    He's missing something. Will he find it at Longhorn? No idea. The idea that a certain chassis "fits" is pretty much not something I agree with. They can all be made to do the same things. You just have to put the balljoints and axles in the right place. A car that "must be driven straight" can suddenly be a black front Rocket, if you make a few geometry adjustments that can be done without a welder.

      And the saga continues. The 7 team moved away from the zero camp, why is still not clear. It has been mentioned they want to build there own cars for next year. Maybe Longhorn came along and made them a deal to good to pass on. Maybe the unrest in Tennessee is something that nobody wants to be a part of anymore. The walls, I think, are showing signs that they are slowly starting to Crack in Mooresburg. 2 more used chassis for sale, but, I have to approve who I sell my cars to. Arrogant arsh.

            Johnny Scott has run really well since they switched to rocket. Stormy not so much

              I like the look of Ricky's car with the blue on one side and pink on the other.......never really been a fan of those swirly things on the wheel covers though.

                The only one he had on there before was in front of the window bars.

                I believe it's still his team zero car in that pic.

                  Yeah it's no Longhorn. It is the Weiss chassis jig template car. Lol

                      If you read the entire twitter post they say "already has one". Only one I can think of that fits that would be Tanner English whose #97 is a Longhorn but the cars he drives on tour are Rockets from Riggs Motorsports.

                        Tanner just posted on his Instagram of his rocket ready for Pittsburgh that was just built before the 3 day port royal weekend. It's stormy. And they were saying that Jeff Rine already has one

                          And why would tanner switch he's had his best finishes of the year the last few races. And i totally agree with mbr the only difference is knowing how to make a car act like you want it to. Their are differences in chassis that favor one condition vs the other but those differences don't make the car unable to be setup to favor the opposite end of the spectrum if so intended. Look at Owens rocket. That thing is bad fast and usually about as straight a you'll see a latemodel. Certainly doesn't remotely resemble the blue one car

                                Yes. That is where he works and stays at now.
