      Anyone Know Anything About Hardcore Racing In MI?

      I have been looking into Hardcore Racing in Flint Michigan. I was just wondering if anyone has done business with them or know any behind the scene stuff about them? I love their shop, its great, but I dont know much about them.
      Any Input?

      Jeff...I've actually never heard of them. Are they car builders like Rad Rides and Unique Performance? How long they been around? I'm about 45 minutes from Flint.

      They have been around for about 2 years. I had never heard about them either until about 2 months ago. They are an all around speed shop. When I was there they had a Engine on the dyno. I was just wondering if anyone out there had an opinion on them.

      A resume for? I have only been here for two months, and I am not involved in hiring, especially if it is engineer related. If you would like, I can ask around and make sure we recieved it. Which type of position? I don't like to talk about other vendors because it is not professional, so I reserve my comments.

      Hardcore Racing is a fairly new company. I believe that it was either started by or managed by Gary Penn, who use to be high up with GM Performance Parts group. Gary is a killer dude and has great enthusiasm for LS performance.

      All of the good honest employees have left Hardcore Racing and they started Hardcore Motorsports in Brighton,MI. They trade marked the name and are suing Hardcore Racing.

      If you are looking for a local shop that you don't have to worry about I would check out W2W they are about an hour south of where Hardcore Racing is, or Speed Inc.. They are a bit more of a haul though, probably about 4-4.5 hrs west.

      I'm about 99% sure that W2W is the origanal builder of that car for Ronnie Duke.

      The last 2 years I seen them at Orlando World Street Finals with a few very impressive cars, never seemed to do well though.?
