    Yep!!! Well said too.

    And in the DLM climate that we have in today’s racing world, I’m glad I don’t own a DLM team.

      the owners ego couldnt let rtj continue to have the freedom he enjoyed, so he fired his azz imo.

        SSI' wrap guy is about 2-3hrs from their shop. As simple as that wrap is, he could definitely have that printed and put on in a day easily. Keep digging.

            That doesn’t even make sense.

              Cutman,

              I think you were joking, I think, but I wasn’t hiding behind a screen name. Just some times posting ones opinion (here on the main page) carries to much drama, to much baggage, and to much BS backlash when posted.

              But anyway, here goes.

              In short, its Todd’s team he can do whatever he wants, makes no difference with me. As SSI/RTJ have been winning a lot of money the past year and a half or so --- I think RTJ wanted more money, they couldn’t come to an equitable financial arrangement for both parties, and then Todd said NO, its time for you to move on.

              Fire suit on, flame away.

                What I di know is both had a good night last night considering all the drama surrounding them. Here in a few weeks hopefully we will be talking more about the racing aspect of it and not why it happened. I mean lets take a look at the Rocket1 team. Sheppard leaves for family team (cover story), Hudson leaves to start his own family team (cover story) I'm not sure the what cover story is for the RTJ saga and only a few know the truth and everyone else is just speculating.

                I'm just glad they're both able to continue. It's good for the sport when things like this happen because think of how many race fans wanted to see how things shook out last night.

                  Remember at the end of last year: all the talk was about RTJ and how he got robbed of a championship on a tour that he chose to follow all along knowing the format. The fans were putty!
                  Then earlier this year the same people were complaining about his dirty driving. And now it’s about how Burns/Huddy cut his throat. We have slot of drama queens that do not have one $ invested in a race team and many don’t even attend races in person.
                  You can’t make everyone happy- but pissing them off is a piece of cake.
                  I love cake!!

                    The RTJ car was fast by the end of the night. Looked like he was too loose coming out of the corners during his heat race to get any momentum.

                      Fox, absolutely correct.

                      And remember those same fans making up the story about Hudson and Mark and running with it. No facts at all but they sure were dead set that it happened.

                        That car was fast when Bobby's boy drove it. I have seen him set fast time in it a few times and lead 45 laps of a 50 lap race only for a caution to let him down. There set up is good and ricky will only make it better for jordan.

                          I was wondering if he would run one of Jimmy's Vic Hill's or Jordan"s Cornett but he run the Cornett, I knew that was what Jordan ran but did not know if it was a run of the mill Cornett or Jack's top of the line like Devin Moran has been running the last month or two

                            I think jordan takes to the longhorns pretty good. Idk for whatever reason but jimmy just doesn't fit w the longhorn. He does well w the rockets though. I know nothing about there engine program. I'm surprised bobby doesn't run a clement motor as they do well

                                Jimmy would run good in a Thornton setup Longhorn.
