Just seen on racingjunk that steve has his 2016 rocket for sale....anybody know whats up or he just getting rid of it since its a blackfront.....being a 2016 youd think he would have one of those new XR1instead of a blackfront

[GRT24]

I seen that as well And thought the same thing.

[zyoung25]

He has a xr1, it was ran in Florida, it has a blue frame. I believe he has both.

[Kromulous]

Probably getting a Longhorn, seems like the thing to do...

Wow i thought he was in a Club29 car??Or was that 3 cars ago??

Steve Casebolt has an XR1 car at this point. He is probably taking delivery of another XR1 car (as mentioned in a recent DoD article from right before Speedweeks I believe) and has no need for the Black front car going forward.

Thanks,
Jeff.

Switched to Rocket about halfway through last year.

I Talked to a guy that works at Rocket he said Casebolt has another XR1 coming. The guy also said they have a lot of cars to build.

LOL, just stirring the pot. XR1 looks like a fine ride, the ones i seen run good.

Side note thou, that XR1 is pricey... why are the so exspensive? i heard 15k for frame and deck / interior.

Docol tubing and that is what the market will bear.

Thanx Josh, I missed that switch back to Rockets. Must B nice too switch cars like underwear haha

I guess some people have a nice market.

Still seem pricey to me. You still need a rack, front suspension, and rear end, bars, lift bar etc. Shocks, springs, wheels tires, seat etc. All said as done maybe 40k roller?

I guess thats not bad, i heard a Longhorn is 55k full roller.

Add another 40 to 45k for motor and Trans, pumps etc. Hopefully people begin to see where DLM racing is going...

Yup, it isn't pretty.

At some point a line will be crossed and a bunch of people will get out and the prices will either need to come down or the sport of LM racing will die. I can't imagine too many more price increases can be absorbed - a lot of these drivers are winning a lot of money each year and still losing a ton.

Thanks,

Switching chassis seems almost the norm in late model racing. Sprint car guys seem to be loyal to their chassis manufacturers for some reason. They may switch shocks, engine builders and almost everything else, but they stay loyal with their chassis. A lot of sprint car drivers stay with their same manufacturer their whole careers.......don't get it with late model guys switching so often......it seems only a few get any faster after switching to boot?
