I think you missed my point. If you were a prominent car builder like Rocket and one of probably the top 5 active drivers in dlm had been struggling and switched to your car, wouldn't you make an extra effort to make sure he looks good out of the box? That's all I'm saying, we all know the XR-1's can be fast, but like every car built its gotta have the right setup before it can reach its full potential, no matter who is driving. I'm not saying put your own money into it, but make sure he's got the hot setup, it only makes you look that much better. I would.Originally posted by Highside Hustler25 View PostI've never heard of anyone purchasing a chassis and getting a tech man thrown in for free.

Jason Feger was looking pretty sporty in his heat Thursday, what kind of car does he have now? Kinda hate he quit building his own stuff, it seem to work real good.Last edited by Aces&Eights; 08-13-2016, 12:53 PM.

He started 1st in the 1st heat and finished 1st. He started at the back of the 2nd heat and finished 3rd. He starts tonights feature from the 5th spot. Guess he looked better than all but 4 driversOriginally posted by Aces&Eights View PostI think you missed my point.

Congrats to the Newport Nightmare
Wow, Jimmy looked really good last night, just watched it on DoD. He's a sharp chassis guy I knew he'd get it figured out, I guess the car just needed a few tweaks to be wright and a motor change...(LOL) Congrats on a strong run, keep the momentum going into tonight. The O-Show is Back!
Moyer was looking pretty good and The Real Deal was on a mission, wow.Last edited by Aces&Eights; 08-13-2016, 01:06 PM.

When did Owens change engine builders? And that Rocket tweak seems to really work since he was the last car on the lead lap both Thursday and Saturday. Yep, he's back alright. If he's so smart with chassis, then why the need to be in his third chassis brand in 2.5 years?Originally posted by Aces&Eights View PostWow, Jimmy looked really good last night, just watched it on DoD.

Did I say anywhere in anything I posted ever he was going to now be Bloomer with the switch to an XR1? Nope. Could he do much worse, not really. He had to change, is this the right move, I dunno. But he has for the most part run like sh!t. If he'd switched to Longhorn, would you be so critical of the switch?Originally posted by MasterSbilt_Racer View PostYet you expect a change of pace from the 20?Up in the air who my next “favorite†driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normalâ€.

That statement was directed at MR. Of course they aren't, but to think one is magical and the other is scrap steel because you don't like Josh and Mark is ludicrous. It's all in what fits your style.Originally posted by Aces&Eights View PostWhat goes up, must come down and it hit with a dull thud in 16th, a lap down...
Really? Not shaking the car down was what happened, c'mon. I'm sure he'll improve tonight, but according to the NASA diehards this was to be magic, lightning in a bottle, but it was worse than I thought it would be. Jimmy can drive no doubt, but I have to disagree on the, "It's just a lump of tubing" argument. If Rocket was serious about showing what their car can do in the right hands they should've made sure that car was spot on before it left Shinnston and sent a tech man with him. Missed opportunity...Up in the air who my next “favorite†driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normalâ€.

It's obvious Jimmy doesn't have the car set up as good as Josh's yet. Owens had to run the top most of the night where as Josh's car sticks to the middle night after night. Give the O Show time. He'll figure it out. Guaranteed.8/13/16

I think if they can hit the setup and get his driving style and the car to work together it will be a pretty good pair just will take a few races

Could have done that with the Wright car. Or is Moran just that much better?Originally posted by stevensracing_6 View PostI think if they can hit the setup and get his driving style and the car to work together it will be a pretty good pair just will take a few racesModern Day Spec Wedge Racing

I think one of the worst thing is a chassis builder is to have a house car. 1. They are always going to be accused of not giving their customers the same set up as the house car especially if the house driver is their son. 2. They will start building cars to fit the house driver instead of what most customers need. Yes they need a car for testing but not competing against their paying customers.
