Anyone else find it funny that XXX is using Danny Lasoski as a P.R. guru? If I were the people at Eagle chassis, I would be half way miffed about this. The release COULD tend to make a person think Danny is running a XXX car. Below is the release direct from Hoseheads main sight. The same could go for the Tatnell camp and whatever brand of car they are running.....Schnee's I think.

 

Triple X Race Co)Another World of Outlaw event, another pair of top ten finishes for Triple X Race Co. Danny Lasoski and Brooke Tatnell, both running Triple X Race Co components, took home 7th and 8th respectively at Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap, TN. Join the team that keeps bring home top tens today at www.xxxraceco.com. Or give us a call at 866.632.9925. Triple X Race Co- Xacting Quality at Xceptional Prices for Xtreme Motorsports!

XXX is making a ton of componts for sprint cars much cheaper than anyone else .Many people are using wing stands,jaccobs ladders, nerfs ect due to the price savings. I heard they are going to start making wings also- if they are similar in savings as chassis are almost everyone will be using those. XXX is selling some stuff cheaper than a person like Schnee can even buy the material to make it.I dont really like the whole idea of the way xxx is doing things but its no different than going to walmart,people love CHEAP.

So as to not confuse or mislead people consuming our press releases; you'll notice we state "running Triple X Race Co components". We, in fact, go out of our way to point that out. We think this clearly distinguishes the complete line of XXX parts those teams are running, from them running XXX chassis.

Conversely, when we are referring to teams racing our chassis, we also identify it as such, as in this example; “Chappell brought his 2007 Triple X Race Co Revolution Chassis out for the first time Friday night at Houston Raceway Park, and according to Zach, he couldn't be happier.”

Wasn't it reported yesterday that the pet food containing poison came from China? Now isn't that great quality assurance? Any product inported from China that is used for extreme reasons, as racing, where safety is such a great concern, should be avoided at any cost. Some goods from foreign sources are excellent and trustworthy and in many cases we have no choice.....In this case we do. Buy American, whenever possible.

Ok all you global economy activist, bash away!

Cheroger-

Are you really trying to make the comparison that Pet Food = Sprint Car Parts ?

Triple X Race Co has posted quality control test results on their webpage. www.xxxraceco.com

Cheroger, for someone always campaigning against discrimination based on race, this is disappointing coming from you. You are just making assumptions about product quality based on the ethnicity of the manufacturers - preconceptions because of color or race. You sure you wanna do that?

I would have to say that I am glad there is a cheaper option for components. Its the racers choice on weather or not he or she chooses to purchase products from XXX race co. But at least there is a option for a cheaper way to go. Keep in mind that with the way prices are trending from vendors and manufactures, we may be wiping out the blue collar racer that helped build the sport to what it is today. Alternative options are necessary to help keep lower budget teams going. It is hard enough for a blue collar person to finance a sprint car operation as it is, but at least there are some companies out there that understand this, and are attempting to relieve some of the financial strain placed on the blue collar owners.

Why is it becoming so hard for a blue collar person to finance a sprint car team? Could it be that all the good American blue collar jobs are now over sea's?

Not commenting on polotics and jobs being overseas. We are all just trying to race and have a good time, but some of the vendors and manufactures are trying to get rich off that, and there is a need for cheaper products to get the U.S. manufactures to lower thier prices. For example, two years ago a complete front end new would cost you $1150.00. Now you can purchase a complete front end of the same quality for $700.00. This is partly do to the people who have offered overseas products for a much cheaper price. Now the U.S. manufactures can't rape the consumer the way that they were in the past. Im not against a company turning a profit, but that profit doesn't have to be 400% on one item.

I'd be willing to bet that an American maufactured sprint car would cost about 40% more than it did 5 or so years ago. The fact is, manufacturers like XXX exist because they saw an opportunity to manufacture and distribute lower cost, quality parts, cheaper; they seized an opportunity. M&M makes a point about the pricing on axles. Most local teams are paying for the free parts that the big boys run, and get for low or no cost!

If M&M can afford to race because the costs are lower, I say, good for him!

I switched to xxx chassis and parts this year for some cost savings and I could not be happier.In fact I ran the car for the first time at the Devils Bowl and the chassis felt better to me than the big name one I ran last year. We did have problems though, it was with our way over priced brand new american made mag.The company also saved money on the plug wires that came with it since only seven of the plug boots had clips in them.As an owner,driver and small business owner I need all the help I can get.Maybe when the big chassis makers put up money for bigger point funds and weekly purses I will switch back. Alot of people have laughed at my chassis choice for this year and thats fine, I will be the guinney pig, but it won't be so funny when I finnish in front of them in a chinese car.Thanks for your time, Mark Pace


All fun all the time

Two weeks ago this week I was in Hanford California watching GSC race; one car (410) hit the wall at a 15 degree angle coming out of turn 4; chassis welds broke (American chassis) while the components where XXX none of there welds broke or cracked nerf bars look like a pretzel axle looked like a candy cane and the welds hold estimated speed of the wreck 80 mph

I would say that the workers exerted their fair share of greed as well.

This started for real in the boom times of the 70's where it was ok to give the raises and pass the cost on.

It is hard to go back, but a lot of the now retired workers are causing a lot of the problems we not have.

Like it or not, we are in a world economy, and we all have to live with it, and living with it means wait till the world economy catches up with ours, or we go down to theirs.

Duane is right, we should all be happy with $.50 per hour and being limited to only one child per household.

The argument of "pricing ourselves out of a job" is weak and tired. I would be more apt to listen if we were talking about a company moving overseas to save, say 10% to 20% on their labor costs. But that isn't the case. The people in China, India and Mexico are making today, what American workers were making in the 1930's and 1940's. The bottom line in the jobs moving is exactly what Hootus6D stated. After all, all of those companies that have moved have drastically reduced their labor costs, however the CEO's are making more than they were when they were located in the USA.
