Dude, they went out of business back in the spring. You probably won't get anything. I have ordered a fuel pump and some other stuff from them, dealt directly with Paul. I got what I ordered within 3 days and I paypal'd my money. Paul left to work with ESM and run his own Blue Tongue Motorsports. Tom Blanchard who was Pauls business partner, was I guess attempting to run the business after Paul left. I never ordered anything from them after that.
I have met Tom and Paul in spring of '01 at the SC vs. GTP vs. SS racing at Gateway. They were there with Wade and Alicia Embree from Embree Specialty Machine. They had a Lightning that they were doing some testing on. I've never talked to or seen Tom after that. I have ran into Paul numerous times, let him drive my car, and talk to him on the phone every so often. I will deal with him, he has never ripped me off, and I trust that if he does I will see him again (even though he is bigger than me
)
Hate to say it but you might be screwed out of your money. My friend Steve (local SC'er) lost money to them as well. He called Tom's cell phone and Tom finally answered and Steve told him he wasn't very happy and wanted his money refunded to him or he would report Tom to law enforcement agencies for scamming money off people on the internet (serious crime by the way). Tom told Steve he would send out a check withing the week. I haven't found out if Steve ever got the check but hopefully for Tom the check better have been sent.
Tom must have been going through some hard times trying to run a business by himself, it seems to me like he was in over his head. The honest thing to do would be to give back the money if you couldn't supply the products.
Well Tom has done this to himself, so if law suits entail, he will have to deal with the consequences.
Ok, thats all I know about the SC Performance downfall, hopefully it can be of some use to you guys.
