    Word on the street

    Is that longhorn is closing their doors ... Supposedly labonte has soo much money that it's not worth his time to sell it and doesn't make enough money to keep it. This sounds like complete BS to me ...

    The last I heard they had a waiting list that led into next year if you wanted a car. Not sure how those deals work, I'm guessing you put the money up, they build the car, then you come and get it.

    I'd be a lil upset if I spent the kind of money they ask for a car and never got it.

      Heard that to, but I also think it's BS.
      Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

          If this is true where does rumley go? If I were him I would look into it myself and keep everyone in place just relocate. JMO tho.

                There are some pretty big rumors going around right now. I guess we will see in the off season.

                    Somebody got into the wv moonshine stash and was running up and down the dirt road in the holler yelling it...........I guess that counts as a street.

                        Barbecueboy usually you aren't out there to far but if you think it's the jig getting it done then you know far less than I gave you credit for. I've heard one name floating out there that wants to buy them out and it surprised me when I heard it because I don't know where he'd get that kind of money.

                          Not only is the rumor true, but Rumley has already agreed to work for another chassis builder. Start paying attention to some of the cars at your local track. There's a certain brand that is already running the Rumley suspension set up.

                            So you're saying that it's no coincidence that about the time Rumley and rocket rumors hit the 1 got fast again all of a sudden.

                              It's just part of the equation, my statement was more of 850 isn't going to buy that operation .

                              Sorry for the confusion......should have said 850 won't buy the proprietary knowledge.
