WB, I agree with you completely. I too have had a couple of phone talks with Alan, but that was many years ago. I have also ordered several cars from the shop and received excellent customer service. Alan is one of the nice guys. I think PinkPig has a point, that maybe internet isn't his thing. If he wants to make it serve him better, he should hire someone to work the net for a few hours a day, while he handles the business. But, with a digital presence necessary for doing business today, I would hate to see anyhting bad happen to him or his business.
Regarding HRW vs SCI, there are some fundamental differences in purpose and pursuit between the two sites. Alan has made no secret that SCI is there to boost the business of slot car racing and get people involved to the point that slot car racing can once again thrive commercially.
HRW is here because of a love and passion for slot cars and the "kids" that continue race them. HRW recognizes that the home track is where slot racing will thrive in the US. I am not saying one is better, but it does add a different atmosphere to each site that is discernible.
