This is shocking, I've been out for a while also but I ordered from them numerous times when I had my goat. I'm in Louisiana and they used to get my stuff to me in a day or so. Sad to hear.

Had nothing but praise for TR but it seems they really took a hit with Katrina.

Anybody know why Geoff left? Thunder was one of the big shops for LSX back in the day.

Very sad but also very true, I used to order everything from Thunder. I spent at least 10k there in the last 2 years. My latest and will be the last order from them was 5400.00. Got the run around from Angie about how everything was on back order. I called trick flow and they said they had everything on the shelf, the order never came from TR. Took me nine weeks to get trick flow/TEA heads that were in stock at trick flow!! Very sad and poor comunication from TR the entire time. What a waste of a business.

Its a long story on personal issues on both sides from what I heard, but just know that Geoff is in a better position now.

I wish i had discovered this thread a month ago.... Here goes:

A few weeks ago i ordered a set of cometic head gaskets from thunder racing. When they failed to arrive the next week i called and asked what the deal was. They said, "they should ship by the end of the week." I'm like WTF? A week later i call wondering where they are, and they said they'll be shipped that day and I'd receive a tracking number. I asked if he was 100% sure, and he said yes. At that point i was pretty pissed. I called again yesterday(another week later), and they said they had LOST MY ******* ORDER. So i got a refund and bought them from ws6store. Never in my life have i gotten so much bullshit run-around and ball-face lies from a company. Needless to say, I'll never be doing business with them again. Even the refund took over 24 hours and 3 phone calls. On the 3rd phone call he told me the paypal refund had been submitted the day before. 3 minutes after we got off the phone i received the refund......lying sack of ****.

So yea. Long story short, **** thunder racing and their incredible ability to waste my ******* time and money. Now it's no wonder at all why they're going out of business. The sooner, the better.

Wow! What a shame.
I used to order from them 5+years ago and they were one of my favs. This is bad news.
