I heard awhile back we could be down a Conley next year, and it's not Delmas.
But they normally do get 2 new cars each a year. It's been a few years since I've been to their shop. It was rare that they sold their old used frames too.

I wonder who would be close to that number. I think CJ Rayburn could be in the thousands...
I’ve always heard he is the personable guy, better at dealing with customers.

I’d guess Rod if I was guessing. I think JT hasn’t raced since Charlie passed, could be wrong though.

I'm not really sure on late models. I would think in modifieds Harris would have to be high up there in numbers, and in sprint cars J&J and Maxim are likely way up there too (but granted there aren't as many options)

Rick Eckert is the driver getting #5000, switching to Rockets for 2018. He recorded Rockets first win at Hagerstown in 1992.

I'd put Rick Delong right up there with them. Rick started running them very first year they came out. All the way up till last year when he sold everything. And he has been a rocket dealer for just as long. I don't know If he is still a dealer or not since he stopped Fielding cars. But he may still be. Have heard a rumour or 2 that he may be getting something back together again with Matt Miller. Just some talk I got when chatting with friends I have that still race.

Rob Blair is the longest running Rocket Chassis customer.

I would say the Conley’s are the longest running Rocket Chassis Customer. But they based it on Eckert winning the first race in a Rocket Chassis and that is understandable.

Conleys went to Rockets in 1995. Swartz before that. The 1994 swing arm Swartz cars cost Swartz a lot of customers. Rocket gained many of them. We got one of those heaps real cheap, re-engineered it, and it was a great car.
