    Definitely has that Rube Goldberg flair to it. My guess is it was 30% effective on the track and 155% effective at fawking with everyone's minds. As he kept saying...huge distraction.

    This is one of the reasons I'm a big fan of Ben Shelton's. He really is a great interviewer. He interviews the people I want to hear from and asks the right questions. But what really sets him apart is that he lets them talk. In other words, he understands that they are the story, not him.

    It set the competition back, as they wasted time trying to build some crazy stuff, but it 100% was worth serious time on the stopwatch. You have your numbers backwards.

    I have no idea what it actually did. But what an incredibly interesting piece.

    Nice post. Well thought out. You must have done some in-depth research on him? Laugh

    Some folks should just not try using them big people words like that until they themselves have gone beyond an adolescent mindset, maybe?<

    There's been folks on here that said there was no trickery, there was no device, that's like saying Rumley has no clue what he's doing when those of us who know better knew Mr Rumley was indeed the wizard of dirt racing and is still today. Amen!

    The wizard is in a dry spell. So, now he's digging up bones.

    What a waste of 10 min.. “what does it do?” “Solve a problem” “what’s the problem?” “I can’t tell you” “How does it work?” “Word salad”. Kevin is a master of saying nothing. Not that he owes anyone an explanation, I guess more just clickbait on behalf of FLO

    Do you show your hand in a card game when you're pretty sure you have everyone beat?

    the only thing Kevin said was "it disconnects the left rear from the car". One of the comments on the video postulated that it could be to keep the suspension from dropping while getting off the gas to enter corners, therefore keeping the spoiler up in the air and generating downforce.

    Seriously a waste of 10 minutes. A 15 second video with Kevin saying here is "The Device" would have been as much informational as the 10 minutes was. Come on Flo!
