    Let's get to Volusia and see what shakes out. As it stands the horn camp still has the guys with the experience behind the wheel. I'm sure the guys at rocket understood they fell behind last year. Maybe, just maybe, that playing field has become a little closer.

      Rockets will still be king of those 1/3 hammer down tracks where you gotta be sideways the whole time.

        And with all the Rocket Longhorn debate Brandon Overton jumps in a warrior and almost beats both of them

          Warrior just needs to hand out a few cars to drivers like t mac aND Overton then you watch how fast others get in line. All these cars today are that close. With the money behind JD give him time to make adjustments and the guy would win in just about anything. He could make Mastersbuilt great again. All it would take is Tader saying I'm all in.

              Well, we've got tons of 1/3 mile hammer down tracks in and around the midwest so Rocket will probably be just fine.

                BP in his horn come summer nats time will be interesting. The walls won't stand a chance. I say he destroys at least one car.

The Longhorns do have an advantage right now in the longer races and I do believe it relates to some front end adjustments/settings but the guys that don't need to dial up mark any time the track changes don't seem to have any trouble running well in their XR1's
                    You are insulting a guy who has had a lot of successful racing in his past.

                    Maybe he is talking about the caster gain curve going negative? Maybe he's talking about the need for excess toe to make it turn? Maybe he's talking about the drastic loss of camber with back steer? Maybe it's the lack of Ackerman? Maybe it's the puzzling steering arm ratio from side to side?

                    That front end is old as hell and it's not great. It came from a different time and a Rayburn. They just didn't travel like that back then.

                          That win tonight had to leave a pretty good stain in 84wedgie's shorts.

                              There's a stain, but not the kind you think. We're obviously looking at the greatest driver in history piloting the fastest car ever made.

                                when the pilot and the car can come from dead last to win at eldora after laping half the feild, only then can you make that claim
