler left and they were the guys running the top tonight, and all in Rockets.

I’ve seen Erb win this year running high, low, and middle. Rice and Bronson are going to bang the cushion every chance they get. You may have a legit theory, but I’m not sure those three are the best examples of it.
The top three cars were moving well in any lane on the track and all Longhorns. There's just something about the way they turn. Rockets look to my amateur eyes like they need to be a little sideways in corners to have any speed.
Terbo and Bronson are throttle mashers and will drive wherever the car is best at.
But when they got it right (especially early before the cushion shrunk and they could keep it off the wall), their corner exit speed was brutalQuote:

I remember when Davenport put on an absolute clinic, rolling the middle, in a GR Smith Rocket, at the World 100.
I am still baffled as to why the Rocket 1 car was not there chasing 50K and learning how to get better.
Oh wait, it was a Lucas race. So dumb!
Rocket1 has run 15 Lucas races on the season. That’s hardly ducking the Lucas tour. They haven’t run the N/S in years because it’s a rare weekend off in the middle of the season right after their most brutal travel stretch.Quote:

Rocket1 hasn't been there since like 2009. Weiss (former winner) Madden (former winner) wasn't there.
Realistically if you look at their schedule. The off weekends they've had 1 weekend was the double dream, the other weekend was the Show Me. Other than the rainout June 18-19th and a small break in the middle of May. They've been on the road since April 23rd.
Lame!! They have more resources than anyone out there. Race!
Yeah, the heck with missing your family right?Quote:

I remember that too since it was about the only time I saw someone win anything there driving that lane.Quote:
