    That's a cool pic for sure. Really highlights the progression of DLM technology.

    That's what I noticed not exact but pretty close in resemblance to the longhorn. I hope there not a fluke hoping ROCKET gets back to the top on the national level

    I guess the flat plate cross member is for clearance? It has alot of interesting features for sure.....You can tell where they are having flex and not having flex......I'm not sure I notice all the structure features on the car but I notice alot on it. not that I understand all of them. I don't really get why they are moving the cages back to the right. Polar Moment?

    So can you still buy a blue/gray or black front Rocket? Or is this it?

    What I notice is the halo bar is back to the old style, a least from what rockets were....

    cars are running flatter and not hiking up so much,or as much as they used to,there getting so close to asphalt its not funny,on your front end, jig up an asphalt car (mounting points)then check a new dirt front end,they will be very close,also a few people are starting to understand wheel load and how to achieve it and frame strength is going to be a huge factor in the years to come also

    I believe what he meant front ends are calmer and not all jacked up 3 wheeling. The noses and front ends are down more to seal off air.
    I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.
