Saw your post about Pan Car Oval stuff in Hobby Shops.
First off, if you open a retail Hobby Shop, you are welcome to order from us anytime.
There are a lot of reasons for some of Pan Car Oval's problems and most of the racers don't understand that is has a lot more to do with the business side of our hobby than things like rules.
For example...many Hobby Shops wonder why we don't sell through the Distributers...well we did at one time. It's not that we don't sell to them, they won't carry our product. In 1992 we were pushed out the door, and coincidentally Protoform was picked up with Pro-Line backing. There is an ugly political side to any competitive industry, and the Hobby Industry is no exception. If you get involved, you will find out along the way.
This is a private conversation with us. If you have any more questions, you are welcome to email me or call any time.
Thanks
