    TrueI heard an interview with Scott (Dave Despain interviewed him) years ago. He was talking about the work required to do well. He said he got beat a few times and was up under the car one night trying to figure out the suspension. He fell asleep under the car and woke up around 5 am and he figured something out (he said that one thing lasted 6 years before it got out)

            And if you want to run Bilstein Shocks he'll help you out also. Some guys are just bull headed because in today's world of SLM racing you, if you have the abilities, can go buy a chassis and copy it. Look at stuckley, that car is garbage yet EPJ keeps struggling and stuckley keeps thinking he has the answer. Ahh, no, you don't. Your chassis is junk.

                        Can’t qualify for nothing. Start 3rd row in the heats. Running consies. No excuse for running this bad consistently.

                              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?
                              Please tell us how this non existent droop rule affected them at Magnolia which was a Lucas race.
