Well as a long time INdy dealer I can tell you the thinking behind this 40 dollar minimum policy. It is a money losing proposition. Paying an employee to take, pick, pack and process small orders is simply not profitable on a small scale. Summit and Jegs can because of volume. Most racers prefer to deal with local vendors because it saves time and money. Find a local dealer that will keep you happy and life will be much better. If your local guy does not sell Indy stuff then ask him to contact another dealer that can help him out if his volume isn't high enough. Everybody wins...
