    Madden just picked up two new Rockets a couple days ago. Kinda weird the team your chasing in the points of a national tour is the one that built your cars...

      Madden I believe is on Penske shocks and Rocket1 is on Integras . Rocket's main business is to sell winning race cars, not only for themselves to win in.

        In today's chassis, shocks, mean everything. For the most part they all have the same front end geometry. Under the back of the cars everyone hides pick up points and birdcage angles. Then you have that LR shock, it's probably caused more change to slm than any other part on the car. Today you need a smasher in the trailer to record changes.

              That's what the parts peddlers want you to believe.

                  I'm gonna have to go back to a big race and watch these guys changing shocks and springs. Last I knew they find what works and stay with it with only minor tweaks at track. Your right front has as more to do than left rear. We have always been able to get em on the bars since lr behind

                    I have dyno sheets from shocks built 9 years ago and ones built last year. They just aren't all that different. I can and do use the old ones and don't see a performance drop off. People have learned a lot about geometry since then, but a damper is still asked to do the same job

                      I've been saying same thing. Shocks job didn't change. It's still just a timing device. Technology better, yes, but still same job. Springs are same way.

                        Why would Madden need two new Rockets ? He is so easy on equipment and does not wreck much.

                            That’s no different than any Lucas guy running a Longhorn.

                              How bout dem Longhorns this year? Hauling the mail.

                              I read on epj site that his favorite win was the dtwc in 2010 , he dedicated the win to his mom who passed a few days later.

                              And was driving the early boat anchor known as the new longhorn chassis....pretty cool.

                              All our hearts are heavy for you epj
                              Where is the move over flag when you need it?????
