The refusal was a one time thing, based on the demands, garauntees expected, and aplication.

I have always refused to sell 760's in kit form[customer assembled] due to the good deal of custom machining and unique parts. Scooby expressed that he was not confident in my ability. Since I don't allow anyone else to put them together, I wasn't going to make an exception for him.

I have sold him parts in the past. The problem came when he wanted to buy the go fast parts for a 760, and not the reliability parts, and then put it together himself. The owner of Team Pami and I made the call to protect their reputation by not letting a customer build such a "hand grenade" with Team Pami's name on the side of it.

Well I see. He wanted to assemble them his self and still wanted the hp gains? Did not want to upgrade the oil pressure and crank? Over 100RWHP Scooby would have been awesone for a 4 stroke.

Thats rediculous. Modifying crap to the extent of it ready to blow. Who cares who is faster? Always that competitive edge no matter what ya do! Sucks.

<< Atoka? Where is it? What type of races? Is there a website with info? >>



Atoka is in Southeastern part Of Oklahoma, right up Hwy 69 I believe.
Shouldn't be more than 3 hours from Plano.

Can't answer about the races yet, haven't been there to check it out.
