Davenport, Struggling...

[Kromulous]

Whats going on with Dport, car still looks slow, no speed, not like the past couple of years at Eldora!

Mentioned in the tech section a few weeks ago, still looks the same, not good.

[Josh Bayko]

Yeah, Rumley isn’t around full time anymore.

Atleast Davenport can make races... lol

Interview there this weekend said the droop rule is having a big impact on them.

A major Team like Davenports, anything other than winning is slow. You guys and this podium finish crap crack me up, the everyone gets a trophy theory has done permeated SLM racing. Guys like Davenport want to WIN, 2nd sucks !

I'm sure thou, they will get it figured out. T mac and that Longhorn looks like they are already working on the rear of the Car. Anyone notice this stance of T macs car?

Rumley wasn't there last year either.

[Josh Bayko]

Rumley wasn't there last year either.

He was around way more often last year.

I am no where near the Davenport camp, but it appears to me that they are too focused on re-living the "device" period of time and making sure they get the LR hiked up rather than focusing on what makes the car go fast. I've also felt like Bloomer has struggled with this too. I'm with CJ I think if someone were to focus on a swingarm car I think there's a lot of speed, especially straightaway speed being left on the table.

Corner speed wins races.

I wasn't around them week to week, but he wasn't employed by team 49.

[Rajflyboy]

Davenport will be kicking ass for many years. This little slump will be little.

[Josh Bayko]

I wasn't around them week to week, but he wasn't employed by team 49.

He was considered a consultant.

one of the probb that is hurting a lot of the big names is info isn't guarded like it use to be .a driver could hit on something and keep it a long time before it got out.. now you have consultants,shock pimps yes they sell you like like a cheap ho,chassis builders that help and give lots of info out to there chassis customers,crew chiefs friends with other drivers and teams help each other out ,texting has a lot to do with it years back this didn't exsist,face book too u can be online talking and share info,,,heck I come from the era when you had to wait til thurs,friday when the racing newspaper came to see who won...its kinda like what steve f. said he came up and learned from trial and error for his speed and you didn't tell no one. now if you have enough money you go buy speed you don't earn it the hard way....if you have the mentality that you you don't want to talk to others you get left behind now cause drivers all talk around about setups an if your that driver that has a lot of pride and don't talk around and reach out for help chances are your not gonna run good nowdays...

Whatever that means. He was with 39, just like this year.
