$10 says Whitener gets popped for tires after Volusia

[NeedforLMspeed]

Wasn't 2015 the year he dominated dirt track late model racing with the Rumley's? And if your talking about the Magnolia race the week after the dream, he didn't leave and as a matter of fact, he won. And i would assume Lucas would check tires.

Look at the first page of the link I posted above starting at post #19. He was also busted at Golden Isles

Wasn't Whitener already busted for funny tires?

I was replying to Over40T Who said he left a MS. track after qualifying in or around 2015 when in fact he dominated in 2015 and won the race at the MAG over Jared Landers and Jimmy Owens.

Anyone see him chop Jimmy O last night as well? For a guy who likes to whine about other drivers rough driving he sure has a ton of questionable moves over the past week.

I wondered if anyone else caught that.

Pap,
It might have been "12 or '13 when it happened because that's when we went back to Memphis to visit a very good friend who was fading from Alzheimer's and wanted to see him once more before he completely lost it and he died in , I believe, 2015.

We went to that race at Columbus Speedway, not Magnolia, and saw him leave. It was the talk of the pits. That was pre-Rumley days. The year may have wrong but it definitely happened.

P.S. I'm a fan of Davenport.

Might be a joke to you but they sure don't mind paying $4000 for a joke

And then they try to sell it. I bet you've never worked with PID controllers? Two in a system (man and machine) can't work that well. Ever driven a high end car with stability management? That works pretty well. Tame it down to just TC, it will inhibit a decent driver every time. And that is on pavement. Dirt is a whole different world were the correct amount wheel spin is never zero and always changes.

Racers fall for snake oil every day.

I saw it. No worse than what #1 gave Overton at EB. Overton didn't wreck #1.

Dont know the year but it was in his first stint with Barry Wright. The car was white with Superman on the hood, not the Superman logo but the whole Superman

You already know my opinion on that one 😁

Davenport got popped at GIS in like 2008. Barry likes the juice.

Slew rate TC doesn't work worth a (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)ed, even if there's a 3 axis g sensor inside the box. And its the easiest thing in the world to tech if you're in the know.

TC is most helpful when the dirt track gets slick. The TC prevents the tires from slipping when the driver is on the gas.

Even then, you need a certain percentage of tire slip. And it depends where you are on the track and what you are trying to do at the time.

[Josh Bayko]

There are plenty of drivers who have tried it and declared it more of a hinderance than help. There are times you absolutely have to break traction to make a move or change a line and TC isn’t really advanced or intuitive enough to do that for varying track conditions on a dirt track.

^^^^ and that's the reason why guys are not doing it. If you can come up with something to go along with TC that would let you set limits as to when, where and how TC kicked in. Then and only then would it be beneficial, it would also kill dirt racing as we know it. So I'm glad it's never developed to that point.

The lack of an ECM in a DLM certainly keeps it from happening.
