I don't know how many times I've heard (yeah this is a brand new car) in victory lane this year. Personally I think Overton doesn't count as a longhorn car. He's in a league of his own right now and it wouldn't matter what chassis he's in. The large majority of the longhorns running well on the national and regional level are on bilstiens.
    I’d like to know the number of chassis Davenport has had built this year, along with Mcreadie

      I would agree with this. More consistent car!
      I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.

        McCreadie and Davenport are probably doing some testing. So it could be a complete new car because they’re trying something different. Nobody on the regional level will See any of that technology for another year or two. If they even release it
        I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.

          The world 100 is a Dirtcar event. They check there. Do they check at every Summer National event? I don't know. The racers have made a joke of that rule. Guys who run with that rule just let their rr drop now. So it forced people to hack out their rr undertail and tune their rr shock different.

            in the world the top guys are in its easier to just build a new car and sell the old one because of time, they aren't going to waste time trying to figure out if the car has been tweaked or a shock is bad or what ever, if its all new and checked so can't be the car (not always true, a new car can have a bug or two )
            then they have time to research and put on a jig, check all the parts, and see whats going on
            these guys can't afford to lose 4-5 races or more, I've also seen them tear the entire car down and put on all new parts, just not feasible for the weekend warrior

                  McCreadie said in an interview at I-80 that he had a new car but it was tough to leave the car he ran all of last year and most of this year to get in a new one. Seems they had a good one...

                    I’m no expert, but the Longhorn cars go thru the turns without sliding much at all. That’s a hell of an advantage.
