    Chassis history?

    I have a simple question. Can someone please give me the history of a Black Diamond Chassis and also the History of a Club 29?
    I was under the impression that a Club 29 was a Black Diamond with Lanigan bolt on parts. Someone has said on another site that I have it backwards.
    So please answer me which is which???

    Black Diamond with Lanigans touches on them until 2019. 2019 Club 29’s were jigged in Kentucky

      Thanks
      The person that I was in discussion with was saying that both are originally Club designs but the Black Diamon was Stucky added his parts and called in Black Diamond.

      I didnt want to continue the discussion untill I got my facts straight.
      Thanks for the help!

        As far as I know, until this past season, BDs and the Disco cars were exactly the same, the actual name just depended on who you bought it from.

            The first club 29 cars were tweaked blue front rockets. Once Stuckey began building cars for lanigan, black diamond and those club 29 cars were born at the same time

              Yep on the old Rockets, he got them as basic as possible and tweaked away. The year he went with Stuckey was the same year the XR1 debuted. They should have waited a year. Speaking of Stuckey they seemed to really tail off last year. EPJ didn't seem to be a threat at many of the Lucas shows. Maybe they'll hit on a few things this year and be back in the mix.

              Was scrolling thru pics from PRI and noticed Tony Jackson Jr's new BRWC with what appears to be a Club 29 sticker on the spoiler end plate.

                Wasn't Stuckey in poor health last year? I'd say that was the problem, if so.

                  They were running good when he was sick. All down hill from there. Epj said there coming back with a new chassis design.

                      I just heard a rumour Thursday night that Barry Wright has pretty much retired and Lanigan was taking over that deal.l had all ways figured Lance would take over when Barry slowed down.

                        Maybe at the end of the year, but he stepped away from Rocket just as the XR1 debuted. The XR1 also made an end of the year debut as Josh ran the 1st one at the DTWC or World Finals.

                            Tony Jackson Jr is in a new chassis, no way.
                            Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                              I thought the exact same thing when I saw that pic lol. He changes chassis more than he does underwear.
                              If BIG MAC ATTACK reads this thread, he can for sure set the time line and chassis fab/assembly questions straight.
