                  There are tons of good chassis builders out there. However, if you can't get input on setups, assistance with repairs, you can have the best chassis and you won't be able to get it hooked up. We struggled for years with the wrong chassis builders - wrong in the sense that we did not get a lot of assistance and they were simply too far away to develop a good working relationship. We eventually started working with Erwin Racing Supply (Oilville, VA) and the results have been fantastic. But it starts with a dialog between team and chassis builder. I'm sure there are some teams/drivers that can take a well built chassis and figure out all of the chassis dynamics/setups and run well without builder help. But for us, and many teams, we simply don't have the time, resources, or experience to be fast right out of the box. So my advice to you would be look around at successful chassis builders in your area, talk to the owners directly, and then make your decision. Just because a brand is running up front doesn't mean it's the right one for you. Good Luck! Craig "Big Daddy" Ramich, 5+ Shaw by Erwin

                        I think Big Daddy Ramich said it pretty well. The chassis is of little help to going fast. The technical help is. I've seen 10 and 12 year old stuff from nearly all builders contend in the right hands. Without the right people with knowledge behind you it matters not what you buy.

                            They all have there good points and bad. I agree with the knowledge statement. You have to know when and where to do what. It seems like a lot of people are so dependent on info from there chassis builders, some of which have never been to the track you are racing at. It is important to have a good understanding of what is actually going on with your car, or it can get expensive really fast. I always suggest going with someone that is close to you. It also makes getting it repaired easier.
