the same one that right of the box caught on fire and ran into the new Lucas truck?!?! oh wait... master pieces in metal dont worry about new car blues!!!!
his new truck didnt look any faster than new comers like patrick clark that are still figuring out old and "out dated" chassis'
When a man knows how to live dangerously, he is not afraid to die. When he is not afraid to die, he is, strangely, free to live.
With that mentality though, I guess we could also make 2 TT classes for those guys that just can't keep up with the faster TTs. Oh wait.... This is racing. - Dan Vance

... Not even worth arguing, but obviously you weren't in Utah.
RW showed up to Utah as the sun was coming up Saturday morning with zero track time... He JUST finished the truck and was buttoning up some final details in the pits.. no time to dial the shocks in, no time to check every last fitting, no time to do a leak test etc.. It was a hell of a haul to roll the dice on the new truck!! He was able to take it home after Utah, put a fresh prep on it (because im assuming he wasn't able to blow it apart after he built it) and came to GH with guns a blazing!!! This is only the beginning ...
I've seen the cad drawings of RW's new truck, I've had lengthy discussions with RW regarding his new truck ... The kid has his head on straight and in the right direction. I'd be willing to bet that sooner than later you'll see people wanting/purchasing/racing RW chassis..
lol why?!?! your super engineered modern marvel pro 2 not as cool as you'd like
While theres always room for improvement I'm pretty satisfied with our results so far with minimal and Utah no testing. I'm not sure how many teams don't deal with or believe in "new truck blues" but if you didn't hear we loaded the truck at 11:45 friday night after driving it up and down the street for ten minutes...Went to miller missed qualifying , got one 5 minute practice made 4 turns to the bypasses up front. Started 16th and proceeded to charge to 4th place. Spun out on my own doing back to 11th and finished 5th ahead of alot of fast trucks. Somewhere in that race we ran 3rd fast lap to Deegan and Mac. The next day we had a defected oil fitting break and had a catastrophic fire.
Spent the whole month of July rebuilding our burnt truck when we would have liked to test...Proceeded to lake elsinore Tuesday to shake the truck down. Unloaded at glen helen qualified bad due to som shock adjustmments I made. Got penalized for leaving out my window nets and started 2nd to last and again charged through a stacked field to 6th. Sunday starting 8th we ran a solid race fighting off Mac for 6 laps after loosing the hood and covering my vision. Again we ran the 3rd fastest lap Deegan,MC, myself. THe running order as I remember was Deegan,MC,Woods,Mac,Carl,Adler,Hart,Ampudia.etc... All the top teams still running strong accept Hart with electrical. So I concure that my Super engineered truck is fairly proven in two weekends with under 100 laps on it. I also remember a good deal of DNF's from deegan and Macs new trucks at the start of the season to "New truck Blues" We haven't won YET. So there is still lots of room to get better. But it would be foolish to under estimate the new rocket!
