    Who else was running The Rumley Device?

    Who else was running The Rumley Device at the time when Davenport was running it? Anything that can make a dirt car that much faster is an awesome invention. The problem I see when I watched some of the video clips of JD winning, is that when he passed guys for the lead, he put half a straightaway on them. He should of just lifted a little, and it wouldn't of been so obvious that the device was working so good.

    Jesse Stovall had something close to it but not the exact same device.

      there was quite a few people after around may 2015 that did a dang good job copying it, everyone said they had to do quite a bit of testing to get it to work anywhere close. You also have to remember, it was NOT illegal at all in 2015. in 2016 it was outlawed by the rules committee before florida speedweeks. 2014 inerter shocks were the legal speed source of bloomer and others that got banned in 2015.

        The 6 was the only car that had the actual device. Lots of guys tried replicating it, and some got pretty close, but none of them experienced anywhere near the same success.

                  It was on Facebook I'm sure of.
                  Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                      Or you can just get on rumleys Twitter and it's on there. Shouldn't have been outlawed. Racing to me is making your car faster than others and that's exactly what they did

                          So fast, she has to keep her legs crossed.

                            I have one on my Buick, too. That, along with the Tornado electric supercharger and some Teflon oil additive, have made me the fastest guy in the retirement home parking lot.
