    Good for you, did JD shower before you had your alone time last night?

    I knew there was a conspiracy against JD, and his low budget team, Durham was definitely out to get him.
    Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

      JD tends to run the top and drive harder into the corners and try to carry more momentum. In contrast, some drivers like Bloomer tend to run the middle or bottom more. That probably affects what type of engine works better for a particular driver. I think Bloomer is better at precisely feathering the throttle. He's a master of throttle control and keeping the car hooked up and straight. Maybe drivers like him can utilize a stronger engine better and others might need something a little more tame, otherwise they're lighting up the tires more. it might be that a Durham is just too much motor for JD.

        JD can handle all the motor in the world. But when he punches the gas he wants it NOW!
        Some of these motors are built to "contain" ON/OFF throttle drivers.

          Quite the opposite. Durham Fords are built to be driveable on the slick. It's the reason B5 isn't the 1.

              Bloomquist is a Master with the brake pedal, if your going to beat him consistently you better learn it.

              JD runs the top because its generally wetr and traction up there. Easy to find the speed if you can run the line.

              Its very interesting thou that some are switching from the Durham Fords. I love to see it, not good for the sport being so one sided.
