    He’s probably just trying to get rid of Jimmy’s Longhorns.

    I don't think it's fishy when he just bought out a Longhorn guy. What's fishy is when a touring guy gets a new car and runs it 3 times and sells it. Then he buys the same brand again.

    They’ve never been able to build two cars the same. I’d say after covid the quality of metal has gone way down. Makes for more stinkers

    I've heard lots of horror stories about the Longhorn build process. I just don't get it. I guess they aren't using Docol? That's supposed to fix the metal variation issues.

    I didn't think anyone was using docol anymore. Warrior is the only chassis company I see advertising it. I run CVR Chassis and had a docol and can confirm that it was absolute junk, and Chip would agree. He went back to moly in 19 and found speed again. He said after 10 to 20 races a docol car was done.

    Docol is basically a rolled and welded moly slab. What's the science that makes it no good?

    A chassis is just supposed to locate everything in space. That means relative to the suspension stiffness, those location points should not be moving around in space because of loads. I'm pretty sure when small changes make the car "junk", it wasn't stiff enough to start with and we simply found away to work around the flaw.

    Since we are into the rumors, it was said when a certain longhorn that had Lucas across the front of it and he left for team 46 it was because they could not get a good chassis from horn. I was told it really matters who is welding the car.

    The XR1 that won $1+ mil was a docol car. Rocket1 ran that car for a silly amount of races and it didn't lose a step.

    Pearson was in the black diamond house car before going to Papich #46.

    With Hudson winning some races over fields full of Longhorn's, how long before you see others change?

    Does the back of hudson's spoiler just say rocket now ? I thought I saw it and it did not read xr-1.

    It hasn’t said XR1 on the spoiler in a while, if ever.

    There's a more diverse field of Longhorns winning races.

    Looking at the results regionally and nationally, I don’t think that’s true.

    They are all docol but I believe pierce actually had the first docol car. If I remember correctly I think Bob said the car he won the world 100 with was docol
