I think the way they treated numerous customers on this and other forums was sad.

Sad news. I've been to their shop few times and they're nice people. Best of luck to them all.

I think most of us already assumed this, as their website from the sponsors forums was down for a good month now.

They will probably open under a new name, as BAD430BENZ mentioned. Best of luck to them.

I knew they were going under when they were purchasing all their parts with a credit card.

Off topic, but can you PM me the price and confirm the weight of the rotors.

Shipped to 2160 Sydney Australia.

Thanks.

Auction did not even happen on the date of 7/29. Principles of evosport(Brooks and Simon) did not show up so auction could not leagally be held....idiots!


I too am a business owner but why is this sad news? If you run your company properly you will never have to worry about it. They made a few mistakes but instead of reeling themselves in and making things right they brought in a bunch of investors that most of whom knew squat about the industry(but all thought they were experts). Their(investors) egos were bigger than their wallets. I sat in on a meeting with Brooks and some of the stuff that came out of his mouth was absolutely mind boggling. I was one of the first people Brad approached to be an "investor" and I was smart enough to say no thank you. I do know they owe quite a few people some cash, it's gonna get ugly and for that simple fact I do not see them opening up under a different name any time in the near future, burn enough bridges with vendors and eventually your mud. For the record Brad hads not been involved with evosport for a couple years now, he sold out to Simon and the other principles. he was the only one that was smart enough to know when to run.

Wish they didn't go down. They did bring some pretty cool stuff. The rotor alternative was better and cheaper than than the dealer offering.

this is the perfect answer I know all about it with the trucking and logistics business and also having a container storage facility , there are plenty of companies that have come and gone in the 39 years of us being in business . they came in thinking they knew everything and had all the right ideas and left with nothing but the shirts on their backs .....while we have been doing better and better the whole time
