Mike Marlar and the #6?

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

So there is no conflict with them switching to bilstein? I could see there being since Mike is pretty tight with his shock guy, who is an integra dealer.
The engines the team will be using will no longer be supplied by Delk, or is that not true

Pretty sure all the Delk equipment is no longer an option. As Race Engineer said, is Mikey taking checks from integra? I doubt it. Why is mikey not willing to even offer that up for a reason in a comment?

And what shocks were on the 6 in FL? Kevin has been working with JRI shocks for years.

My assumptions would be that Mike is loyal to Integra, possibly even having a nice deal with them. So striking up a deal with Bilstein created a conflict for Mike and he didn’t wanna pi$$ off Integra. Chassis part obviously didn’t matter.

And he took the high road. I’m sure there could be more to the story, and he could just be frustrated he had a good gig fall through after the season already started.

He ran a Delk car at Smokey Mountain. There’s at least one car and motor left.

They were on Integras in the 6 in Florida. Bayko delks motor was in Rumleys car as well

I meant Rumley wouldn't have Delk equipment, Josh.

Seems to me Rumley has more to do with Longhorn than people realize. He talked earlier in the year how he redesigned a Longhorn Chassis for Hudson Oneal, torsional flex etc (DOD Article). Also stated he his 6 car was a test bed for future redesigns. Now it makes sense to get Tmac to drive it because he driver the actual House car.

So you have a Test House car, and a House car, seems pretty clear to me.

Fair enought. That makes sense.
