Spoiled in Auburndale

[flbiker]

I went to the track at Aurburndale for a night of what I thought would be a good time racing.I am the Goodyear tire distriutor for my area of florida.Early in the evening I was approached By A car Owner named Alvia Carter who owns the car the Track owner Rex Guy's son Jon Guy Drives, He asked for 4 new Goodyear tires. I gave him the four new tires and I was to be paid by Rex alittle later. However what actualy took place was Jon put the tires on the car and then practice, then he proceeded to race a heat race. when he didn't feel like he liked the way the tires worked he simplely took them off his car and dropped them off at my trailer with no intention of paying for them. This was the first time I ever heard of were if you use something you don't like it you just bring it back after you used it. I wonder if you can demand you money back if the racing doesn't go your way hmmm. Well I can't wait till they find out that Goodyear doesn't make any other tire then the ones we were given and they won't be making any special tires for our cars. I wonder if this has ever happened to anyone else. I think all Drivers not just the dwarf car guy's should know what goes on at that track.I couldn't believe that they held up the feature Race for princce Jon but I guess if your daddy runs the show you can get some special treatment.Well I could go on but I won't. I justed wanted to air what was on my mind. My advise to all is beware you can't trust anyone. I hope this keeps some other poor sucker from being good natured and trusting like I was.

Wow, are you in trouble. First post on this board and you attack a track owner. And in the wrong section. If you post on this board you must only post positive things. If you feel you must complain, you must put it in the complainers corner.
BTW, this is a sarcastic post for those that don't know. But honestly, is it good business to air something like this in public so quickly? Good luck.

At First I Thought

you were slamming the track owner, but after a second reading, its the car owner (not the track owner or his son) that asked for the tires.

Did you search the car owner out and deal with him or is this public board your way of getting paid for the tires. If so, you need to grow a set, and deal with the car owner directly - either way, it appears you have learned a lesson in business.

If the track waits for a driver (or Not) has nothing to do with a tire salesman and that appeared to be a cheap shot on your part.
I am surprised that a GOODYEAR REP would air out his laundry on a message board... (not really impressed with your method)

Wonder if the track owner will be waiting for you at the gate on your next visit.

Something Is Missing..

..about this story. Does A-dale use Goodyear as a track tire?
Were the tires flawed? One heat race is not a breakin for new tires either.
We have always run a few laps and then cooled them off at the water hose as Goodyear has suggested in the past.

Something is missing from this story as I said. And OSF has a very good point as well.

Yeah that ones a little iffy, but I didn't want him to win either.

To the Goodyear guy, that really sucks man, I hate to see that happen to anyone but since your in the giving mood, can I have a set of tires too? 15X8's or 15X10s depending on where I race. 2"-3" stagger will be fine.

[ronabneysr]

say mr good year man i need 8 new tires 15 x 10

and i will teach you how to spell it's goodyear distributor

not goodyear distriutor that was first thing that gave you away
wow tire man can't spell can you count i pay cash i want you waiting on me

Personally I feel bad for the guy. I know if one of my employees gave $300-$400 worth of merchandise away I would have a very difficult time keeping them. Granted, the guy may have aired it out the wrong way but that doesn't take away the fact that he was totally worked over and could end up losing his job.

Maybe a call to Rex or the car owner would have been a little more proper.

EDM - Another Way To Look @ It

He's just a dumb ass for doing it that way if he didn't have a working relationship with those involved.
And he's a DOUBLE DUMB ASS for putting his laundry out on a message board.

I for one would NEVER speak negatively about anyone on a message board (and you can trust me on that).. Half the people that visit this board owe me BIG BUCKS, but you never hear me mention Ocala75, Jerry, OJ, Winger, Rick, Richard, John, Jack, Bill, Murphy, "You Know Who", Bob, Tom, Jim,Tim, yourself and many many more... I just wouldn't do it. Oh, Mike, Matt, Michael, Terry, Jerry, another John, Rich, Wayne, Billy and Todd all come to mind... Damn, thats about one fourth of them. (My buddy RON is the only one in the State of Florida that doesn't owe me a dime...thats cause he's pretty flush himself and has a bunch of toys-HI RON)

I want to see what Rex has to say to the guy when he TRIES to get in the gate on his next visit...

Thats what I wanted to say but I was still trying to get a set of tires.

And Son, you better be careful with those other remarks about owing you money. There is a thing in this state called The Baker Act.

Hi OSF, I don't know you so I'm #2 on your list that don't owe you!

As far as the Goodyear man ..if he really IS one. He is a dumb ass for sure. MONEY UP FRONT is how things work. Second most all of us on here KNOW that Auburndale DOESN'T USE GOODYEAR!!!!! Any real sales rep. would go to the OWNER of the track (which isn't Rex to begin with) IT'S his in-laws. Rex just runs it. I also notice that he never posted back to any of these posts either. So is he even what he says he is?
