Opinions on older DLM cars...?

[MasterSbilt_Racer]

Well, I took your advice guys and drove 15+ hours to Iowa to buy an older 2000 Swartz car. It was not as new or as nice as he said, but it was ok for the price I got it for...? Then, before I could even get home with it I had race buddies who know about Swartz cars hounding me to buy it from me. When I got home they were standing at my door with cash in hand plus all my travel costs money, so to help bolster our new venture I sold it to them, and turned around and bought an '09 MastersBilt by Mars turn key sellout from Denver CO. I will keep collecting leads to help other local guys get into DLMs for our venture, and have been passing on all you guy's advice to others here looking. Again I thank each and every one of you for all your advice and recommendations... Jim

Those Swartz cars were some wheelie pulling SOBs! I think a guy could really do something with one and the new information that is out there.

Yes they were.. They were a very throttle tight car and I agree with the latest technology and shock packages I think somebody could make one hell of a car

I bought a 1998 Rocket two years ago, car was an ex Rocket house car driven by Tim Hitt. The car was straight and hadn't been raced for a few years so I'm sure that helped the life of it. It had never been updated so I welded in the safety bars on the cage and put the shortened right front shock mount on it. I've stayed relatively competitive with it winning 3 features with it so far. It makes more traction than any other car I've drove. So moral of the story, Newer isn't always better.
