I was sittin here wondering what dose Bloomer/Owens and the rest of the Team Zero do with thier old cars, do they cut them up for scrap or use them for test cars trying diff things. Also what is asked of you when you become a part of Team Zero? I mean you buy the car dont you? Do u have to sell them back to him or what?

theyll most likely update them, possibly sell them as used chassis but when purchasing a bloomquist chassi you are required to purchase 2 chassis up front and you are required to give team zero/bloomquist chassis the option to buy them back before sellign them to someone else. If not you'd be taken to court and depending on the wording could be liable for quite a bit of money for selling intellectual property related to wha tis under their cars specifically....in terms of technology just because you pay for the part doesnt give you the right to sell it nor make copies of it. its all in the wording of the contract and the patents and copyright protection that they have registered for through the us patent office

also know that chassis usually are good for several years before fatigue sets in or the welds start to crack or rigidity changes. being the team isnt quite that old yet it is most likely possible that the chassis arent even due for an update for anything more than new geometric changes in the suspension
