It was fun.  We didn't know we were living in the "good old days" just a few short years ago...higher speed limits, cheap gas, etc.

Many people just want the cheapest price first...Look at these junk intakes from China people buy. I really don't like Comp Cams guess its always custom cams...I got my last cam made by Mike Jones in NC...but even those guys used to deal with Crane for their cores.

Sometimes I am glad my life is more than half over.

This past weekend Summit in Ohio was having a large scratch & dent sale with a lot of Crane cams on shelves as part of that sale - I saw 1 guy with 3 bumpsticks in his basket!

Those part warehouses are going to take a hit on this. No more returns for credit on damage parts, they -Jegs, Summit, etc-will have to try to sell it in their stores for whatever they can get.

So many people have been hurt by these bankruptcy's--the reach is far and beyond the workers just at the companies decelerating bankruptcy.

One thing is hate thou is how places like Holley can go "bankrupted" cheat others on money they owe but yet keep their name and can sell its products like nothing happen. Bankruptcy is like a loophole for a company to get out paying its bills...what is the drawback from filing if they can still used the old name on their products?
