Xr1...

[blncfn57]

Rocket has been a consistent winning car for the last 20 years, even in their off years they still won races and championships.
It's funny that some find issue with the price of the XR1, but don't have an issue with the guy selling his for $20,000 more each.
Just FYI, A rocket beat a longhorn, sweet-bloomquist and a Barry Wright friday night.

For Rocket to have way more cars entered in each race, defeats the naysayers. Knowledgeable racers buy them cars for reasons. Here, questionable intelligence bad mouths them. They put their money where their mouth is. They buy them for a reason. If you figure that reason out, it will end the argument. There are reasons why they buy or don't buy other chassis and they are all capable of winning.

Name 8 national tour winners of the 116Rockets sold in the last 2 years? Name 5 drivers in Rockets who have won the dream or world in the last 5 years? I don’t know the stats but I would love to know

Dirt racers buy the chassis of the month with zero knowledge applied to the transaction.

Please name what driver who has 1 car and a 25' trailer that's a better wheelman than Josh or Shepp. According to the Rocket website they've won 41 races in 2018.

Hence my point. They charge around $60k for a roller then compete against you for your same purse money. Racers make no sense. Why would you shell out that much money for a car to race against them on the track? You say they won 41 races. At just an avg of $10k a race thats $410,000 they are taking away from the racers they sell cars to. I think it would be bad for business for the house cars to win that much.

The race wins they post are across all late model divisions including crates, steel blocks, etc. and many have limited purses. I figure the race winnings are far less than $410k. Many are local tracks where the $$$$ is more like $1k to $2k to win and the car was passed down from a big budget team. Rocket posts the winners to give a little recognition to many of the smaller teams running their product.

Add up all the money both #1 Rocket cars won last year I am sure its much more than the $410,000....duh

[chupp n bloomer fan]

I thought a roller was in the $42k range for both Rocket and Longhorn?

[Mindwalker]

So is the xr1 rocket overrated or not? 😏

We understand, more money than brains, and they would be in a deep hole, if it wasn't for the fact, that any kind of chassis can win. Any kind can lose. There are still reasons smart racers pick a chassis or engine.

If anyone is arguing, you have to have chassis A or B to win, hasn't been paying attention. Of course some need chassis A, because their buddy does and he gives pointers and they have no clue. They all come to the track on even ground. Some of that chassis will run upfront. Some will run in the back. Some should have spent their money on education.

And you inferred that those 41 wins paid $10,000 this year. Now you're saying the $41k was last. At least stick to the same subject. Fans gonna watch, haters gonna hate

[Barbecueboy]

Anybody have totals on numbers of chassis built by each company?

Since each companies first one.........curious if those numbers are even available.

And no, the xr1 is not overrated IMO.

I believe last year Rick Eckert got # 5000. Rocket that is.

[BTExpress]

Rocket chassis number 5000 was built over the off season and Rick Eckert has that one.
