Some of you might know my friend Eric Zellner he raced mostly at Paragon. Eric's diabetes forced him out of racing a few years ago. Eric called me today and stated his car had been stolen from a garage where it was stored. The car is described as: Powdered coated yellow was a DRC Chassis 87/40 was a old Clayton chassis. Had 30 inch torsion bars on the left was set up for 29 inch torsion on the right but had 30 with aluminum spacers on them. The chasis in front of the radiator was welded, had a aluminum 410 Kriner Engine, Kirkley seat my friend was quite skinny so seat would reflect that. Eric's lost alot already if anyone would see anyone trying to sell a car that matches this or has any information feel free to give me a call

I'm having a little trouble finding "DRC Sprint Car" in the Kelley Blue Book. What is the current trade-in value?:2:

He did I guess as stated above it was his Ex Wife!

Regardless Ex Wife or Stolen this is a Bad deal either way I hope he can get it back!

On another note Maybe he can have a Pancreas transplant like my Friend Brad Marvel had and now Diabetic free after countless years of living that way!

I did find out this morning that the car was not stolen, as stated above. I guess the car was left at a ex-girlfriends house and she indeed did trade it in on another car. And yes as I have found out this is a HUGE mess. Nick and Myself are good friends with Eric and, I guess a few details may have been left out when this was posted.

Like Big D said it appears a disrguntled ex traded the car in, not sure how that read on a car fax. For those who called about the cars where abouts thanks. Like Nickki Sixx from Motley Crue says chicks=trouble.
