    Congrats team CJ1. Glad to see Rusty get a finish he deserved. He made some new fans this weekend for sure. I talked to an engine tech guy in the pits and he could not believe that car was a rayburn in second place.

        Goes to show that there isn't a lot of difference in chassis, it's all about suspension, tires, and shocks, not to mention Rusty is a heck of a driver.

          If you don't want a bad luck tire, you get on the cushion smooth and roll it. No flat for Babb, one of the best at a cushion. Bang it and get that bad luck tire.

            We ran the new stuff at the beginning of 2016, long before the rumley visit. Rusty started running it last year. It's all Rayburn stuff and it is good

                  No. We are not going to a non linkage suspension unless rule makers want to slow the cars down.

                      How many thought CJ was done ? He knows how to build a car. I believe if he wants back on the map, he is than capable.

                        What people fail to realize is any type suspension will do anything a different one will. The problems come from ease of adjustment and room. I have heard CJ say a few years ago that a leaf spring may come back. I will say you will never rip a panhard bar perch out with a leaf spring. Toughest lateral locator there is.

                          True, a lot of racers can still learn somethings, he knew in the 70s. Never heard him call it polar moment but he did it. Almost every racer learned something from him. The laws of physics don't change, just the applications.

                            Let’s slow down for 1 second. I like the underdog as long as the zero isn’t there. Weiss had the best car if the cushion is not a factor. I will say Rusty is worthy of a shot and if he doesn’t produce then back to the Rayburn cars. Rusty was lapped traffic in Florida. Any car that will turn into a corner and get the RR to the cheat code (as I call it) has a chance. Car looked good but no way he competes on a dry slick track against the big dogs. A cushion had made many of races interesting and broke the hopes for others. I pull for Rusty but he needs a shot at a ride that can compete and run top 1-7week in and out. He had a good run this weekend and surprised many but slow down. CJ isn’t anywhere near national tour level!

                              Rusty won last week on a slick Mississippi track that was blacked over after hot laps. And passed a fast Tyler Erb to do it. True story...
