          I look to see a Lanigan/Stuckey split someday soon. Lanigan got into chassis building for the wrong reasons to begin with. I do believe Stuckey is a smart man on setting up race cars but building them is a different animal. They have done well in a short time but Bloomquist, Davenport, and Richards are really probably putting a lot more hard work and testing into their programs right now and it shows. This sport is getting more high tech every day.

            welcome to the lucas series,cream of the crop,I'm sure he will start back winning sooner or later but it will take some testing,and if they all want to sell cars,they better start soon,nothing wrong with his stuff,just needs some fine tuning,look at all the longhorns out there,not everyone is just winning everything they show up too,you still have to drive the thing along with setup as the track dries off, i know alot of guys that can't drive bloomers cars,they are super tight cars and you better understand springs because his stuff doesn't flex,thats also the difference between knowing and understanding these cars and just driving,alot of these guys go out and buy this stuff and expect all the info but then don't want to test and find an edge,DO YOU REALLY THINK THERE GOING TO GIVE YOU THE EDGE THEY HAVE,HELLO THEY RACE FOR A LIVING,they will get you very close but not all of it,the only person thats gets all the info from the top guy i would say is landers

                    We'll be saying all the same things about rocket (again) in a couple years, then Bloomquist cars, then Longhorn, etc, and people will be wanting the new Club 29 that's started winning (whenever that is). Then they'll all take turns winning again. You all have been around long enough to know it goes in cycles.

                      Yes I sure am a25rjr. And NormP, you hit the nail on the head. So many on here just love it if they think others are going to fail. But on the other hand, I am always up for a good laugh. And some of the comments on here REALLY make me laugh.

                          Honestly, I don't care for Lanigan too much, but I know Stuckey's a good dude. Im sure they'll figure these cars out!

                            Ran as high as second before finishing 5th. Looked solid, think he may have gotten shuffled out on a restart.

                              I believe the CBR cars had the ultra exotic shocks too.

                                What is exotic? The Disco cars have been sliding since the end of 13' or 14' when Lanigan was on his tear. Sure they've had a few victories since, but the trend was less and less, same as the Shinnston mobiles. Now Rocket, Longhorn, Capital & Zero have shuffled Club back down the ladder. Maybe GRT will re-emerge or Warrior.
