I have not posted on here much lately and I want you all to know that while I really enjoy my new job and Love Texas I miss riding with all of you. I am so happy to see this site continuing to grow and constantly improve. DVS1 has been great at keeping this going and making it better than ever.
While all of you taking part are what makes this site grow I want to remind you that the guys that put ads on here are paying the bills. I spoke with one of the guys a couple weeks ago that advertise on here and asked him if got much business from the site. He told me he got some but that a lot of the guys in his area would order from places in Ca. if they could get parts cheaper. I completely understand that it is very important to save money. But I just want to remind all of you that we need these guys to stay in business. I don't think that most of them are getting rich off of it. They are doing it because they love buggies. I know that I would not have ever been able to have as much fun as I did if it weren't for places like Shadetree Performance or Drews and Eric Debord helping me out.
Like I said I understand the need to save money but please don't forget that we need these folks to stay in business to not only help cover the cost of this site but just to be there when you need advice or a part today.
Just as an example I drove 10 hrs to ride in Tenn. a few years ago and about 2 hrs in I blew a spark plug out of the head. We loaded my buggy up and took it to the Speed Shop in Harriman Tenn. He stopped what he was doing and helicoiled my head and put a new plug in it. And he charged me $8. Please if you live near there give him all the business you can.

Thanks
Dean Marks

I have to agree 110% with this.
Is CP1 gonna bring a rotor or a stub axle to you out on the trail, then help you fix it while you drink one of his cold refreshments?
How about if that part you ordered out of HVWs magazine is wrong? Is it worth the $10 you saved when you gotta pay return shipping.
I usually cant save a dime by buying from those guys anyways by the time I pay shipping.
Most of those guys out west dont have a clue about what we do or how we need our buggies to perform.

Support your local shops , PLEASE!

I am with you . I have spent a lot of $ over the years local & mail order on woodsbuggys race buggy hot rods & I have to say that I by local 99% of the time . With shops like Drews & other sponsors i can get tec info & see the parts & machine work first hand!

I too i have been buying parts from davis racing and have been happy with my experience. I,m sure i could get similar experiences from the other advertisers on this site also from all i have read. I hope everybody on here buys from these guys. I plan on buying some of instagators adapters before the spring.
