    Were the 15 drivers in the same set up as jd in his glory year? Danica could have wheeled that thing... Probly better lol.

      He still has the car and the toter why don't you call him and go set in it and see what you can do? I mean its easy right he can even put the device back on for you.

          Wrong. So wrong ? If JD had Rumley turning wrenches on his BWRC ICON I feel you would see him doing better than what he has so far this season. You cann't say the car he is in currently is as good. Forget about the 5.00 Rumley device. They are struggling with set up. So the 6 car is sitting idle ? Makes no sense what so ever ? Maybe rumley's are the problem ! It is dirt racing.

            One could make the argument that before Davenport got in the 6 car it was average on the national level.It has been a quality ride forever but I don't think Shaver or anyone else ever put together a monster year driving it.JD won a lot of races before he ever sat in the seat of the 6 car.I will wait on the it was all because of the gadget comments.

              It's amazing how far out of the ballpark some of your perspectives are. JD was one of the 5 best drivers in the country from a pure talent standpoint before he ever got in the 6 car.
              When Kevin decided to start helping the family-owned team FULL TIME and they put JD in the 6, that team became a major player. Many factors there including their association with Longhorn and the"device" (which we won't even get into since most of you don't even know what it is) made them nearly unbeatable that season. Imagine how many races they would have won if Bloomer had not been on tour.
              Now JD is with Barry Wright and they are struggling. But this shouldn't be a surprise to anybody. Barry Wright's cars seem to struggle on the national level as compared to the other top builders right now. Like most builders, they will turn it around at some point. This sport goes in cycles and these cycles affect drivers, teams, builders, etc. What Rumley/Longhorn/JD did for one season is catch all three at peak performance.
              That's the bottom line!

                Correct me if I'm wrong, but...did Bloomer ever have something similar to Rumleys gadget. He only lost the title by 55 points, I think. If the last 2 races hadn't got rained out, he most likely would have won the title.

                  I thought the 6 car got bought by a team down in Ga? So it's still sitting?

                      Based on the butt whooping JD administered at Charlotte? That is pure speculation.

                        I don't think Bloomer ever did. His car never looked like it. I saw a few cars that looked like they were onto it. I saw some stuff under cars that wasn't it. I don't think there were many onto it at the end of 2015. I think there are a lot of people that think they know now, but still don't.

                          Didn't the zero have a shock package that he and the 44 had from mid-end of 2014? Seems like I remember some rule changes at that seasons end.

                            He had some or all of the stuff that got outlawed at the end of 2014.
