Casebolt joins Beeman/Masters

[chupp n bloomer fan]

Can you blame him? If he lost that ride then he made the right choice on Chassis, everyone pretty much has been fast in them. Not a rocket fan but give credit where credit is due.

Nope. Not at all. More power to him. Don't really care for him, but I'd do exactly as he is doing if I was in his shoes.

"The car and hauler belong to Pancho Lawler, and the motors are coming from his old car owner Martin.."

Is this deal just for Speedweeks or for the rest of the season?

[Josh Bayko]

Just saw a tweat from Kyle Hardy.....after being a Mastersbuilt----MBH loyalist for his entire career, he is preparing a new family owned Rocket XR1 for the Appalachian Speedweeks.

Can't really blame him. Mostly everybody who gets in an XR1 has a marked improvement in results as soon as they get in one.

Seems like they make everybody mad at some point. But give them a year or two and they'll come out with something and put everybody's stuff to shame like they always do, it'll run for about 3 years and dwindle away then everybody will leave em for the next flavor of the week, rumors will go around about them going out of business etc etc etc and then here they come again. It does bother me however that mbh stopped supporting them. I know at the end of last year Billy tried a wylie chassis and I guess that deal is over considering the car is for sale for next to nothing and per DoD he's selling black diamond cars. I really think if they would answer the phone and be somewhat friendly when they do answer they might pick up some business. I'm in scottsburg on business right now and dropped by there yesterday at 4:15 and the doors were locked and tader was cutting his grass and his business hours say 8-5. They did have a couple new cars in assembly though.

that team is pretty much a joke. very good equipment but for some reason nobody stays in it very long. don't expect it to be any different for Casebolt.

The way I read it, it was for speedweeks and some regional specials..

Looks that way to me, too. There's a ton of specials in the area in the next month or so.

They could if they wanted to. There cars need an update cycle.

That's already in the works. Their new car is unrecognizable compared to smack or genX

Were those Leggett engines?

from what I hear its a longhorn copy. and but a few other things as well.

but, that is just hear say. from a pretty good source

Longhorn copy is the construction of the day. I have heard stuff to make me think the same, but didnt know anything new was built.

[Matt49]

I wouldn't necessarily call it a "copy" of a Longhorn. A lot of things that Longhorn did are being done by other builders. Masters won't be an exception but there are some interesting new "features" and I would actually say some of this is pretty innovative. As kind of a loyal MasterSbilt customer, I'm excited about it.

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Hmm. You got my attention.

So is Beeman's current car still the old design?

99% sure all of his cars are GenX based (MBH, extra, LXT, whatever). They haven't really gotten to test the new stuff yet and despite what some people believe, Beeman is not the "house" car.
