Tim needs to figure out how to get the car to turn running the middle of the track. He's been fast on the top when there's been a cushion but seems out to lunch on the slicked off tracks.

He's always been like that.
As for his current problem. I'm not so sure it's the cars themselves, but it's more who's turning the wrenches on them cars.
[QUOTE=mud duck;1951013]It appears some drastic changes were made to Josh's car, why is TMac still struggling? HQUOTE]
and people still wonder where the #18 Club 29 car was at from the time the rumor surfaced about him having one (and it being denied) until he brought it to the track.

Yes, that says it all!! You both got it. Mark will never give the full recipe! Maybe a pinch of this or a pinch of that!! Chub said it, if your not giving technical support, time to move elsewhere.

I wouldn't leave Rocket yet, I'd give it one more year then go from there. Timmy hasn't done sh!t for the most part since that wreck. A couple of big wins, and then nothing. And I'd be changing my crew too. But if Mark isn't giving him the info, I wouldn't stay much longer. Though his loyalty is not very high since he did leave and go to Warrior.
And I'm a big TMac fan.
Up in the air who my next “favorite†driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normalâ€.
I was at the WOO races this past weekend. McCreadie started 23rd and ran 4th was battling for the 2nd on Friday. So his car must be something. The big difference today is the teams ability to adjust and be prepared to race. Walking around the 39 car over the weekend it is easy to see where the shortfalls are and it is more than a chassis. Eddie Carrier ran 2nd on Friday and McCreadie was 4th. The Longhorn camp wasn't in the top 5. And they were well represented Eckert, Frank and Ferguson. On Saturday Jared Hawkins ran with Josh for 15-20 laps and finish a close 3rd to Clanton. Hawkins is a great driver that is a regional racer and does not have the funding like a team like McCreadies. He took the same chassis as McCreadie a WOO star and ran 3rd. RJ Conley finished 5th in a Rocket on Saturday. And again no Longhorns in the top 5. Then I traveled up to Erie and while walking around the pit area I was talking to a crew guy on Mike Knights team. He proceeded to tell me that they are struggling with their new Longhorn. Knight has been in Rockets for years and always has been competitive at the bigger races over the past few years. But on Sunday he was a non factor in a Longhorn. David Scott was another local in a Longhorn that has always been competitive when I have watched him at the bigger races in the past with Rocket cars. Again he was a non factor. Richards did stink up the show but it wasn't a complete run away Richards and Clanton put on a great race for about 15-20 laps. And Chub in his Lognhorn at one of his home tracks where he cut his teeth finish a distance 4th after starting 4th. He was battling Max Blair in a Rocket who started back a ways. Guess what I got out of the weekend was Chub isn't much better than he was, McCreadies whole program doesn't look to be clicking because he is a great driver that could'nt run as well as a regional racer in the same chassis with less funding, Eckert is about the same as he was last year and Clanton should be glad that Josh wasn't running all season like he is now.
