      If there is anyone out there who believes one chassis winning all these races is good for this sport, obviously you havent paid attention to other forms of racing. be careful what you ask for.

        Racers are doing it to themselves. There's not really anything that can be done.

          BBQ, Snake,
          You guys get to wrapped up over the Chevy/Ford thing.
          Course this is the opinion of a Mopar guy.

            Heh ha! I almost threw them in there. Who should they be? Capital? Bloomquist? And where do Pontiac and Olds fit in?

                I used to love when Epj ran the dodge…..I don’t have any loyalty to ford or Chevy,both have left me on the side of the road in my lifetime but I would probably pick a ford again if I had to choose between those 2.

                I bought a tundra in 08 and never looked back for a daily driver.

                  I had good luck with Fords than i did with GM products. One of my vehicles is a 2002 4-runner that has clocked 220,000 without skipping a beat other than the original battery going weak this year during that extreme cold spell.

                        Most Toyotas sold in America are more American than the actual American manufacturers. You can blame NAFTA for that.

                          I'm surprised no one else has gone the xXx route. Built oversea's, loaded into a container and are now at racetracks all across the country. Rocket is still building cars 2 to 1 over horns, walk any local pit on a Friday or Saturday night.

                            Well, can't really do that for this season yet, but I've been curious about this. So you are saying that you walk into any local pit and you'll see more 2 to 1 new Rockets vs new Longhorns. So these local guys are buying new Rockets? Is that correct? Or are you saying there are 2 to 1 Rockets old and new in the pits. It would make sense to me that there were tons of used Rockets at local tracks because I'd figure local guys don't buy new cars, they buy used cars.

                            I am curious what the production numbers are for all chassis brands. Anyone know roughly how many new Rockets, Longhorns and say Black Diamond and Capital cares are being built? Or say Barry Wrights? Thanks!

                              It really depends on region which chassis you’ll see the most of in the pits. Like in the south, it’s Longhorn/Capital. In the north, it’s Rocket/Kryptonite and if you go further west, it’ll be mostly MB Customs.

                                Snake beat me to it. All those Rockets in the pits at your local tracks are not new.
                                As far as chassis built, just from the numbers released by Rocket, sounds like they average 1 per day. That's not counting Saturday's, Sunday's, and holidays.
