Subject: Roll bars and Red Line Oil and patents
>From Jay Morris
ok guys, real quick:
I have bought roll cages for myself from Kirk Racing in Alabama, 205 608 1156
and have been very happy with them. I buy just the pre-bent bars, and weld it
myself, so I cannot speak for their welding, but I hear from many non-welder
types that it is very high quality. I will point out that I have all the
tools and stuff needed to make rollcages within 20 feet of me, and I still
order prebent tubing from Kirk. They make a bolt in rollbar for the e36 m3
that is $339, but if you tell the girl who answers the phone that you know
me, she'll sell it for under $300. (erw tubing, dom is a bit more)
Second, regarding Red Line Oil, and Roy the Chemist in particular. There was
some inference that because Roy doesn't have any patents, that he doesn't
know what hes's doing. All I can say, (and I mean all I can say) is that the
oil that Roy has made for our shocks is light years ahead of every other oil
we've tested in terms of resistance to heat, lubricity, etc etc etc. You
think to yourself "yeah but compared to what". We have tested every oil that
we can get our hands on, worldwide, including several that are not even sold
to anybody, just given to top teams ( network TV type teams). Heard a rumor
that Amsoil had trick new oil for MX bikes? Bought it. Silkolene has new
stuff for Penskes? stole it. etc etc. Bottom line: I like Roy and Tim and I
don't care where they used to work because I used to work at a gas station.
Third. Patents? I have 2 and I don't think I would ever do it again. I have
been ripped by some of the finest "Pacific Rim" companies in the world, and
the time and money I spent on patent attornies would have been better spent
playing hopscotch on a summer day.
