    I would say none of them right now, A lot of people have been staying away from the Rayburn cars because you can't get any tech help. This is just my opinion but there are too many good chassis builders having success, Rayburn cars have been less than competitve for a while now. Pierce, Mastersbilt, Rocket, GRT, TNT, Barry Wright and Victory Circle have all had there share of success this year and have been for the last few years. Again just my opinion, in a Rayburn you are putting yourself behind from jumpstreet.

      If you are capable of figuring things out yourself and are not running the WoO or Lucas, I say give it a shot.

        agreed. you can really get these things for next to nothing now compared to other brands and if you have some know how can change some things and get them going. Still guys winning at the local level w/ them

            if i was going to run one i think i would have a underrail. we've run both an always had more success in a underrail car, i think this is for the simple fact that the cars are stiffer.

              The underrails seem to do a little better overall finish wise. We ran an underrail first year, and did ok with it. Have run overrails the last 3 years and done ok too. I don't know that there's any real significant difference, other than overrails are easier to change out the rear end.

                    I read an artical in the old dirtlatemodel that scott bloomquist and jim curry did and they laid out how mastersbuilt got jim to help them jig up his rayburn so they could copy it and then they screwed jim out of his 3rd of the bussiness. Bprc also jigged up his rayburn as did scott they both put that on the record in circle track. cj is in the cycle that ever chassis builder goes threw he'll get a new design going and they'll all copy it again it's been that way for many years now.

                      We are in the process of changing a Rayburn to a blue front Rocket. It don't take much we jigged a Rocket up and are welding in the 4 link brackets. As far as the front end the cross member is the same as the Rocket. That's just and idea for some of you guys with rayburns.

                          Also guys the rear ends are the same widths as a rocket and it doesn't take much to convert them. The biggest thing is getting a car to jig off of.
