Sad VERY sad!:( Our Hobby is threatened enough, it's very sad to see this kind of thing where a meeting of the minds just can't seem to find a reasonable solution to the issues brought to the table. Hope it can somehow be resolved. We all pretty much would agree it's our love for the hobby, that we do the things we do with our Cars, even if it's a business we have, obviously that business may be our livelihood, but more times than not, we had to first have a love for something before we become business owners. I feel for both parties involved, it's not easy having a business right now in the Car Enthusiast field, with the economy crashing around us, as well not an easy time for Hobbyist either. OK off my soapbox it pains me to see stories such as this withing our Family circle here. I wish all involved well, and for the continued positives this great hobby brings to our lives, hope things can be worked out.

Good luck all!

Actually I had thought this had been resolved until I read Bill's new post. Scott who is our sales manager is originally from the same area as Bill and they know some of the same people up there. Bill apparently went into a shop up there badmouthing Scott personally to a friend of Scott's as well as BG yet Scott was not even aware of or involved with Bill's pump being here. Scott recv a phone call with these details to which he called Bill personally and Bill stated that if we would quit posting about him and chasing him around the internet that he would quit posting about us as well. He was also given the opportunity at that time to have the pump shipment turned around and brought back to us where we would remove the new parts and return it to Bill in the same shape it was sent in to which Bill declined. The pump had already left prior to Bill starting all these threads so his accusations that we would sabotage his pump are totally unfounded and without any merit. The ball is back in Bill's court and we will abide by his original agreement with Scott if he will but we will not let him continue to bash us without stepping up to defend ourselves in the matter.

Adam.......This is another example you you getting the story all confused....or just twisting it to tell lies. I did talk to Scott. I do know the same people that Scott knows. I told one of our mutual friends that Scott has worked for two POS companies....Speed Unlimited and Barry Grant. I did say Barry Grant as a company sucks. I TOLD SCOTT DIRECTLY that I never said anything about Scott personally, just the company. Why would I say anything personal about Scott.....He had NOTHING to do with it. Scott believed me and we moved on. I can't help it that our mutual friend listened my my ranting and thought it was funny and called Scott to tell him that I was fired up.

I was done with all this......right up until you posted the same LIE about $25 to fix a pump again!!!!! You can choose to twist this however you want. I won't deal with Barry Grant for ANYTHING EVER AGAIN. I hope everyone else uses caution when dealing with Barry Grant. You have come on here and other forums to "straighten out issues" and that is admirable. Personally I think you are trying to put a band-aid on a hemorrage. You have seen the replies on other "racer" boards and I'm not the only one with issues. This board is more or less a mix of street/show and bracket racers. The marketshare that Barry Grant has in fuel pumps has dropped DRASTICALLY. That is why you guys cleared house. Good luck maintaining the balance of customers you have.

Have a nice day.
