Hmmmm...missed opportunity? Last night mustve been the shakedown session. Lmao 1st and 3rd tonight, oh yeah thats it tech guy showed up. lmao Anybody that is changing chassis should get a few test in to get the feel for it duh lmao

Am I really the only one that didn't expect the car to blow out the field the first night out?.....
WTH.... I heard ,after Thurs nites fiasco, he had ordered a new Longhorn! :)
He must have bolted on a "special" set of them Hoosier tars.....it couldn't have anything to do with that new chassis though....roll eyes...afterall its just a bunch of steel welded together! lol
Jimmy ......longhorn.....?
I think you missed my point. If you were a prominent car builder like Rocket and one of probably the top 5 active drivers in dlm had been struggling and switched to your car, wouldn't you make an extra effort to make sure he looks good out of the box? That's all I'm saying, we all know the XR-1's can be fast, but like every car built its gotta have the right setup before it can reach its full potential, no matter who is driving. I'm not saying put your own money into it, but make sure he's got the hot setup, it only makes you look that much better. I would.
Jason Feger was looking pretty sporty in his heat Thursday, what kind of car does he have now? Kinda hate he quit building his own stuff, it seem to work real good.
Wow, Jimmy looked really good last night, just watched it on DoD. He's a sharp chassis guy I knew he'd get it figured out, I guess the car just needed a few tweaks to be wright and a motor change...(LOL) Congrats on a strong run, keep the momentum going into tonight. The O-Show is Back!
Moyer was looking pretty good and The Real Deal was on a mission, wow.
When did Owens change engine builders? And that Rocket tweak seems to really work since he was the last car on the lead lap both Thursday and Saturday. Yep, he's back alright. If he's so smart with chassis, then why the need to be in his third chassis brand in 2.5 years?
Did I say anywhere in anything I posted ever he was going to now be Bloomer with the switch to an XR1? Nope. Could he do much worse, not really. He had to change, is this the right move, I dunno. But he has for the most part run like sh!t. If he'd switched to Longhorn, would you be so critical of the switch?
It's obvious Jimmy doesn't have the car set up as good as Josh's yet. Owens had to run the top most of the night where as Josh's car sticks to the middle night after night. Give the O Show time. He'll figure it out. Guaranteed.
I think if they can hit the setup and get his driving style and the car to work together it will be a pretty good pair just will take a few races
I think one of the worst thing is a chassis builder is to have a house car. 1. They are always going to be accused of not giving their customers the same set up as the house car especially if the house driver is their son. 2. They will start building cars to fit the house driver instead of what most customers need. Yes they need a car for testing but not competing against their paying customers.
