    Owens / longhorn

    Jimmy has been in longhorns on numerous times over the past few yrs. For some reason they just dont work for him. I wouldnt be suprised if you dont see him back in a rocket as he ran well in them as of recently. Some 4mers are going to say its still early yet and bla bla bla well if you come out of speedweeks in the hole to deep and still are running like crap you better figure out something quick cuz the guys that are running good will help you bury yourself. I still think jimmy had some of his best yrs in his bloomquist cars.

    He should really just get back into Rockets. He was doing his own thing with them, just like Madden, and was pretty competitive in em. But considering he’s driving for somebody else paying the bills, it probably isn’t an option.

      I'm an Owens fan and expect some growing pains with the new team. But I will agree that him and Longhorns just don't seem like a compatible match. Time will tell, but can't take too long especially if they are planning on following a series.

        Is it the chassis, or is it the team?

          New team that came together in the last month is likely the bigger problem.

            Longhorn cars have won every race this year. Jimmy Owens had a wheel come off last night.

              Not to worry, Old Jimmy will put together a good run every now and again !

                Supposedly he made an agreement to try the longhorns to start out. If it's true, we will probably see him back in the rockets for all tech with the way he has ran.

                  Probably a bit of both, but this is like 3rd or 4th time he’s tried Horns and he hasn’t ever had any speed in em.

                      Not sure. There a local regional team here in nc and I think they run longhorns but they may have run rockets in past. They ran friendship and 311 which both tracks are defunct now. Bobby the team owner who operates a wrecker business ( ultimate towing & recovery) in multiple locations drove 114 in lm crates and slm classes for quite a few yrs. His son jordan took over a few yrs back also.

                        I agree w your post. Jimmy ran really good in his rockets w a few wins.

                          I was just curious as to what happened with Jimmy’s rockets he had with Rameriz.

                            I was told Jimmy has 2 new rockets of his own that were basically ready to go before the Kohler deal came together.

                              They brought Jimmy in so that he could help the boys out also let's not forget, there also driving horns , so I don't see them getting any rockets.
