    Bought one of his old cars. A car Ricky ran this year for a bit I believe.

You have a car that your selling, if that car is any good you can talk all you want, they are not selling it. Horns have unfortunately had a problem with cars not reacting the same. Call it what you wish, but I don't think there selling a car RTJ is comfortable in.
      They probably had 5 cars in the stable. Have to sell to make room for new.

        ill be very surprised if he got the complete package, those guys race for a living, and everything is so close right now, i just don't think he can let it out yet, just the way it is, if your going to run on that level, you have to do homework, and its alot of homework for those last 2 tenths
        now if you find it, you may get 6 months to a year with it before someone catches up, but these guys work too hard to keep an edge for more than a year anymore

          The 96V was not very good at Charlotte. Not a good initial look for BMF but I don't think they are a bad piece. There are plenty of good small builders out there but most would rather be on the chassis merry-go-round. It used to be Rocket/Masters. Now its Rocket/Longhorn.

            Ya gotta give Dennis Erb Jr. the credit though as the last driver to honestly win the title of a premier series in a Rocket ? ?

              This is not meant to be a attack on English but he's a bit of a one Trick pony and charlotte isn't anywhere in that bag. I wouldn't use charlotte as a bench mark for how he'll do in the bmf

                i agree tanner will be fine, i think this year should be a better year for him, he has notes for alot of these places now, plus he has the backing, so if he tests and does the homework, i can see big things happening

                  What are you talking about? In 2022 he ran WoO, finished 2nd in points had 4 wins and one of them was at the World Finals.

                    Where he finished in points or how many wins he had has nothing to do with my statement
