    Default Babb and xr1

    Watched the interview from Fals on DoD. Babb was running the club car. And based off interview he didn't sound to happy about the xr1. Hope he gets rolling good again had a slow season so far.

    He's skipping lots of races this year, gotta wonder if the fire is still there.

    Yeah, that interview was a bit tough to hear. He talked about how many different kinds of cars he has back at home, and sounded like he felt like he was in a blender when it comes to having a clear vision of what to do. Also mentioned that the gear that failed was in a rear end that would not have been his choice to have installed in the car if he had built the car himself.

    I hope Shannon can just jump in one brand of car and get it dialed in. Man it would be hard to keep jumping from one car to another, hoping to find speed...

    Yeah he said Lanigan put that car together with used parts. Some guys can jump from one to the next and be good, but alot can't. He said he thinks everyone is talking crap about all this new technology. He had a great year in his older rockets before he went to club 29

    I will probably be crucified for saying this BUT, Babb hasn't been nearly as fast since he left Rayburn.

    Cool Propaganda!

    Actually, I think it's good to see a little fire from Shannon. That interview makes me feel like he will get it going soon. You can certainly hear the frustration beginning to mount in his voice.

    As for the comment about the rear end, that definitely referred to the Club 29. He was fairly strong in the XR1 at Eldora. I think he does like that car. Been plagued by engine problems and sorting these cars out this year. 2 good runs at LaSalle and I believe he would've cashed the check at FALS on Saturday----who knows. Wishing him and the team all the best.

    Go 18!!

    Chris dad said after the race it was all chris. The adatude of the car was still not right but chris just got up on the wheel and drove the wheels off the car.

    Ferguson has always been fast, even in the warrior's he was fast. He just has all the bad luck. Glad to see him run good the last couple years.. I'm sure Babb will get it figured out

    I don't think Darrell put the car together with used parts. Babb was saying Darrell used parts he himself didn't typically use.

    It's the same car he won the topless with last year.

    That's the way I heard it Z. Babb said it wasn't the brand He would have chosen. Nothing about being used. That statement was also made in the heat of the moment.

    Yeah I don't remember him saying they were used parts just the parts Darrell put on the car.

    Yes they were. With Moyer and Babb and Erb behind the wheel, Rayburns surely have won more Hell Tour races than any other chassis by a long shot.
