Testing

Will the BAM 49 car be testing also..It seams that it would be a good chance to get a couple more cars on the track...I hope Robby brings at least 2 cars but 4 would be alot better..

OH FOR PETE'S SAKE-If all ya'all think you can "just" go out and "buy,lease,barrow"a race winning chassis,your delusional.A chassis has endless (yet restricted adjustments) combinations of adjustments.
How many of you expert couch-cheifs can talk roll centers, camber curves,shock valving,linear,digressive?
How many of you expert engine builder's can talk cam timing,carb tuning?Have you touched or worked on a dog transmission? Or have any idea how a Detriot Locker works?I'm sure the guys at RGM have a DAMN good idea!

Robby and Nemechek are the only Toyota teams running TRIAD motors.
Although the motors perform very well in Nationwide and Trucks,they have a long way to go in Cup.You get what you pay for!

Nothing,don't know ,can't.
Don't know the difference between a connecting rod or a canniferin pin.

Look at the performance of the two TRIAD motors vs. all other Toyotas
Ask Mark Cronquist,Nationwide engine builder of the year

I'm sure there are teams out there that would allow RGM to buy a chassis. But as guarded as the technical aspects of the sport are, what would stop them from selling Robby a lemon, last years model, or some other combination that would be determental in comparison. What RGM is doing is the right thing to build their program. They need to build their own cars, test them, see what works, and continue to move forward based on the collected info. Oh I have heard the arguement about how the team has been open for five years now and should be putting out better product by now. Maybe. But you also have to take into consideration how much everything has changed since 2005. If a team could have worked on the same package for 5 years then I could see the validity of the complaints. But since the introduction of the brick (COT), different manufacturers, different motors, always changing tire compounds, etc... it seems whenever the team gets a handle on it, something is changed from outside their control. Food for thought??
