I thought I would start this thread by saying:
"There are far more good experiences in the world of Quarter Scale Racing than bad."
Please feel free to help promote the sport by sharing some of your's with us. Here is how I got started:
WCM: http://www.wcm-corp.com/
When I finally decided to get into Quarter Scale racing, I looked at several cars, went to a few races and the track I was going to do most of my racing. I asked questions and decided on a WCM. I didn’t want a used one so I called Rick from Winners Circle Manufacturing inc. (That what WCM stands for). Rick was up front, honest and very helpful, but said it would be a while before I could get me car. The reason was he was moving his shop from one location to another and needed time to get set up. If I called him and wanted to know how things were going or E-mailed him, he always got back with me.
I waited almost 5 months and received a great car. Rick set the car up for the track I was going to do most of my racing. Later when WCM came out with aluminum shock bodies, I was one of the first to get a set. Every time I need a part or some information from Rick, he is very helpful. Quite honestly, This is not the normal turn around to get a car or parts from WCM or the other manufactures. I just had bad timming. It takes a lot of work. It isn't like they have an assembly line churning these things out.
I have ordered many parts from WCM and got them withing a week to week and half. Thanks Rick.
Pro-1: http://www.pro1z.com/
Ordered a few hundred dollars worth of parts through the internet, got them within week. Good company to deal with, I always hear good thing about Jim. I think I may be getting a Pro-1 for my next car. It may be a few years, but i like what i see.

Again, ordered several hundred dollars worth of parts and they got here within a week. Here I was a bit surprised because I thought that the order was canceled. My Pay Pal account was debited the amount and then I noticed my account had been credited the same amount a day before the parts were delivered. I called Scott and discussed the issue, and he assured me they would be delivered the next day. They were. The only thing was he didn’t want to charge me for one part that was on back order ($20) and that was why my account was credited. It wasn’t until the day after I had all my parts that the money was released.
Bishop Tires: http://www.bishopracingproducts.com/
What can I say, without this company we would not have a sport/hobby like this in the world. I order my tires and I get them with a few weeks. Exactly the sizes I ask for.
To all of these companies and several more I have dealt with, I say THANK YOU!!!
I realize how much work goes into this, and wonder how you all find time to run yourselves. Keep up the good work!!!
