EPJ and Black Diamond

[HIGH ROLLER]

I guess epj will be testing all yr

Nope, if you're not in a Nasa special you just suck, at least according to the all-knowing 4m pudits. Funny how so many look at speedweeks as demonstrative as to how a season will go. Seems like EPJ/BD were pretty fast last year. This generation thinks you MUST be exactly like everyone else or you are just wrong.

Changed your name about ten times for whatever reason, but it’s still you. Then go buy a 2012 Rayburn swingarm and put it on the stage at The World 100.

They are struggling mightily!! I know their aren't as many Black Diamond cars compared to Longhorn and Rocket, and probably not a lot of cars to draw info from, but still they cant seem to get out of their own way. I feel for EPJ but how much longer can this go on?

East Bay isn’t a good comparison on how the rest of the year will go for someone.

Every year, Bloomer is done, washed up, he sucked at East Bay. Volusia is a better read, but still, give it till like June, then ya know if they have just lost it. And I don’t think Stuckey and EPJ have lost it, they’ll find it. Just in a slump at East Bay.

It's more than East Bay. They were dreadful in AZ too. They were not good the second half of last year. They are off.

EPJ and the Scott brothers definitely struggled badly this week. I feel like the Scott's inexperience and the fact East Bay is not the ideal track for Bloomers cars as they are designed to run straight not sideways contributed to their tough week. Johnny did run well at the Wild West however. As far as EPJ, I just think that team is behind on technology and have been chasing their tails for awhile now.

The first year EPJ was the come back driver of the year driving that BD. Since then he has not been able to get out of his own way. There in trouble, period.

I think he needs to be sent out to pasture and get a young hungry driver behind the wheel.

I guess you haven't watched Birky in essentially the same car struggle to keep his head above water. He is still one of the 5 best drivers in the pits, easily.

Funny how it seems all of these chassis seem to struggle from year to year, even Rocket and Longhorn have had their issues over the years. Then a few tweaks are made, and they seem to be relevant again (see Barry Wright's ICON chassis). Stuckey is a bright guy and I am sure they will figure things out.

Someone finds the next couple of tenths, then everyone else has to catch up.

Their is no doubt the black diamonds are off right now but it's not earl or stuckey. They are just missing something right now and they will get it righted so long as money an moral dont run out first

Good performance, under varying tracks and conditions, is the BEST advertising tool available to a chassis builder. Some builders are in deep water.

Broke a drive shaft 3 laps into the feature last night?
