Davenport, Absolutely UNBELIEVABLE!!

[Okfine]

Eddie Carrier Jr has the same LR tire. You guys are looking in the wrong direction.

Yep......it's out there in plain sight.

The consperorists should try a different theory.......open eyes....actually listen instead of gum flapping.....and take notes.

I absolutely love it....and being an old guy, love it even more that Leroy is providing the hp for this epic run.

I think what everybody is missing is that they are using lightweight lead for the ballast.......mystery solved.

They're just on their game. Everything's clicking.

Pretty obvious the Rumley/Davenport Team are having fun with this run of success. Good for them. They've definitely got everyone scrambling.

I saw the tapered leaf under there, but kept quiet.

I preface this all with saying I rarely post because I can't believe how far off base and wild many post are but I have read every post this far on this topic and can't hold back. I have been watching JD/Rumley all year very closely and they are on a roll I believe is much deserved and you can see how the program has evolved since Kevin began focus on the team full time. This is family and driver that's paid their dues. Kevin said himself in his DirtonDirt feature "They (Dirt Late Models) are not designed well at all, really. No disrespect to anybody, but, it's like, the driver and the tires, and the motor have always been picking up the slack. When you start looking at the fundamental problems of these cars and start to solve them, that's when your a half a second faster than the field and that's what we've done this year." JD has consistently mentioned throughout the year that the efforts Kevin has put in on the Shock dyno has been huge to their success. Kevin said that in his feature how important the Proper shock and spring packages are. This is not a real ground breaking moment IMHO as most guys are already focused here. But he went on to say "our fourte is bigger tracks where we can use aerodynamics or body posture..." Which brings me to my first point and I really noticed it more than ever at Florence for the North/South from the in field. Almost the entire way around the track his spoiler apears to be above his roof. JD's body posture was much different from everyone else. Creating what reminds me of a an old wedge car aero package. Most other cars react much different and sit down and the spoiler height drops. And we all know deck height is huge and have all done it and try to sneak an extra inch or two. But Kevin seems to be able to allow the chassis to create that height. Which brings me to my second thought. I watched JD and crew take their car through tech at Florence Friday. I noticed each time the car stopped they would stand behind the car covering the LR suspension (Someone else also mentioned seeing this in a previous post). This also occurred while it was in tech to the point JD got off the 4 wheeler to stand their as his crew guy took off the hood, etc. They did look through the LR suspension in tech and obviously it passed. So I spoke with two nationally known crew chiefs and a touring driver about it. Each believed the LR Birdcage setup and suspension is the change Kevin has made. The driver mentioned he has been testing it (or their own version) the last few weeks and feels as though he has significantly improved his car. As I watched JD all weekend his body posture was quick to react and change and bring the rear of the car up and really kind of stay there. One crew chief said they had tried something similar previously but could not prefect it. I personally and determined to figure this out as well for our team. But I will be studying it much more closely and put a stop watch on it to determine if the advantage is corner speed much like Jimmy Owens brought to light on his quick rise to dominance or where exactly JD is exponentially quicker. Hopefully that will help us pin point it better. But anyway you shape it this is much deserved. Even as impressive as JD has been prior to this year he had never won a crown jewel and to this point in the season he's won them all. And Kevin gave up his full time job to make this run and apply his skills to solve problems he's found side by side with his father who builds their engines.
