After I heard that Hurricane was For Sale I thought it would be a great deal to bring it to Texas and it would be even better if Jay were in charge of the company. Jay is well known and liked in the industry, and very familiar with the Hurricane Cobra. I did feel at the time, it would be a better company and the product would only get better as time went along.
Then low and behold it was coming to fruition and Hurricane was indeed going to come to Texas and CRW announced on the Hurricane Website that Jay was to the the "President and Managing Partner". (their words not mine)
As I listened to Jay talk to unhappy people that had just received their Dream Cobras with untold number of problems, he ALWAYS stepped up and did whatever it took to make existing customers happy with their purchase. Even though the Cobra was purchased from the previous owners of Hurricane. One has been completely repainted.
He talked everyday about what was being done and going to be done to make the car the best built and most affordable in the industry, and all I could say was WOW. Some of the ideas he has shared with me were unbelievable. I am sure I did not hear all of the ideas but the ones I heard literally blew me away.
Then things started to deteriorate. I'll let someone else tell that story. Quiet frankly it isn't my place to do so. Next thing I heard Jay was to tender his resignation and sever all ties with Hurricane-Motorsports. Just as Jay said he was going to do something, he did it.
Integrity Prevails, If you say you are going to do something then you should do it!
This is without a doubt a substantial loss to Hurricane-Motorsports.
I can't help but to ask myself a question or two.
If Jay left Hurricane on his own, (and he did) what makes anyone think things were going well with-in the business?
Why has Hurricane- Motorsports not responded with a public release statement about what happened? (That alone should speak VOLUMNS to everyone following this) Over 1,800 people have read this thread, still no response.
Why has Hurricane-Motorsports not updated their own website to address what could potentially bring this company to it knees? (or worse)
Why has Hurricane-Motorsports not answered the question on their own website forum that was posted by a would be client of the company? This is from someone that wants to buy a car for Goodness sakes. Still no response. (no company can survive without customers)
Will Hurricane-Motorsports step up to the plate and reimburse Jay for his many thousands of dollars he personally has put into the company during the purchase? Jay has several cars in the shop getting them fixed for existing clients of the old Hurricane. Remember he was the "President and Managing Partner" and working on behalf of Hurricane-Motorsports.
If two other people have left Hurricane-Motorsports (Board Directors) who in the hell is making decisions about day to day operations?
If Hurricane had contracted for a building (actually two) in Dallas, why are there NEW FOR SALE sings placed back in front of the buildings?
I can only speculate the answers. It just seems to me that there are an awful lot of unanswered questions at this point. The fact that no public response has been made speaks VERY clearly to me. If they will treat the Cobra world like this when they are starting up the business what makes anyone think they will treat you any different when they get your deposit money?
Just My .02
