    I don't pay the bills for any teams and I don't drive, but if I did, I would run either Cornett or Clements, hands down. I know there are lots of strong engines out there, but those two brands seem to be reliable and at the top, year in and year out.

      The only thing Norma ever said that made sense, Cornett motors are as good as you can get, But they are expensive!! But on the other hand all motors are expensive. I seen a check back in 2008 for 2 Cornett motors, I could have bought a small farm!

        I get you don't like Rocket for whatever reason, but Josh has been tearing it up as well. And most of the guys with XR1's like them and are running well. I think Mark and Josh will give him info. He's a valuable asset on the other series.

        Carrier who I like a lot, had waayyyy more issues than just the car. Not sure how you're going to compare Eddies terrible running, with every other Rocket. But since it fits your opinion, I guess so.
        Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

              There is little to no change in most guys with those cars. It is just a chassis.

                Now now little buddy. Just because I don't dumb things down to your level doesn't mean they don't make sense. I gotta say though, you are one of my favorite people on 4m because it's always so cute when you try to throw a zinger. Brings a smile to my face, like when a little kid is trying to reach something on the top shelf.

                  Same can be said for all of them. They are all just bars of steel welded together.

                    That last sentence is a great descriptor for the early longhorn program........how EPJ drove that beast to the dtwc is beyond me.

                      Not so sure about toast but there are quite a few other short kids that frequent 4m.........or so I've noticed lately.

                            Yet you expect a change of pace from the 20?

                              Not sure if Jimmy was in the new XR-1 tonight at Florence or not wasn't there due to work schedule but, he finished 16th. So do you all think it's the powerplant possibly? or Chris Fox's absence? Or maybe a combination of the two? Like someone stated earlier maybe a Sweet-Bloomquist chassis, Cornett engine, and the return of Chris would put him back on top. Not really sure...
