      I know some who would disagree. Including a guy with a cast.

            Wreck has nothing to do with it. That was not the XR1 he wrecked. There are plenty of guys not 100% satisfied.

              Whose been running good in one other than the house car? Who has made the switch and started winning more races than before?

                Chamberlin has one I think, looks good, but not like it's night and day. He was fast with older car too.

                If I had the choice, Swartz for me, especially around here.

                Just say no...

                  That's exactly what I'm asking Austin. I don't really count what the house car does he will run good no matter which frontend he has. Everyone wants the latest and greatest but will some start going back to the blue/ grey after a year or so?

                    I think this time next year we are all gonna say "boy I wished I had one of the new MasterSbilt cars." Given the way Gilpin is running. I know what my next purchase is gonna be. I don't know anyone who has a new xr1 in my area. It's Jackie boggs swartz nation here. I wish someone would knock em off but it won't happen. If you have the money then boggs has the info to give that most others won't. Sometimes it's cheaper to join the bandwagon than waste money on trial and error and educated guesses.

                          He had one on racingjunk for sale said it only had a few races not sure how many they had but I'm assuming that's what he was referring to....I would hope at least

                              The car Eddie wrecked was not an XR1 car. Those are grovers' cars that they are selling.

                              As far as the XR1 vs. the blue grey cars they are nothing a like (literally everything is different on them).

                              Here is my take on the XR1 cars: The cars are built more rigidly than ever before, they have more adjustment than we have ever had in a car. For me as a weekend hack I probably need fewer things to get out of whack. Also, the information doesnt seem to flow downstream very quickly.
