        Any guess as to how many miles are on his hauler?

        I'm not a trucker, but when I heard I was blown away. But with as much racing as he does, I could see it at the same time.

            Help? Well i guess you have to kinda know whats going on yourself. Couldnt i just pm you or ask a question in the tech section?

            A good shock guy like keith berner or paul wilmoth can help as well. Those guys have helped me a ton over the years. Its all in who you surround yourself with. Ive never really relied on a chassis mfr to win. That being said ive never won a slm race, ive ran up front a bunch but never broke through. Ive won a bunch of steel block lm races but supers will bring you back to earth

            Bloomquist will sell parts but PPM will make them as well. And at a better price.

              That hauler will never get another bath ever again. 3 things you'll never see from Erb Jr. Fast time award, a big lasting smile, and a squeaky clean hauler.

                    Correct. I have rarely even talked to builders myself. Just pointing out the limitations of buying a low production piece that probably has little to no support at present.

                                I was told (yes, a "rumor").....3 Million! I was also told at the same time that he was buying the Rocket rig, and that was back at the World, so I believe it.

                                I'm thinking the factory warranty has expired.
