    There was that and Josh started off the year with a bunch of rust, and started to come alive in June/July and finished the year hot, but it was too little too late.

      If I remember correctly, 13-15 A lot driver where leaving rocket. Rocket was falling behind a little. Long horn was turning their program around, can't remember before or after long horn by moyer. Lot people was jumping to them disco chassis. Green started pick up a speed with his chassis. Then Kevin real got the long horns dialed in. Then Kevin had a little to do with new direction of rocket. After that Richards ran with it.

        Baker and Mark are 50/50 partners. Steve handles the shop/production while Mark runs the house car/R&D.

            I can agree with just about all of that as you have refreshed my memory. Only part I have a problem with is the 2nd to last sentence. Not sold on the Rumley bit.

              The Orange Rocket Years were a bad year Josh himself stuck with the Blue Rocket and was sidelined by his medical stuff. Every chassis brand hits on something every now and then that makes everyone go get one. The new Longhorn did change the game it was a car designed dynamically and from a fresh CAD design not redoing a previous year. It worked and yes Rumley did help at Rocket but that doesn't mean much the Orange was a Bloomer copy and that was IMO JUNK. Its all about how you can execute a plan. One year it was MBHs down here in the South, then Longhorns, now Back to Rockets. That's just how it goes. As far as Mark he is smart but Steve is the Brains and Mark is a heck of a businessman. Probably one of the best in the game at getting his product out there

                Only reason I said little, is because Richards did say he in a interview that he paid or got some insights from Kevin. It could be simple suggestion what to change or do. Mark might just need a different view on things. I can't say how much Kevin helped out, but Mark did say openly in public he did help him.

                    After reading some of the comments here, I was glad to learn that Kevin Rumley was the one who invented the wheel!

                      Kevin didn't invent the wheel, but he is re-inventing the way the wheel works and the driver will do the rest!

                        He did not. But he certainly taught a physics lesson to the DLM world.

                              TmacCillini39 JD won all the money in 2015. A couple races had not have rained out at the end of the season and he more than likely wouldn’t have won the Lucas championship. The zero was much better than JD at the end of the season
