Thumbs up CARTEK ***CHANGES and SPECIAL***

Reposting this from another section:

We are excited to announce that Cartek is now a 100% family owned business. As of June 6th, 2008 Dave Busch is no longer with Cartek Racing Inc. Sales and management are now run by Julian Hormilla and Maxwell Hormilla. Engine packages, power adder setups, tuning, and engine assembly still remains in Julio Hormilla’s hands as it has always been, so we can still expect the same high level of performance and reliability Cartek has become known for.

In celebration of this milestone in Cartek history we are going to be running a Heads and Cam special. On any stage of Cartek Heads and Cam package sold there will be a $250 discount. Also we will be offering an additional $250 discount off the install bringing your total savings to $500 on any stage of Cartek Heads and cam installed at Cartek. The sale will be running from now until July 11th, 2008.

For any inquiries we can be reached via PM or direct by phone at the shop.

Thanks,
Maxwell Hormilla

Well maybe a little bit...but I think that it's more just a way of letting the world know about the advent of a new beginning for this already well established and race proven organization.

We're all celebrating Dave's departure.
The fact that he's not there anymore means that there actually is a God.

All the best to you guys!

Yeah that guy never really impressed me, though I had other complaints too, but it's in the past. New shop looks great and I wish them the best.

I talk to RobZ and have spoken with him on what you're eluding to.
When you have a business partner sometimes things are out of your hands.

I may call Rob but I think senor' Hormilla said he was going to call him himself.

Sure Don , You wish him luck by coming on this thread with your negative remarks , your a real class act , your a POS for posting in here .

Now back to the point of this topic , I've been a Cartek customer for 9 years and I wish the " new " Cartek the best of luck in the future . Julio is an honest , loyal , stand up guy , a man who's extremely knowledgeable in his field , there are some " great tuners " out there , some of them just know tuning , some know tuning and engine building , Julio knows it all , Tuning , engine building , wiring/electronics etc , the guy could build a car from the ground up by himself if he had to , not many tuners have the all around knowledge he has .

I know Julio and sons , and Roy , Mike , Tim and the " new guy " are all highly motivated and are looking forward to running a better business on all levels , working as a team , like it should be , hopefully some customers that left specifically because of Dave , will consider coming back , if not , so be it , you can only focus on the future .

As an owner of a performance shop, I can tell you that no matter how good you are, things happen and people move on sometimes. Stirring the pot like this only fuels a war between shops that is completely unnecessary, and there is plenty of enough work for everyone.
Bashing in one direction is certainly going to provoke bashing in the other, and all it will do is direct potential customers to less competent shops and the customer suffers. So please, lets nip this in the bud and put a stop to it now.

Julio and crew, I wish you guys the best of luck in your new venture, you have provided us with some of the toughest competition on the track, and I hope to continue the fun.
