Summit racing drops speedmaster products
1 Attachment(s)
Due to speedmaster copying and counterfeiting parts . Wonder how far this will fall down the line.
Speedmaster heads may not be around to long who knows. Video of the copied parts https://youtu.be/9dsHrSq8pso?si=NSwq7y0Zg7PJuWGD |
Wow, maybe it does not pay to cheat !
|
Summit stepping up! Good to see!
|
I can understand why!
While it’s good that they did such it would be far easier since there based here to be sued then a company in China. |
I am very impressed and surprised by the proactive approach taken by Summit racing. They could have gone a completely different direction, buried their head in the sand, and played the "we are just a vendor, not a manufacturer" card. But they didn't. They took responsibility for not keeping their eye on the ball and they are doing something about it. In the long run, they will gain much more business than they will lose by not selling garbage counterfeit parts. Speedmaster junk in the marketplace doesn't help anyone.

Good too see some integrity from Summit. I hope other company’s follow and SM loose’s a bunch of business and has too fight lawsuits for the many things they have stole. I know some like their E head SM copies, but this world would be a better place with out SM.
|
very disappointing to see this. Don't be seduced by the low price of China. Good job Summit buyers to shut this down quickly.
|
is that the same speedmaster that makes heads?
|
Yes Speedmaster, Pro comp all the same company I believe throughout the years
|
Well, I think Summit is just protecting their butt, after getting caught or rather called out by the original manufacturer. They must have known from the beginning that part was stolen or copied.

If they were overwhelmed by the volume of products, I guess maybe they didn’t know but … once they found out I’m sure their legal council told them they didn’t have much choice.

Yes, my cynical self aligns.
Business decisions! It can be "good business" to sell crap, even if the return rate is high... as long as the supplier reimburses you, no harm done. And since no single customer knows the return rate is 10%, the other customers keep buying. But a lawsuit is a more compelling risk! |
Interesting
Should be interesting to see what happens Black Friday |
Rodney Butler posted something about it on his FB, wonder if people like the Butlers will follow suit and not support Speedmaster Products ....

Who manufactured the parts that Ken Brewer sold?
|
Jegs has dropped all Speedmaster Products as of this afternoon. Just checked their web site. It's all gone.

"Who manufactured the parts that Ken Brewer sold?"
I'm not sure about all his products, but this regarding the first Tomahawk intakes. Posted in 2007... "The product was developed and brought to market by Pacific Performance Racing and we named it the Tomahawk. Professional Products was the manufacturing partner and they list the intake as part of the Hurricane product line. Side note: If memory serves me right, the business relationship between Ken and Professional Products deteriorated over a sales agreement. . |
Speedmaster
This is how it starts. When right is wrong . and wrong is right. Is where we are. Stand up and point out the wrong . tell others . I'm so Blessed to see company's taking the correct stand. The forum publishing truth takes alot THANKS
|
Summit’s entire product line is probably 70% china, I believe they’re just protecting theirselves against legal action
