racer x scam (proof)

[Hooah]

Ok so talkin to a guy on here about shep trannies becuase he says he got the racer x sponsorship.....the one i was thinking of getting..he siad that they give 10-12% on shep trannies...well this is what shep had to say:

They supposedly do offer a discounted price. Compare it to a sams club type membership. Honestly it is much easier to just send the tranny to me and I will try and give you the best deal. Problem is that some of my stuff is already discounted up to 20% so I cannot give a 10% discount on the complete total.

Ahh...makes sense

If you have to pay for it, or it's not handled directly with the company then it's not sponsorship.

It's not like shep has a huge outfit where he can sponsor a bunch of racers etc and it's easy money for him.

Racer X is sponsoring themselves with your money.

But yet you get a thread a week about it and people try to defend them rather to listen to people who know. Makes a lot of sense. Im going to save this post so that it can be linked the next time someone comes on wanting to know what to do.

I say we let the 16 year olds get suckered out of their money. Some people have to learn the hard way.

I was a 16year old that got suckered out of his money and it really hurt me a lot when that happened. The guy who suckered me for fixing a hole in my transmission telling me that it may have been from a rock that got flug up took like $400 of my money. When your 16 and don't know anything about cars and have even less money and a guy does that, it really sucks.

A hole in my trans from a rock, I believed him and almost deserved to lose my money... Almost...

this is different tho, if you actually belive your 1g with a k&n can get a sponsorship, well i have bad news

The funny thing is that Racer X's shop doesnt even exist anymore, they packed up and left. Also interesting to know is that MotoRex brought up a lawsuit against them for illegally using their name in their supposed "Enter and win a skyline" sweepstakes.

Funny thing I don't understand is where all the money for advertisement came from, and why the hell did John Sheppard use their sticker on his car? Was he acctually sponsored by them or what?

Well when you are making $75 a pop off of like 20,000 people it doesn't take much. Apparently Eric, the guy who ran Racer X's shop, is still running his business out of someplace in Newark, DE.

Hi,

I have a 2 year contract with them for up to 50% off and up to $10,000. When I called to place the first order. The percentages off were still more expensive then a lot of websites offer their prices. Example: they have a 52% discount on the MSD DIS 2, but the cost still was $350. I found it for less then $300. I made them a offer to lower their cost and never hurt back from them. DO NOT SIGN A CONTRACT WITH THEM, BECAUSE THEY WILL CHARGE YOU $75 TO SET UP THE ACCOUNT WITH THEM.

Sincerely,


Sven
