Depends on what your meaning of good is. But Erb is the best club/bd left.

The move makes sense 2me.. Touring the country IS TUFF DEAL!!! And never hurts having the Defending WOO Champion too bounce ideas off set ups and whatknotts

I don't know of any Club 29 cars in Central, PA aside from Glenn Elliot and Chad Hollenbeck, neither of whom are really lighting the world on fire (Hollenbeck has been solid though and Elliot has been running against very stiff competition this season).

Thanks,
Jeff.

I was going to bring up the fact he has seemed to be the only one on the national level in the last month knocking down top 5's. Looks like he is racing in the feature well just needs to improve his qualifying. I think he's figured something out on them. Maybe ol darrel can ask him so he can get up to speed.

Weren't they running like 10 shocks on a car in various locations.

I think that was in the 2016 rule changes, and 2015 changes were the exotic shocks. Could change them on the fly supposedly. If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will enlighten me.

I never seen 10 shocks on any of them, the most I've seen on one car was 7 and that wasn't on a BD/club29 car....... this driver is still winning.

Everyone seems to forget what Lanigan done over the winter. When he jumped over on with Bowyer, he left behind Integra, and switched to Penske. He has been on Integra shocks for as long as I can remember. He knows the Integra shocks inside and out. It may sound dumb, but I about bet that is a lot of his struggle. He was very hands on when he ran on his own, that's not so much the case anymore.

Those cars still competitive on a local/regional level. They're far from a sinking ship. This sport is just revolving door. Which makes it very interesting to me at times.

zyoung kind of touched on a point (well not really a point, more of an observation), but every time the big teams starting having fire sales on their chassis to hop on a new bandwagon, this is a great opportunity for local/crate guys to pick up nice used cars on the cheap(er). Used DLM chassis are everywhere, almost as bad as modifieds. Seems like everybody has two used modifieds for sale. There are some nice race cars that can be bought for not a ton of money.

Was he not still running Integra before he quit the WoO last year??

Who then?

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.

If you think Stuckey is only smart on setups and you think building them is a "different animal", then tell me who you think is more qualified to build a chassis other than Stuckey? I bet you Stuckey/Lanigan is working around the clock and harder on everything. Go ahead and throw a Longhorn name out there and while your doing it, give me the # of who at Longhorn is more qualified than Lanigan, Stuckey, and Bowyer's resources..

He was running Integras last year when he was struggling. So I don't think switching to Penske Shocks was the problem. Bloomquist, Madden and others seem to be doing ok with Penske Shocks. Club/BD seems to be having bigger problems than shocks.. Ship looks like it has big holes and people are jumping fast.

As his UN implies.. only facts...

Lanigan needs to get off the road and get back to the shop and do some work if he wants his retirement plan to be there when he retires. I'm sure if he can get back in his own car and go R&D some stuff they can get it figured out. I doubt Boyer lets them do all kinds of R&D on his car(s) and Jameson is a good wheel man but not the caliber of Lanigan so he isn't going to be a reliable R&D driver either.

Thanks,
Jeff.

Club 29/BD got really big too quick to keep up IMO.
