Is Bob Pierce still selling Rocket cars or is that a done deal ?
Whatever happened to Pierce cars anyway??
Still building......Bobby is back in 1 and I know Unzicker has stuck with them as well.
They said they never really even sold anyQuote:

That Pierce Platinum has like somewhere around 200+ races under it. I'd say it's a pretty good piece no matter what it looks like considering it's still winning races,Quote:

So there back out there knocking RR panels off the car, it's a platinum chassis, and he's back racing for wins. Chassis did one heck of a turn around.
Bob became a dealer before the dunn Benson deal happened. And they had their personal rocket cars going pretty good before they bent them up. And I'm not saying they straight up copied anything but Bobby's new cars have a little different look about them then pre xr-1 like it or not they definitely applied some "new tricks"Quote:

This is true. I don’t think they ever intended to actually sell any Rockets.Quote:

Why would he apply "new tricks" when he ran better in the BP cars than he did the Rockets? Had the Rockets been the answer for Bobby they would have stayed running them. That was the original plan well before DB hired him.Quote:

samgood must have extremely slow Internet. They are always interested in something that's 2-3 years old.
