Jimmy Owens to Rocket

[Barbecueboy]

You mean to tell me that the guy that ive been rooting for all these yrs has been running cheater tars BBQ? well d@mnit im gonna have to change drivers now wtf LMAO....

He even ran them on his big wheels as a kid.........once a dirty cheater, always a dirty cheater........right chickies???

I suspect Heinz 57, husker and umpskirt have all the details......they are the foremost authority on tires....cheaters....and most of all magic 8 balls.

It's THE source for reliable and accurate info on anything tires don't ya know.

Are we all sure that they didn't just get an XR1 Rocket for research and development purposes? Just sayin'.

He did that exact thing once before. Got a Barry Wright to see what was up with it. Could be doing it again with the rocket.

[gorj]

Just to be clear Jimmy will be in a Rocket XR1 at Florence.

Thanks Kelley

[Kromulous]

Who owns the Rocket, Jimmy or is he back with Reece?

I will expect him to be really fast in the XR1, depending on the powerplant of course. The cars i've seen all roll around Florence nicely.

He needs to get back with Bloomquist, and speaking of, i think these races (all 80k worth) all belong to the Zero anyway.

[Necrosis]

Is he still going to be running Custom powerplants?

[Aces&Eights]

I didn't realize he had better numbers in the club 29 than he did in the bloomquist.......that's a shocker.

He didn't, whoever thinks that was high on peyote.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

I'll give you guys a hint on how many x-r1s owens is getting number is between 4 -6

Think you need to make up your mind wether you're full of sh!t or not. And saying 4-6 tells me you're full of sh!t. You aren't going to switch brands and buy 4-6 to start with. You're going to get 1-2 to see if it's even what you want outta a car.

Bloomquist chassis-Reece sponsorship-Fox crew chief-Cornett engines... will we ever see the 20 get back to the success he had with that combinatiion????

That's a really tall order as Jimmy was almost unbeatable back when he was winning 3 titles but...
I expect him to finally be competitive again in the Rocket.

[nuff said]

Performance seemed to start dropping of after Fox left,he was the straw that stirred the drink for that team imo.

Jimmy to xr1 = success bottom line

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Jimmy will run as good as the info he gets. He would tear it up in the car Richards drives. He wouldn't do any better in the car Carrier lost.

Still R&W on the hood, and still custom power under the hood.

[Barbecueboy]

Would love to see some Cornett thunder bolted back under that thing.....

[NormP]

I don't pay the bills for any teams and I don't drive, but if I did, I would run either Cornett or Clements, hands down. I know there are lots of strong engines out there, but those two brands seem to be reliable and at the top, year in and year out.

[toast]

The only thing Norma ever said that made sense, Cornett motors are as good as you can get, But they are expensive!! But on the other hand all motors are expensive. I seen a check back in 2008 for 2 Cornett motors, I could have bought a small farm!

I get you don't like Rocket for whatever reason, but Josh has been tearing it up as well. And most of the guys with XR1's like them and are running well. I think Mark and Josh will give him info. He's a valuable asset on the other series.

Carrier who I like a lot, had waayyyy more issues than just the car. Not sure how you're going to compare Eddies terrible running, with every other Rocket. But since it fits your opinion, I guess so.

[dirtdobber45]

Im not a big Rocket fan but I am a big O-show fan, have watched him since he started out in a street stock. A very nice guy to talk to and one heck of a driver...best of luck. Like to see him and Bloomer go 1 2 the rest of the year

[dirtdobber45]

Hes 15th fastest tonight..in group A
