Rumley Rockets

Revelation, no "S". Thank you.

"Revelation 10:4. And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not."

I'm not making the connection...

Are you still in the shock business.

Let me start by saying that I love innovators therefore I like Kevin rumley, he is what grassroots racing is about. However, this place is ridiculous, its as if nobody here has ever come in contact with a high IQ. Which might be true. Rumley himself feeds off of it and has taken on this arrogant character that spouts off on twitter and wears NASA shirts. If he was seriously as smart as he or you think then hed be doing something else. He'd be clocking in at Hendrick or NASA like his shirts claim. And don't even start with he loves dirt late models. Everybody needs more money and if he was really kid genius he'd be somewhere making more of it.

That being said I hope he develops undetectable jet propulsion and wins the Daytona 500 in a leaf spring Rayburn.

That's funny you say that because, he was making more money at job he quit to come work for his dad's race team. I have no doubt he could get a job at Hendricks if he wanted one.

It was either well copied, or help was given. All you have to do is look at it.

So because they "look" alike, it's a copy? The only cars that look off from the rest is the Swartz cars. And if you think they are a copy, go ask. I heard the rumor last year that Kevin was going to Rocket, but obviously it wasn't true. So it's all BS till someone has the proof. They all had to step up their game because of Kevin. Either step it up, or quit. And judging by today, I think that blue 1 junk Rocket has stepped it up. I'm thinking of passing the God torch to Mark.

All I ever read on here is Dumley is the second coming of Jesus and the smartest man on the planet. I hope all of you that believe that are living in trailers way back in the woods somewhere and not around normal people to pollute the gene pool. Rocket has been building WINNING race cars for years and years and years. If you believe that Dumley is the only person that can build a race car you are simply a fool... Take away their driver and they are back to being an average race team.

While I agree the Rumley God complex gets old, the guy is very smart. You're not a top engineer at CV Products and being some dummy. They are still a good team without JD. I think they hit on their stuff just as JD was coming in to his driving. I think the chemistry between JD and Kevin is what works for them. As long they are together, they'll be tough. I think apart, Kevin would have more success than JD, jmo.

I agree for sure. I'm guessing he got tired of that atmosphere.

I ain't talking about bodywork.

I ain't talking about bodywork.

You definetly know what your talking about here!! All these guys think just because there wasn't an announcement between the two parties that nothing happened. I find it amazing, how some think a miracle happened at Rocket late last fall and they found speed with testing and hard work. Give him credit, he never stays down for long no matter what the cost. Josh will light it up this year!! The question, will other guys who left Rocket and come back get what Josh has under the sheet metal? Mark is a competitive guy!! He will get Josh a few Crown Jewels this year!! No matter the cost.

[mud duck]

Given Marks involvement and influence with WoO over the years and if Josh goes on a role like JD did last year on the Lucas tour. Do you think the WoO would change rules to "sort of" stop the advantage like Lucas Oil series tried? Or Just let it be?

[kidrock]

I agree for sure. I'm guessing he got tired of that atmosphere.

Probably plus he could always go back and get an engineering job if he wanted one either with a Fortune 500 company if he wants one.

I'll freely admit I dunno (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) about the cars themselves, but the attitude of the 1 and 6 on the track definitely resemble each other just from looking at pics of'em at speed this weekend. Not so coincidentally I guess, the results weren't much different either.

They had a longhorn chassis in the shop, and hired an engineer to redesign the new rocket chassis.. they dropped the front down tubes straight down instead of outwords toward the bumper to make the chassis look different than the longhorn..

[old fan]

todays race they had Shirley and davenport line up together it look like their bodys were not the same

Shirley's is a Longborn by Randy Weaver, whose cars I've also noticed don't act/drive similarly to the 6 or look exactly alike the 6. (Again, to my uneducated eye.)
