    T-mac

    My favorite driver.

    Zero wins in Late Model
    Zero wins in Modified

    Time for a change. Would like to see him in a Longhorn. Look what it has done for Chub Frank

    The WOO is in NY and Canada. If T-MAC can not win at home, I look for a chassis change for next season...

    What do you think fans???

    So how is the Longhorn supposed to remedy the 0 wins modified stat? He didn't win very much in his years in a Warrior either. I'm a big Tim fan but have to admit he's been very inconsistent for quite a few years lately.

      You could see him progressing in the warrior though towards the end ..... it seems to me last year or so anytime he puts i good run together and you think he might start building momentum he cant back it up the following week or race . Im a huge fan of his and its hard for me to see him struggle like he has ....... best victory/post race celebration is seeing him climb out the car fired up in my opinion hope he gets back to those days .

        Longhorn does play a pretty big role in a certain modified chassis, just not a big block mod chassis.

        Tim's fairly recent boyish young looks have given way to a much more grizzled and haggard appearance .............looks like what ever is going on has taken a toll on him the past few years.

        And I'm a big tmac fan, so I say it out of concern.......

        Would be nice to see a breath a fresh air breathed back into his program..........maybe a chassis or team change would do just that.
        Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

          A longhorn chassis would do him much needed improvement. Its tough for him as hes on a tight budget.I was suprized when he switched from a warrior as I thought he had somthing figured out to his liking.

          Great driver nice personality just cant seem to get it going in the right direction. I wish him the best of luck and it would be great to see him back running consistantly.

          I dont understand the modified as vinny salerno has top notch equiptment but they seem to be missing set up or tires there.

            Tight budget? LOL (It's June 19th and they have already had 3 new cars this year)

            Rocket Chassis as a whole is behind right now

            As for the modified deal the 4* team switched to a new chassis design (HigFab) this year and Tim has never run it so there will be growing pains.

              Glad to see your input. I consider you the authority on T-MAC on this forum
              So whats your gut feeling. Will he or wont he leave Rocket again?

              Also Vinnie should have never changed design of his new modified. Timmy was winning in the old car and was FAST everywhere they went.

                Im tlkn bout tight budget for complete yr so if they had to spend more than anticpated then it makes it harder.

                  I think he would do better in a longhorn or black dimond personally.

                    I didnt know they changed mod chassis. What was the reasoning for that?

                      Car owner is very good friends with the new chassis builder (Jerry Higbie)

                        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.

                          Has tmac ever run a non big block mod?

                          Would like to see him run against the stricklers, Hoffmanns and all the other renegade modified smash pedals.........I'll bet that would be something to see.

                            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.

                              if i remember correctly,he was running up front in a warrior and winning some,then he got back in the rockets and everyone thought he was going to set the world on fire,i don't think a chassis change will help as much as someone with some setup knowledge would, i just think they have fallen a little behind and rocket(josh)doesn't have the answers for him because he's playing catch up too after the time off,they will get it figured out again its going to take some time and testing,
