Good for JD
I hope JD has good luck in the 22 car. Shame the BW car never became consistent.
Of course he'll never have a 2015 season again. Without scouring over stats, I too think it's probably the best season ever. Though Bloomer or Moyer, may have had one comparable. If he gets Rumley back that'd be even better. We shall see. A Rocket car and Cornett power, a winning combo. Good luck to JD.Up in the air who my next “favorite†driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normalâ€.

All of the people in this thread (and on the entire internet in general) saying anything negative about JD are ignorant. He is a wheel man, he made a bad choice (to go with BWRC over the Weaver team) and he paid the consequences. Drivers like Richards or Bloomquist would struggle to make a BWRC car work well at high profile races. To say he was not at an equipment disadvantage to the Bloomquist/Rocket/Longhorn, etc. chassis would be crazy. I hope he lights it up in GRs car, and hopefully he lands a full time ride in some excellent equipment and gets back out there because he is a great racer, and DLM racing is much better off with him wheeling some good equipment.
Thanks,
Jeff.

Were all talking about Jd, I'm more concerned with where the Wright's will go driver wise. They couldn't make it work at Bowyers after 14, the Owens deal looked promising at first, but ended up being a flop. I'm even surprised this deal with Jd didn't go so well. Barry has been around just s long as anyone, and had success.
What's next for the bwrc guys go next?

I think Rumley proved that just because you are a legend in the sport doesn't mean that you can or will be relevant again today. A lot has changed in 20-30 years. You either have to be willing to learn or willing to hire somebody that knows how to work all of this new technology. The "legends" aren't stupid, and I don't think that intelligence should be measured by your ability to understand what a computer tells you, but that is just the way it is going.

Losing their biggest sponsor and that input of $$ right before the season began had them behind from the beginning.They needed to win and win quickly to get money to go forward and that didn't happen.The car has been very fast at times but never at the finish when it mattered.Just my take on the subject.

I still feel Barry needs to step out and get some help on these cars. It's sad to say, but as one old 4m member would call them, "dem college boys" have kinda came in and taken over. I have nothing against having minds like that in the sport, but ever since Kevin basically rebuilt longhorn on his own, look at what the sport has become. Scott went and got the help of Randy Sweet and his technology, and it was rumored Kevin had his paws in on the xr1s deal. Now if he really did or not, who knows. One thing is for certain, you cannot do the things you done 10 years ago far as developing these cars and stay anywhere near the top. Those are the top 3 selling and winning frames out there now. I think it would f'n awesome if of these old school builders could make something to put a hurting on of those 3, I just don't see it.
Or just do what everyone else does when they get behind. Go have a driver buy one of those and copy it. Barry don't seem like that type of guy though. I'm sure his mind and ideas are right, but just getting the stars lined up is harder than it was back then.
Regardless, I hope we keep seeing cars with bwrc on the spoiler.Last edited by zyoung25; 08-03-2017, 05:09 PM.

The 49 has already replaced the 22 on GR's ride. Looking forward to seeing the results this weekend and I'll be in Florence to see it in person next weekend. I'm sure there is a bit of relief from JD. He is excited to get into the XR1 Cornett.
