Davenport, Absolutely UNBELIEVABLE!!

[hotshoe65s]

The question is, will series ban whatever suspension tricks he is using? Last year they banned Bloomer's trick setup after bloomer spent a year or so fine tuning it. Something needs to be done or everyone without a team engineer and $5,000 worth of data acquisition hardware and software will be out to lunch against the guys who have it.
And that is coming from an engineer who could be one of those team engineers. But I don't want to see our sport come to that. It's already expensive enough.

amazing run they are on. i like seeing a different face other then bloomer, owens or oneal winning all the races. nobody stays on top of the racing world for long but you still cant take anything away from them on this season. i wonder if the team is already working on other ideas to stay ahead when others catch up or are they just riding out this current wave?

If these knock-off devices that guys are trying are close, then I don't think it will be outlawed.

I think he's running underinflated tires............deflategate2

Trust me....K Rumley is not riding the current wave. He's always thinking ahead. One smart dude!! Enjoying the success now, but like he said, it could end next week.

I can't figure it out we're just going to have to let Scott Bloomquist find their advantage.

[chupp n bloomer fan]

It's all over social media too. Some are even going on to say they can't believe Lucas is letting this happen, they are just letting it go to sell tickets.....smh. I'd like to know what they want Lucas to do? Ban him from competition?

It would be all fine and dandy if it were their favorite driver doing all of this winning I'm sure.

One of the reasons I don't have Facebook, Twitter, etc. I don't see how this can help you sell tickets, you go wanting to see great racing. When you got one guy pretty well stinking them up, I can't see that helping you sell tickets.

The same whining happened when Moyer, Bloomer, Owens, etc. got on a roll. It's mostly because of the social media craze. Now everyone can complain and moan, including us.

Kevin is a smart guy applying all his knowledge and obviously thinking outside the box. Will they possibly rewrite the rule book again, who knows? He's on a roll and I'm anxious to see who can catch him. Bloomer seems to be close, but not close enough. JD n Kevin are still faster than everyone. He wins the World 100, and it is IMO the greatest season ever. I'm going, so I hope not. I'd rather see a surprise winner than JD, Bloomer, etc.

Nah, all the crying is going on because he is whipping up on overinflated EGOS!!!!!!!

From what I heard. They banned Bloomquist from using a certain type of shocks at the end of last year. Because the shocks cost so much. Davenport better enjoy this year.

Ya all thinking JD is so good right now you're wrong! It just that everyone else sucks!!

Jimmy Owens probably wins that race last night. If he didnt spin out in lap traffic. But he did and Jd won.

If it was easy, everyone would do it. Even all Engineers are not created equal. I've seen some Shade tree engineers that where worth more than some of the schooled ones. One thing is certain. What comes around, goes around. As we have seen from the past, any advantage is short lived. The 6 team should enjoy this while it lasts.

I think this is good for the sport. Who is going to stay home the night Superman gets whooped. If you have Heros, you have to have Villains. Johnathon will be a Hero till the Boo birds come out. It's always been this way even before Media.

[Dirt Racing #1]

No sorry jds faster times that owens and he was only running at 80%.

How do you jd was running at only 80%? Are you in his pit crew? You have no way of knowing . If Owens car wouldnt have gotten better in the long run.

[dirtracr33]

wtf w/ these dolly parton purses...50 to 10?...most of these guys are running 100 laps for less than 3 grand...no wonder you see birky, smith etc. moved on....the traveler that runs 10th needs to make enough to get down the road too...

i'd rather see a 30 to win 5 to start show anyday..

[Dirt Racing #1]

He"ll enjoy next yr also!

But it wont be nearly as many times victory lane

LOL I think your wrong the data is already there , if the rumors are true it helped speed up there setups BIG DEAL , I remember when Bloomquist and Moyer were bringing shock machines to the track and building shock dynos to test them . I see the Rumley team building off what they have already learned this year , its not some magical device thats manipulating something like Bloomquist , Lanigan and others did .

Its not like there doing what Bloomquist was , using a shock that could be manipulated during a race which in my opinion is ridiculous . Bloomquist has drove the cost of this sport up more than ANYONE and now he is whining about Kevin Rumley . Its really funny if you think about it .

In the words of Allen Iverson in a "Practice" interview , were talking about data here , data something that any one of them can acquire .

I saw a go pro camera pointed under the chassis of Bobby Pierce's racecar during a heat , you know what they aquired some data BIG DEAL . The more you learn the more you earn .Bloomquist is just mad that he can't apply data the way Rumley is .
