    Speaking of Capital, the 16 team is selling all Capital stuff and switching to Longhorns also dropping off the tour.

      I'm really surprised that it's taken this long for him to switch over. Chase Junghans and his team were taken back by the quality and technology jump when they made the switch from Capital to Rocket.

        We aren't talking computers or microchips here. I've heard guys think they have technology because they have Earnhardt Technology birdcages.

          Hate to see Bruening give up on his Capital chassis. The LOLMS & WOOLMS has turned into a Longhorn/Rocket world. I guess there is no room left for a Capital, Black Diamond, Barry Wright, Mastersbuilt etc on a National tour. It is amazing how the rest of the chassis builders stay in business. I guess they cater to the Regiional and Crate series racers.

            Been interesting how HTF made the switch to LH and hasn't run all that great. Oddly, Joseph says he feels like they are faster, but results sure haven't come. Been waiting on a wide-bore at least 6 months although I don't believe that is an issue. My guess is the list of teams that get engines are heavily weighted to the long-term customers. Like Rocket/Davenport/ etc, etc.

            IMO HTF's main issue is their mechanical abilities, to me, appear to be limited to sometimes getting bolts in the holes properly. They seem to struggle with fairly basic things. They have mentioned how much easier the Capital is to work on/assemble.

                Rocket and Longhorn get feedback from a lot more than what the others get
