            Rumley may be in phase 2 but Davenport isn't. Let's reflect on 2014, Davenport and Rumley was a typical mid pack and a 3 to 5 win team a season. They were not what they are now until the left rear contraption came along. If the Lucas rules take away the device and put them back on the standard 4 bar then the Rumley team goes back to normal and zero goes back to the front and the world goes back to normal. There has been plenty of fads in the dirt world but there has only been one constant and that's bloomy. I'm not a fan of bloomy but let's be realistic here, put Davenport driving a normal car and Rumley wrenching on it and they are right back to where they were in 2014. The longhorn is just another car and the only one winning has the device. Madden does what he always does, Billy ogle does what he always does and Randy weaver does what he always does, they're gonna be fast regardless of what they're sitting in. But reflect on 2014 and take the thru shaft shocks and penskes overly expensive version of the magne shock and the j damper and the field would 've been much tighter. People gripe because the racing world gets butt hurt over innovation but if you call innovation spending 10,000 on a set of shocks or completely 're inventing the rear suspension of a dirt late model and the competitor can't buy it, then you're insane. Lucas has to step up and make nascar type rules. I said for years that the Roush appearance in dirt was gonna hurt and it drove the costs of engines up and now I think the effects of Rumley is coming, we are gonna have 3,000 dollar bird cages. Rant over go ahead and preach how Jesus Davenport don't need Rumley etc... I'm not biased folks I just know that with Davenport and Rumley and they're "device" the locals are less likeley to enter a Lucas race. This isnt formula 1 even if some want it to be that way. Much respect for what the mentioned teams have done

              People who just want to be able to buy a copy of the fastest car are not real racers. They are lazy guys with a fat wallet.

              I guess we should all still be on monoleafs. Geez...

                        On the shoulda, woulda, coulda front, I wish Davenport and the Rumley team would run the WoO circuit in 2016 just to see if they could win that series back to back with the Lucas Oil championship.

                            I haven't seen the rules yet, but they took away a bunch of methods to fix a glaring issue with the cars. And there was no reason to do it. And it didn't take serious testing to find gains. There are always things to expliot. They are not always in reach of backyard engineering.

                            It sets a horrible precedent when a collection of cheap parts are outlawed because it was successful. It puts us on the path to NASCAR type rules. I have no interest in that type of racing.

                              I see JRI is now selling the shock/limiter that davenport was using. It might be obsolete with the rule changes.
