Lucas Oil and WoO Rosters

If I was erb I would think about running the summer nationals... too many heavy hitters in Lucas for him to finish very high in the points

He started to run better after the switch to club 29, but I agree he should make a move. If he went WOO this year he could be in top 3 in points at the end of the year. I don't think we will see him make that drastic of a move to leave both major tours for the summer nats though.

It's a new day. If the nay sayers looked at Davenport or Clanton, this time last year, they would have said, Why, they don't have a chance.

If you can win, you think you can win, till the purse strings make you tap out. You have to be tough in the mental department to be a good racer. Nobody can beat you quicker than your own mind. This is one of the reasons, driver have hot and cold streaks. Who knows, who is going to get hot tomorrow.

Rumley is the only engineer involved with DLM?

The inmates should run the asylumm?

Got it...

This is all a gross over reaction to a team that had a great year, the fact people didn't figure it out in 3 races, and some belief the Rumley is an unmatched wizard.

And show me where he actually said he wanted more rules.

He wanted a rule book that was more clear, yes I'm paraphrasing, but along them lines. It's on YouTube or DoD, not sure which.

You know who they went to to change the rules, they did it right. WoO formed a committee, Lucas just did it.

Of course he's not, but he's the only one crewing a car kicking everyone's a$$. And yeah they overreacted, but change in anything is usually met with resistance. It'll be ok, late models will be fine, and the winners will still be winners. Just hopefully a few more win this year.

Mason Zeigler will hit and miss both Lucas and WoO races all year (Most All The Bigger Ones) in his 25Z car. BUT, plans on running some more Local Shows in the 43A car. Will not run any series full time!

erb will have his best season ever in 2016, that's my prediction. stay right where you are dennis and heather.

T-MAC will be just fine running Lucas. He's proven to be more than competitive at East Bay in years past, and he's also enjoyed solid runs at Knoxville and the other Lucas races he has entered over the past couple of years.

Just because Steve Francis hasn't been able to find his @$$ with both hands since switching from WoO to Lucas, doesn't mean that T-Mac and Lanigan won't be successful.

B-Shepp is another great example. He ran primarily UMP and WoO events until '15 and he did just fine last year.

The guy that nobody is talking about right now is the guy that everyone on the Lucas tour should be looking out for in '16 and that's Bloomer. Personally, I can't stand the guy, but he has the Lucas series right where he wants them...focused on everyone and everything else that is going on.

Undoubtedly, the list of drivers starting '16 with Lucas is impressive, but there will be at least one or two that will decide to drop off the tour sooner rather than later.

I could even see somebody who had plans on running Lucas running badly at Golden Isles deciding to hit Screven instead of East Bay to see what happens there.

100% pure speculation on my part....but might we see a gentleman who just picked up a brand new car from Stuckey's shop last week decide to roll the dice on the WoO tour for '16?

That would be awesome!!

Bloomers still got to catch the #6

They are already ahead of him going into goldn Isle !

I still think the NDRA was much deeper in pure talent than either the WoO or Lucas is today....

On one hand I can see JD and Rumley comin back to lucas and show em up like last year but I can see em jumping ship and run woo.

[dirtdobber45]

If I was choosing a series Id look thru each schedule to see which has the most tracks that fit my driving skills. Not all smarts are in the car, its what suits the driver (car and tracks) to win

This is true but it would sure help if the 0, 5, 6, 15 , and 20 cars weren't at that track that night.
