I would not recommend anyone getting rid of a Longhorn for a current Rocket. Rockets are not looking good so far and the stats are obviously one sided in favor of the Longhorns. Give Jimmy some time and he will figure out a balance that suits his driving style.

Not to focus on Jimmy, but any team, driver, etc. constantly switching brands, flip-flopping, does not build allegiance with the chassis builders. Changing back and forth may help in the short run, but not so much in the long run.

Obviously stats are gonna favor Longhorn.. everyone and their brother is in one. Who's in a Rocket right now that's worth being in a car to begin with? Erb Jr, O'Neil, Blair sometimes? Madden was in front at Volusia. Take 15 Longhorns to maybe 4 XR1s in a giving field/race I'd hope Longhorn would have better stats lol.. Jimmy in a XR1 his stats are better. The Longhorn is making him look bad like it has everytime he's tried one.
Also it dont matter what you put Overton, Mccreadie or Davenport in they'd be in front.

That is quite obvious. The last few years results of the big races should prove that. Rocket may do all right with the local boys on a Saturday night but they are lacking on the national level it would appear. It wouldn't make sense for Jimmy to take a step backwards .Originally posted by In The Gas View PostI would not recommend anyone getting rid of a Longhorn for a current Rocket.

I agree, but it wasn't that long ago that Rocket had a similar numerical advantage over Longhorn, and even more so in certain regions of the country. Longhorn still won their share of races back then, and Rocket will still win their share of races as long as Hud and Madden are in one.Originally posted by racert22 View PostObviously stats are gonna favor Longhorn.. everyone and their brother is in one.

I suspected that was the case. With the way this Kohler deal has started out for Jimmy, I wouldn't be surprised to see him go back to running his own stuff. Not sure of his relationship with Bloomer, but if Scott is out for the season, I'd like to see him get back in one of his cars. He had a lot of success with them in the past.Originally posted by zyoung25 View PostI was told Jimmy has 2 new rockets of his own that were basically ready to go before the Kohler deal came together.

You can't discount how much it costs to operate a team. We only know for sure that 1 of the 3 options can actually do that.Originally posted by Snake X3 View PostI suspected that was the case.

Jimmy dosen’t have a hauler.
Bloomer is suppose to be out 4 weeks after surgery in either February/March.
I agree Bloomquist cars fit Jimmy- his best years was in those Chasis. Not sure if they have made amends - or if Jimmy could get a new one if he wanted to??

I would not for see any of the 3 mentioned winning in a rocket right now. Last time I saw Superman in something other than a Longhorn was when he was in the Barry Wright house car and he was awful. It just seems that the rockets are falling off after 10 laps or so and don’t have the balance that the Horns have to finish out a feature.Originally posted by racert22 View PostObviously stats are gonna favor Longhorn.. everyone and their brother is in one.
