    The Rocket 1 teams has the resources they have because of success on the racetrack. Can't really bash on them for that.

        Is it good for business in the long run, to have your own house car to be so dominant, especially in the WOO series? Mark clearly is one of the greatest minds of all-time when it comes to late models. Just food for thought

          The sales figures say nope.

            B Shepp is one of the smartest drivers in the history of dirt racing...he sticks with what works...so many drivers run a line to take the lead to just get relaxed and move to lose it...BShepp will stick with the fastest line...

              The conflict of interest with a chassis builder running against customers is interesting. Good feedback yes but eventually the teams you run against regularly get tired of feeling like the deck is stacked against them.
              I hate time trials.

                Are you saying that Rocket sales are down? Or am I reading your reply wrong?

                  Sales figures ? You his office manager ? I doubt it, I believe they said during the covid shut down they still had people working on shipping orders.

                    I don’t know. There was just something I really liked about Kid Rocket running that car. I usually don’t like those deals but I think Josh is a hard worker and earned his spot in the sport.

                      The Rocket house car and driver are simply not beatable. Analyze all day the reasons, but in the end they are not beatable. He doesn't win the N/S. Why? He doesn't come here. I think he takes that week off or something. You are not going to out run them.

                        You’re reading my reply wrong. The post I quoted suggested That having a house car on tour might not be the best thing.

                          I would like to hit the WOO Davenport race but since I already know who’s going to win I’ll stay home and watch it on tv.

                              I don't think people were questioning the funding or work ethic of the team. More in the case of tires and how they hardly ever have flats. Not just in this thread but other ones also. Some of the wins you see the tires on the car after 50-100 lappers and they look brand new other than some dirt stains on them.
                              2020 race count:
                              1/2 of an event

                                I've never gotten close enough to see the tires after a race. I know sometimes Brandon mentions that there is not much tire left and sometimes he mentions they still look good. Pretty much in line with what other top drivers say. Sometimes you can conserve them, other times not so much.
