Rocket? Any trouble in Paradise?

[Rajflyboy]

With Shepp leaving to Longhorn and Rocket having a tough 2023 is Paradise in a bit of trouble up there in West Virginia? Or is this just a blip on a radar screen?

BShepp/Rocket1 won the most races in 2022 on theLucas Tour- “trouble in paradise”- Dream on!
Mark Richards is a survivor! I am definitely not a Mark Richards Fan but his record speaks for itself.

I do think Rocket will make a comeback. Chris Madden might be the driver/team to do it 👍

[foxfire2dirtracing]

Make a comeback from what?

[MIdlmfan]

Obviously longhorn is dominant but I still believe Madden and O’Neal will both have very very solid seasons

[ZERO25]

I thought they were all Blue Horns???

[Flathead]

I hope Hudson and Madden both have good seasons just to show some of you people on here that racers are capable of winning without Kevin Rumleys magic wand…

I agree flat, this worship and you can only win in a longhorn junk has gone on long enough! Landers and Wells have millions to throw at their cars. Rockets and other chassis are winning at tracks all across America.

Let's not act like the worship is only on the Longhorn side. Plenty of Rocket nut huggers out there.

^^ No denying that at all about them starring at Rocket with rose colored glasses ! ! ^^

I'm no fan of Rocket, but for the good of the sport, I hope more chassis brands will be competitive next season. Rocket certainly was competitive. I have no reason to believe they won't be next year. That said, horns up! \m/

I will give you an example of one chassis dominating the sport. The Northeast Big Block Modifieds are now totally dominated by one chassis brand. BICKNELL. Just about every race, whether a local Saturday night race or the Super DirtCar Series, has nothing but Bicknells in the field. They have left the other prominent builders like Troyer, Teo, Hig Fab, PMC and DKM in their dust. Not sure if that is good for the sport?. At least there are other builders in the DLM world besides Rocket and Longhorn.

Maybe Rocket and Longhorn needs to start building Big Block Mods. Cars !!!

Paradise in West Virginia? Snowshoe or Davis area maybe……..shineston, nope.

Shinnston isn’t terrible. It does have a little bit of small town charm.
