Bobby Whitling's SLIDER CHASSIS

[animalgfx]

Slider Chassis, SS chassis, Pro 1... All of them are awesome and getting it done!!

You don't need a store bought car if you know what to do with one. There's a lot of good cars for sell. You just have to make sure that it's safe and how to set it up.

What's the cost of a brand new bare chassis from each one anybody kno.

[blue by you]

is tom snyder still building the faster chassis.

[greaseball]

How about Rebel chassis I know Smeal has one.

[animalgfx]

Rebel cars have always been well built and fast in our area.... I'm not sure if Ken is building anything anymore..

 

Jimmy Walker owns Fastway Chassis.. I know he has done some work to Smeal's car this year...

That's insane for what...$300 to win.

Great looking car but for that kind of money he should running their sportsman division...imo

Complete rolling chassis from any builder is in the $12,000 to $18,000 range I would imagine.

And we wonder why costs are out of hand in the 'lower' divisions.. A quick look at racingjunk.com turns up several 2013 Rocket compete rollers (rear end, tranny, rack,etc) for 16-20K.

From experience if your buying any type of chassis be sure the builder is willing to answer questions and give suggestions. I have had a bad experience with one I bought and got no info knowing others were getting tons of set up info.

Some comments were made a few years ago about why younger drivers were bypassing the Street Stock/Sportsman classes and going right into the Crate Late Models. Most comments were about how the younger guys were moving along to quickly, and how that was hurting the Street Stock/Sportsman class. But after seeing what a "new" Sportsman chassis costs, it seems like the answer is obvious. You can built a Crate Late for a bit more money, but run for more money, and with learning on a Super Late chassis, the jump to the Super Lates is easier. The big plus is also, with the Street Stock/ Sportsman class is almost every track has a different set of rules, while in the Crate Lates the rules pretty much the same, so you can race from Elkins WV to Canada without changing your car much.

thats very true.

Only lazy people would pay that much for a car. That's the problem with the whole thing, people lost track of what racing is. You build a car and see if you have what it takes to beat the other racers. IF YOU HAVE TO BUY A WIN YOU HAVE NO HEART.
