      You will get 27 different answers. I like Swartz, feel they are a great car, well built, honest, safe, call Kyle breck he is a dealer in this area that can prep one for you, or call Audie direct 740-820-2341. I like the way he builds a car, they are strong and well built. Also not the same as every other car, so can afford you to have an edge. I prefer to have a car in the minority, one or two in the field, not 50% of the field.


      Many like rockets, or shaw, or get or.... Just don't get a Rayburn, in this area you will have a tough go to make much success with one.

      One trend is to get a stuckeys or wolf pack, pay more for a better prepped car. That may be your best option, costly but good. Victory circle is becoming popular in this area with stovall and looney, seem very good so may be another option.

        A friend of mine bought a Swartz a few yrs back. I will admit, it is a very nice car and have a few differences in them than most cars. But, here in the South, they aren't popular and that car never really did well. But, I heard that they are really good up in the Ohio area. See what's winning around in your area...but to be honest, in my opinion, it doesn't matter how new, nice or what that car is; it's all about tires, shocks, and a driver that knows what's going on. If you get a car with these 3 things right on it, you're good to go. JMO Good luck with your new car and hope it brings you success!

          chassis

          Right now i run a grt, run more with MLRA but looking to start running alot of the lucas stuff next year and learning how to run bigger stuff so thats why im looking for a car that is all around good instead of just here in the midwest, i had swartz cars in the past and not going to say nothing bad about them but dont feel thats the car for what im going to do.

                  If you have limited resources and are going to be going to a lot of unfamiliar tracks running a series next season I would recommend getting setup with a chassis manufacturer that has a strong presence in the series you are anticipating running. This way you can get more technical support at some of these new and different tracks. It also gives you the opportunity to have parts available at the track.

                  With that said we really like our rocket stuff and have never had any trouble getting information from the guys in Shinnston or from Tim Logan Racing. I realize rocket's stock isn't quite what it has been in the past; but, I think they still build an excellent mouse trap that works at a wide variety of tracks. I am also a big fan of the Barry Wright race cars; but, they are geographically challenged to me and up until the last two years have not had a presence at all in my area.

                    in the real world i have to agree w ec... rocket would be what i would choose based on the fact that there is so much info about them. peace of mind that its not the car is pretty important to me. if you go by what they suggest and your a decent driver your a top ten car out of the box i dont think it matters if its black blue/grey orange just follow there guidelines and should be ok.

                        I would look at a new Mastersbilt or a BWRC think both can go out and be very fast right out the box... Then its up to you to take it to the next level
