    Top 3 are impounded from tonight. They are looking for various things. Not sure what’s hard to figure out

    .................................................. .................................................. ...............

    How about what racetrack are you talking about you dumba$$.



    Better get all triggered with Need for speed to, he didn’t spell it out either wtf track he was talking about.
    Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

        I could be wrong but I think the other may have been Josh Richard’s. I’ll say it now just like I said before that test. Traction Control isn’t the problem. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see the problem, but I guess it will satisfy some because at least they are look for the problem even if they are looking in the wrong place.

          For sure.

          Motors, them bodies, shocks, and so on. First would be the bodies to me. And it’s so simple. I really don’t wanna sound like NASCAR, but make templates, and you either fit it or ya don’t.

              You’ve probably noticed me complaining about the direction the bodies were headed for at least the last 8-10 years. LOL There wouldn’t be a need for templates if people could read a tape measure but apparently it’s a lost art. I don’t think it’s really a lost art though. The real lost art is enforcing rules. I guess they are afraid of hurting peoples feelings so they just let $h:t slide.

                  Deck width, rf fender height, body width, even taper of body width from center to the back on both sides, pretty much any body rule.

                  They sometimes check rear deck height, but let a fat guy bounce on it until it passes.

                  Decks used to be flat from driver back, used to be 36" max from the ground. They were flat from side to side as well.
                  Roofs used to have to have convex curvature, it goes on and on. Those rules were amended or removed because of lack of enforcement.

                    I think there was a picture going around a few years ago of them checking deck height maybe something else and the tape measure wasn't even touching the ground

                      I told a friend that's on here the other day that they to hire the Portsmouth tech guys to run lucas tech. Some of prp's rules dont make any sense, but at least they enforce their rules.

                        I’ve talked to a few dirt drivers who have tried traction control and not a single one of them tonight it would make them faster. In fact, they all thought it would be a hindrance.

In fact, they all thought it would be a hindrance.If you handed most teams Rumley/JD apparatus, would they have made it work? Currently there's a few teams in the sport that have a ridiculous amount of money in the owners pockets. If there was a time that someone has gotten it figured out, it's now.

                            ^^^if you gave them the whole apparatus, I'd hope so. It wasn't particularly complex.

                            The top teams are not wasting their time on something so unreliable and unusable.

                              TC for dirt oval racing will likely never really get to a point where it’s sensitive and sophisticated yet hidden enough where it knew you needed to break traction to be faster or make a pass. It really wouldn’t be worth it to any racer or manufacturer for what would be a tiny little sliver of a very niche sport.

                                logic states that if someone is using something thats against the rules, they arent going to speak highly of it so as to avoid suspicion...

                                but im neither here nor there on the subject
