Hope you had fun! I'll text you once the pix and V20 pix are up! (^_^)

Thank you so much for making the drive down! It was great to get to meet you. I'm sorry I was so out of it, lack of sleep all week caught up with me at the meet.

Next time I am not doing any work starting the week before so I can make sure and be rested.

Angry Racing Brake Duped us

Thanks Racing Brake for shunning us after Marcus put you on the main flyer and linked your website several times throughout the thread… he even tried to contact you at the bogus email… real class act there.

I would have expected so much more from such a big company. Amazing that the little guys like Motordyne, Church Automotive Testing, RareJDM, Hikatta Dori, etc all have so much less but gave so much more! I guess that’s why I’ve done business with them all – they do things right and care about the customer and G community.

I can’t wait for my STOPTECH or CZP 2-piece rotors for my Akebono’s… I couldn’t convince myself to support or buy from a vendor that duped us.

I'll echo what Mike said. Spoke with Racing brake via PM and email, they stated they would support us, they even approached me, I didn't make initial contact. They were a no show at the meet. I followed up with an email to find out what happened, and got a non-deliverable message. Very disappointing.

That's sad...

So many possible customers at the meet too. I have ran their products in the past and would have been able to talk to people on their behalf. After this I have no desire to ever speak about them or their products again.

Unfortunately Clint was the one that committed to the meet and he actually just left Racing Brake last week (two days before the meet) with no notice and they didn't have a chance to get through all of the projects he had going on, so unfortunately they missed the meet. I plan to go in there this week and discuss it with them and hopefully get them on board for the next big meet.

Great meet, btw, guys! Very well organized and a lot of fun!! Sorry I had to bail early.

Oh yeah, and I love the lugnuts I won in the raffle... Thanks again!!!

Damn! That takes serious dedication to drive that far.

Congratulations on winning the Motordyne 5/16" Iso Thermal.

Let me know if you have any questions during your installation.

Ah at least now I understand why.

Maybe they should throw in something for a late raffle and Mike can draw one last winner from the list.
