We've gotten off subject here so this is the last post I'll make on this. i saw rilat's team taking apart their car right before i walked over to the car that was in pieces, which i am telling you was Sweets car! they were one of the first teams to leave and are one of the only teams that wrecked that would have been capable of dismantling the car that fast right after the races with all the guys and equipment they got. i am not mistaken on this one, maybe it was just an anomaly but it was very scary to see. It's also a lot worse then i thought if the car is actually being built in China, are you kidding me? WOW, so this is what it has come to, gotta love free-market capitalism! I wish someone from the team itself or Brad Sweet would get on here and clear things up. Oh well, believe what you want, i guess only time will tell if a car built by some Asian in a sweat shop in China who I guarantee you has no clue as to what he (or she for that matter) is building will stand up to the rigors of sprint car racing. Just remember one thing, ask yourself this, why is it a $1000 cheaper than anything else?

PS, no i don't work for any manufacturer or am impartial to any, we run a 2001 Schuler chassis in our SC car, i also have been aroud racing for 30 years and know a future problem when i see one...
