rumley LR

[thinkstomuch]

Read the DOD article and it reminds of the suspension deal on the LR in 2015. Does anyone actually know what they were doing, I mean they never really announced it? Then at the end of 15' it sounded like they could build the same thing even with the new lucas rules but it would cost more. Did they? if so what happened, did others get it too or find another way to the same deal.

For the 2017 plans, they are gonna step back some and run shows they want to. I'd imagine a schedule like they ran with Steve Shaver is pretty likely.

Any rumors of who they will select as a driver for 2017?????

[Mantis]

Drivers.

They mention the possibility of working with multiple drivers.

Pop rumley is retiring from racing. Kevin is going to work for someone. Jd is teamed up w bwrc for 2017. Prolly only a select few local races for the #6 if they run any.

From the DoD article it doesn't sound like Leroy is ready to retire....Just slow down.

Do you know who is Kevin going to work for?

[justtktk]

Rocket!!! The R in XR is for Rumley! Put your XR-1 on a Longhorn jig.. Identical!

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Do you know who is Kevin going to work for?

No i do not. I was told that pop was ready to retire and the equiptment is his and that kevin was going to work for somebody but they didnt specify and i dnt ask.

Now if they run a few races in 2017 idk.

I only know bits and pieces here and there.

Why arent you hunting?

calverton "listen to bshepp from the DTWC on DOD" --- All I heard was tires and XR1 unless I'm def and can't hear between the lines

[dirty-white-boy]

You would have thought Bloomer drove for them by the comment "when you have the best driver in the country". Rumley found something using his brain that worked and DOMINATED with it. Now they are back to a level playing field and not on top every night they would rather quit and move on. Suck it up Sally! JD is a great wheelman BUT hes not a consistent one. Just watch Bloomer's car and his at the same time and you will see what i mean. But yea im sure its the car and not the driver! lol

[modman1010]

Look what a bloomer car did for landers lol can't say the cars aren't superior to others

They were bluffing. Lucas blindly applied enough random rules to stop them.

If they're identical I would think that the Longhorns would have run better this year.

They did run well. Tuning is worth a lot more than the collection of welded tubes though. Richards car is tuned much better than the typical xr1.

Proper tuning is the key to making any chassis work well. The guys that are relentless about doing their homework until they get the car they want it will always be faster than the guys that just follow whatever setup book they get when they purchase a car.
