Now naturally if three other people need clips the logistics may change a little but that's how it typically goes. Also alot of rocket dealers do frame repairs and offer similar turn around
    wow ,you have some pull if you can get them to do that considering how big of an operation they are , but you may be right......

      My question is and always will be if you are getting such great support from "Rocket" then why is B Shep and Josh always up front? I will stand behind my beliefs they are getting something different in their chassis then you or I if we were to order one. To me it doesn't make sense to purchase a car from someone who has a car you are competing against if you are racing for 2nd place.

        BINGO! BINGO! BINGO!

        Just like CJ said, if you go to a brothel and Jane is $25, Lisa is $50 and Heather is $100 who are gonna choose?

          Depends on what they look like !!! I’m not paying $25 for Jane and have to put a bag over her head or mine

            Maybe because they're 2 of the best drivers in the sport. You probably believe in unicorns and fairy dust too.

              I didn't know Josh was always up front? And, of course, knowledge goes from top down. You can't buy the blue #1 car after it completed a post- win tech inspection. It isn't for sale.

                Do you have first hand knowledge of this or how much was offered. Pure conjecture on your part.

                  Its not pure conjecture, for a number of reasons.

                    Go search you tube. Mark gives a tour of rocket and they have 5 or 6 team blue cars sitting there for BS to drive. Are they different ? I'm sure they are. Being who they are, rocket, it's what they have to do. If C. J. would have been acceptable to change, we won't be talking about how many cars rocket sells. As for him selling a car after it goes through tech, why should he ? There in business to be the best, they have to try new things.

                      UFOs and unicorns

                      Why does there have to be some vast conspiracy as to why the 1 runs well? They’ve been together for a long time, Mark demands perfection, they are well funded. That’s what ya need to be up front.

                      And Josh, he has been struggling. Consistent, but not winning. Nothing special. Until the last couple races.

                      As for CJ. Sour grapes. Dude was at the top of the mountain. He didn’t wanna change, so he got left behind. Rocket until the XR1 had a couple not so great years. But Steve and Mark did what they had to to right the ship.

                      As far as hookers. If Bobbie Sue is $25 and looks like WV trailer trash, I’ll pass. If Sara is $50 and is so so, we’ll see. If Briana is $400 and is a freakin 10+, I’m taking her.

                      Stay up on the technology, stay up on customer service, listen to your customers, and always be looking for the upper hand.

                      FYI, Colton Burdette has one of BShepps cars. And I bet you offered them $100k, you could take it home from the track as is. Don’t mean for one dam second you’ll be any good.
                      Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

                        Burdette doesn't have anything any other Rocket customer doesn't have. When you are racing at the highest level and dominating, you always have an edge. You don't sell that edge. It would be stupidity. Even I have had cars you couldn't buy for 4x its replacement value. Now let me take it home for an hour, I'll sell it at market value.

                                No more pull than any other customer. This is why they are what they are. They are racers and understand what it takes to run a good chassis company. Their are two jigs one for production and one for repairs. Unless theirs extenuating circumstances. If you tear up a car they won't be the reason you don't make next weeks race.
