    Fox Shocks

    I noticed Rocket 1 has switched to Fox from Integra? Anyone have any insight on the change?

    That actually happened on the downlow last year, at least on one corner of the car. Supposedly, Integra could not copy the Fox rf valving of the Fox that fast Rockets are running now.

        Too lazy to use the goggle but Fox was building great stuff 50 years ago for twin-shock dirtbikes. Bet they been around longer than we think.

          There's a nice Dennis Erb Jr article on DoD by Kyle McFadden. It's a great read. He makes reference why he switched to Fox shocks. Talks about how Rocket 1 switched, so he did, too. Great to see him sharing shock info with the Rocket team.

            The whole idea that Mark doesn’t share info is 4M mouthbeather fantasy.

                Garrett Smith, Shirley and Owens are on Fox as well. I think the Rocket-Fox collaboration is from Cody Mallory’s time on the Blue1 last year.

                  Mason Zeigler ran Fox all last year when he went back to Rocket after his short stint in the BWRC. Cody did play a role in getting the teams up to date with the shocks. Those shocks played a role in his fall from grace last year at Port Royal. A local team paid Cody for a shock package that he didn't deliver. Mark Richards stepped up and made sure that team got their shocks.

                    Cody making a deal he didn’t deliver on? This is shocking……..said no one ever.

                    Tried to sneak in the wrong tire on Garrets car last night, got nailed and cost him a shot at the win….but I’m sure it was an “ honest” mistake…..dude is an idiot savant.

                    I’ve got some older motocross friends that ran fox shocks….cool that they excel in the 4 wheel arena these days.
                    Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

                      Fox shocks are on Ford Raptor F150 trucks. Fox showed Ford some tricks to make a shock perform, and Ford showed Fox some tricks to make a shock more durable and mass production techniques.

                        Apparently Smith didn’t learn his lesson with Crazy Cody last year.

                        Flyboy: “ 5 minutes of fame”- another brilliant post.
                        I do find it interesting that how everyone was upset/mad as heck because Thorton got robbed of the Championship- now after 2 races have turned against him.
                        Since when did we get to the point that we didn’t want to see cars rubbing during a dirt race?

                          Fox, I don't think it's because of the contact as much as it is his attitude and casting the blame on the other guy when he was definitely the aggressor.

                            Fox’s venture into dirt late model racing was 2016 with Hyperco.

                              They acquired silver Jesus a couple years ago from Penske. That's when their stock went up a little bit.
