I want to tell you all about an experience I had with the crooks at SafeRacer. I was looking for a new helmet, mine was out of date. So, I did my research and decided that a really good lightweight HJC Si-12 was just the ticket. Given, that the helmet had an MSRP of $699- I shopped around, and around, for the best price I could find, everyone was about the same. Then I saw an ad in the Grassroots Motorsports advertising the exact helmet I wanted for $399-, needless to say I was stoked. I called them up and tried to order the helmet and the guy told me it was $699-, I told him about the ad in the magazine and he told me, "it must have been a mistake". I searched the ad for a disclaimer and found none and asked to speek with the manager, he told me, "sorry it was a typo". Now, I had bought a few things from them in the past and explained that I was an existing customer and to see what he could do for me, he said," sorry dude". Now, I'm a salesman/business owner too and I know thats not how you treat a customer you intend to keep. I threatend to take my business elswhere and he basically said ,"tough ****". So, not only will I never buy anything from these assholes (oops, can I say that?)again but I would encourage everyone at the VCA to boycott SafeRacer. Screw them!
PS. I ended up getting the helmet through a buddy of mine with a motorsports business, at wholesale!
