not a fan at all of BG but I hate to see any performance company go down.
I hope this helps Holley's situation as I believe it's been pretty bad there also

The economic situation has put the company in the position of not being able to find working capital needed to continue operations after 26 years of business.
NOT a very well operated biz ...IMO
AFTER 26 years ....you should have A TON of working-capital to carry-you-through the lean-times.

It seems to me that the carb business has been on the down hill for years now. Now with Nascar announcing FI for next year, I imagine that is big news in the carb business? Sucks sometimes because the times are always changing.

x 2 ...and this is why that operation should be producing and marketing a reliable and affordable DPFI system for the aftermarket.
THERE is more-to-this situation than is what being said now ...

"Its the economy stupid" to quote a famous president. I own a business and they are all hurting. Real unemployment at over 19%, people just don't have pocket money anymore and with gas over $3 a gallon and climbing its getting worse. I dont care how long you've been in business you need to be able to borrow working capital, those banks we bailed out now want to see every facet of your business before even considering it. And then "unless you don't need the loan" will turn you down. When states (Wisc, Ohio, Mich, etc) start going bankrupt its a lot worse than what your getting on your news station.
