Well, it took a year and a half, hundreds of emails/phone calls, but Frank White finally has given me a small portion of my 05 contingency. I ended up w/a fraction of what I earned but it's better than nothing. I will be putting on a new Fox Evol front end in the coming weeks, but Fox is currently behind on production I am told.

So is this a turning point for ATK? I received a response instantly from Frank and we talked back and forth multiple times today. From no response for months on end to instant responses is a little strange. And my Moto front end will be coming for sale here shortly.

Glad to hear it. Was the Fox setup free or did you have to pay some?

The Fox setup is in no way free; they wouldn't do that. I got enough knocked off of it to make it worth upgrading for. Was going to go Teixiera/TCS but for the same price I'll go w/the Fox/ASR setup.

As is the Fox/ASR setup from ATK is easily buyable but has a few week delivery time b/c Fox is slow I was told. $1895 is full price but right now it's about the only way to get an Evol setup. Teixiera/TCS lt setup is $1500 even if you buy both from Teixiera.

They just put their order in the other day for a batch of the shocks. Should have told him to make sure they were the new Dual Speed Compression set-up and you would have covered the extra cost.

It's a strange situation. The place I raced at no longer has the results online so I had to go to archives to find them. Even so, I could only find 3 of the races I was in. So I still had several other races, including wins that could not be included. And there was no way he was going to say ok to that w/out proof. I have trophies w/the date, class, and track written on them but no go there either. He had to have proof and that was all I could put forth since it's been so long.

As for the upgraded shocks; I had no idea about that. I thought they were all the same and I was told they were top of the line. Now I will be making a call. I haven't actually paid for them yet, so it's still up for change I would say. I would gladly go for the dual setup.

I think you are crazy for nixing the moto front end in favor of the POS American Stink front end. You should keep the Moto arms.
