Hi Guys: Let me tell you a story about Speedway motors. I just finished
my bucket last weekend and I drove it for the first time. I took a short
jaunt to set the speedo and came back and got the wife. We took a short ride down to the weigh station. Can you say COOL!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway I
turned around and headed home and gave a little goose job and the rear
hairpins folded up and tried to shove the pinion through the floor. Now I bought top of the line stainless pins front and rear for the car. $500.00.
I called Speedway on monday a talked to (Brian) and he informed me that
they don't recommend 27" rods for the rear of cars as nobody use them
in the back. I informed him that BC had been doing that this way for 10
years and that if the quality of the steel was good this would not happen.
He told me he would call me back in a conference call with BC and he would show us how we built the car wrong. Its thurday and I still haven't
heard a word nor has BC as I talked to Josh yesterday. I would strongly
suggest that no-one on this forum or any other deal with this company any longer and if so inclined, call and thell them we don't deal with people
that don't stand behind their products. My father in law works at a truck
shop where they build transfers and I took the hairpins out to the shop
and we put them in a vice and bent them back by hand. Now that's what
I call quality...........Also I had purchased a winshield kit from TP before
they were bought by Speedway and when I went to finish the windshield
the chrome was peeling and I called two weeks ago and was told they
won't warranty and products from TP unless you bought the parts when
they owned the company. So now I have been screwed for 750.00 from
these supposed hot rod people in Nebraska. Please dont deal with them
and if so inclined call and give them your opinion....Tks Herman Oregon
