Industry business owners, I need your help

Post by CamKing »

IF you have a business, that has benefited from your involvement on SpeedTalk, please PM me.
I have a couple of quick questions, I would love some feedback on.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Mike,

Being in the obsolete engine business, Speed Talk is not where most of my customers come. FWIW, from Speed Talk I get many inquiries, gladly give away a lot of free advice and occasionally get some business that might not have come my way otherwise. There's the intangible of being part of a community of experienced, knowledgeable folk who willingly share their expertise.

On the "For Sale" side, I've bought one machine and helped sell several, and that's again a valuable resource.

Yes, I guess that's a great question too.

I've bought or brokered two valve orders from Dakota Parts Warehouse (blanking on the owner/ST member's name at the moment.), a rare original Parker Funnelweb manifold from Big Joe Sherman and six cams from Mike =D>

Edit: Thought I'd posted this in "If you have ever bought something because of Speedtalk, let me know", but there it was gone, so I thought I was losing it and posted there too... :oops:

Felix, qui potuit rerum cognscere causas.

Happy is he who can discover the cause of things.

Possibly Brian B. @ DPW? Don't know his username, either. The only one I found was from a decade ago and has since been deleted and is now User z14921672234 or whatever it says.
