I have no dog in this fight and it looks to me that some people are running their mouth that also have no dog in this fight. I wish the new owners nothing but the best! Ted

I have to agree wholeheartedly. I will say, I have lost some respect for a few on here because of it. Dont know the guys, just their contributions to the site, which I enjoy, but would have thought they had more sense than to get into the middle of something they know nothing about.

Flame on. LMAO

I do since I loaned a friend 3k on a block he never received.

These guys jumped in bed with a known poor businessman with poor practices and thats putting it nice.

OP here goes and post pics of NEW fresh blocks while folks due go without, talk about rubbing salt in a wound.

Now not a peep from the so called Chief of this collective as we were advised.

Sure the guys involved probably are great guys but things dont seem to be working as smooth as they thought and now not a peep.

Sounds like some might be better off just to disassociate themselves to avoid the guilty by association label.

The big dogs in the deal are not even usa based, how would anyone even start litigation, this was well thought out.

Releasing a public statement kind of sounds like trouble to me.......

I can see you cannot be reasoned with but the new owners jumped in bed to save any chance a a block being supplied to your friend or anybody for that matter.
IMO better late than never, but for you never seems to be better.
Good news is blocks are being made
Bad news is Debbie downers always have something negative to say.

Why would you loan someone $3,000 to purchase a block from a "known poor businessman with poor practices and thats putting it nice."

I ran old arias gm based hemis from the 80-s my friend wanted to build a single engine KB based build, I never thought I had to keep up on a name like KB. No more, no less.

It just sucks, there rep posted there would be a statement, they dont even seem to be on the same page.

Try to track who owns KB right now, it dont seem to be found easily, it looks like all the trademarks are still held by KB Racing.

If they would just clarify what the real deal is weather guys are screwed, or if it lays on Kens and his 20%.

Simple strait up honest communication and folks keeping there word goes along way and none of this is happening.

The release says the big dog down under has two businesses, they both look to be a one page websites.

Like chasing a ghost. Alot just dont add up and lack of communication blows, I didnt start this post here, dude showing off pics did.

I don't have a dog in the fight, but am friends with someone who is friends with a guy who does -seriously.

I am curious. If the guys were to make a statement about the lack of delivery, what would be an acceptable and/or believable answer?

Im not the one who said there would be a public statement. KB-s rep did.

So.

Ive said all I really like getting into here, people are giving them chance after chance but its getting old because they dont seem to be on the same page internally.

EV2, n/m, you posted as I was typing. Thanks.

You should get flamed for not wanting shady businesses in our hobby outed. Guess if you two were king we'd never speak of any nefarious characters and the buyer would always be completely on his own. These guys dug this hole, and keep digging it deeper. Not any of the rest of our faults. If it bothers you two that bad, just walk on away and save your whining for when a business does you wrong.

Don't bother me a bit. What bothers me is people dogpiling that don't have anything at stake. Our hobby? Just what is our hobby?

Wow, you rail about that and not the ripoff? Think about that. You find fault with such postings and not with the dirty stuff. Don't bother to keep digging with a shovel. You need a backhoe to keep going from here.

It seems at least something is being done about the owed blocks. It might not be how the people who are owed want it but it's how it is. It's been explained why they're not filling all of those first (financially impossible) and it seems reasonable. If I was owed a block I'd want mine filled first for sure, but being on the outside gives you a pragmatic (not necessarily honorable, honorable doesn't always workout in the end) view and the realities of it. Has Ken Black done some greasy stuff, sure seems like it. Is it a hard pill to swallow for those owed that he's still involved, yep (and I think that's the root of the flaming taking place). If the majority owners have any sense (seems they do), they need to stick Ken Black in the deepest darkest closet they have and never mention his name again, or let him have ANYTHING to do publicly regarding the company.
For the pissed off guys that are owed I don't blame you, but realistically this company was headed to bankruptcy, and you'd for sure have nothing. At least this way there's a good chance you'll get your block.

Maybe it's time to knock on the door in L.A. with an attorney. Answers is all the people want and nobody is reaching out or contacting anybody. The new ownership is NOT making any of these issues any better.
"We got new blocks flowing", not one person owed a block has got one!
I'm not putting my money out until these guys do what they said they were going to do......TAKE CARE OF THE CUSTOMERS!

Or do like me 3200 big m dart block is on the way ..

My buddy that has had a block on order from old Ken, got his block last week. So they are going out.

WOW!!!!!!!! GREAT news and to think he could have ended up with nothing had others not stepped up to the plate with a plan. And followed through with it. Lets hear the Debbie-downers now.

Very good news for sure..Will let everyone know when my buddy receives his...

Great! Now Somecarguy can go give his priceless advice elsewhere...
