T-mac

They don't run those kinda mods up where Tim is from. A few tracks run IMCA rules, but the nearest Renegade rules mods are down in southwestern NY and northwestern PA.

As for the original topic, I think the last thing Tim needs is another chassis change. He should stick with the Rocket and test and tweak and they'll figure it out. As for him looking rough, he had his first kid not that long ago and that'll age you a bunch. I speak from experience on that one.

I know that, the reason I asked was that there are multiple opportunities for him to jump in one if he wanted too at some places he is already at( volusia,Tyler county etc.)

He would be exciting in one of those , and with his experience in the bbm,dlm,midget etc. I would think he would catch on very quickly.

With his vast experience in the rocket, should there really be a need for that much testing and tuning???

Don't see Tim switching from Rocket again, Richards tests a lot and Timmy will be using Weedsport as their so called "test track". Is Rocket behind right now, yes but it won't be for long.

I agree on Vinnie switching was not a good idea, I feel you want to develop a chassis you need to race it 3-4 times a week not 3-4 times a month like Tim's schedule allows.

Good luck testing those rockets

we'll see how that goes

The setups that he was running in Rockets when he ran them before the Warrior (and brief Victory Circle) change were wildly different from what they are now. That's how fast this sport changes. What worked when he used to run Rockets before doesn't anymore. You also have to remember that his crew chief wrenched on Barry Wrights the last few years, too, so he's a little out of the loop on Rocket stuff too.

I hope that's all it is and they get back to form...........somehow though, I think it runs a little deeper than just not being up to speed on the rocket set up.

Anyway, hope your right.......but I'll bet his performance would improve immediately in something a little more relevant in the speed and drive ability department.

Timmay! is just fine. He won the PDC last year and the USA Nationals the year before. We're not even close to crown jewels' season. Let us let things play out here a bit. A lot of racing left. He will be the favorite in the August Crown jewels. Really hope he shows up at Florence again this year for the n/s... He's going to win that one of these years.

Good...........because I am a tmac fan.

Glad he dumped the boat number though.

I thought the boat number on the car looked like crap too, but I can get behind the reason they went with that design.

Also, T-Mac is usually very good at Lernerville. I have a feeling this topic might seem a little silly after next weekend.

TMac will pull it together. He's at least 40 now, with a kid, still traveling up and down the road.

I'm a huge fan of his and when his Dad raced. Hope he gets back to his old self in the Rocket. It's what he has run the best in, I'd just go with it. Test and communicate and tweak with Josh and whoever else.
