My 13yr old son will be racing 2 classes next year and I am looking at sponsoring a couple more people for next year as well. I have never sponsored anyone as far as racing goes so this will all be trial and error. So I am looking at buying 10 motors, and I am figuring 1 motor on each kart and 3 motors as spares. We will be racing locally (Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas) and maybe once a month head out east to do some racing.
So I am shopping around for a motor builder. I have contacted a couple of builders to get prices on some motors but then I heard from a few people that has made me re think going with a big name builder. Maybe I did not hear them correctly but I want your guys opinions.
I have heard a few bigger named builders get as many out the door as fast as they can and do not have very good customer service. I am looking for someone who will pay attention to detail and give me the best motor that they can put out. I just want to spend my money wisely and get some motors from a builder that takes pride in their work and will give me the most bang for my $$$ and in buying these motors, I figure that should include top notch customer service/support as well.
I am not trying to bash any builder at all, I have honestly only heard of 1 builder that I should stay away from but the rest I have really heard nothing but good things about.
As of right now we have a Jody Pierce, Total Concept Racing Engines, Box Stock Project, Dover and Todd Miller clones in the shop and to be honest, I would not hesitate to put any of our motors on to race.
If you were going to buy 10 motors outright to start off with and have the best customer support available, who would you go with?
