If I was stinkin' rich, I'd buy stuff like this and open my own museum. https://rrw.sprocketlist.com/Late-Mo...8&np_offset=43

Been awhile since I have followed ads and bought race cars. Is it common these days for sellers to call a car that comes with no engine and no seat "race ready"?

From the add itself:

"Reason for Selling: building all new cars for 2021

New Body: will put one on for reasonable price at buyer request.

Car was clipped in Feb after Vado win due to continuous bottoming out. Fought droop limiter rule early part of the year. Almost won first night out with new clip with WoO at Smoky Mountain until oil pump broke leading at half way. Several great runs including Eldora, Davenport, Jackson and I-80."

^^^ I found that interesting...

[84wedge]

Was the droop rule in place at Vado? Correct me if I'm wrong, but would limiting droop partly prevent the front from bottoming out?

yeah, that's a little odd.

[Highside Hustler25]

All seats are custom fit now so that's not that unusual.

Droop rule came in after Vado.

Same car NEW. $70,000 are they nutz ? Clipped because it kept bottoming out, poor design work, so did they have to clip the other cars built to those specs also ? Can't say I'd be willing to tell people that.

At least they're honest. I like looking on racingjunk seeing whats there. Saw that one awhile back. Cool to look at but don't see myself buying one of those.

I'm in Canada where people ask for $18,000 for a 2012 Orange front crate. I like seeing all the great deals and daydream about smuggling them up here.

70k for a Bloomer car is absurd. It’s no wonder that they don’t sell any cars.

Bloomers cars have had a rough time with the droop rule. They have worked on fixing that... Common knowledge.

Remember these are asking prices. If you have the means to go big time racing and have a good chassis man available one of these cars may be the answer....just not sure what the question is!

Whats an XR1 with no motor or seat gonna cost?

[billetbirdcage]

His price on cars has been the same for at least 10 years now, cause back in 2011 a used car (gone thru by bloomer) was 38K and a new one was 68K. Most cars have went up 5 to 10K for a roller over that time. Then you also had Scott's rule you have to buy 2, but could be a used one and new one or a combo of whatever

[dirtcrazy4u]

Scott's rule !!! I like that, 70K is still absurd. I think a new xr-1 roller is like 40K
