It is going to get out eventually so i thought i would just go ahead an be upfront with everyone.

I now work for Batlground. Im very happy to have this opportunity to work with Dan, Tracy, and Brandon. I will be doing mainly parts sales and some customer service.

I want to thank all the people that have supported me and been loyal to me over the years, and I hope this is a move that will benefit alot of local and out of state people.

I am very happy that i am over here, fitting in very fast so it seems. Look for my parts specials soon, an updated website, and alot more in the next coming weeks.

Hope to hear from you soon!

We plan on doing more labor, and bringing on new customers VERY SOON. however for the first few weeks ill be adjusting to a new shop an new policies, and getting the parts side up an going.

One of my main concerns was getting some honda and acura business as well as any other make an model. Batlground was built on working on cars. They know this .

But the hectic schedule of the Batlground Race Team has made it hard for the shop to operate at capacity.

Hopefully in the next few weeks once im settled in, we will get back in the swing of things!

We are also hopefully adding 1 tuner and possibly another tech in the next coming weeks. Some of you will be equally surprised about the tuner that may be coming aboard. Our hopes are to use the race team to advertise the shop and to add some new, well known locals to our business. It should be really good. It will make it to where we can race and have the shop functioning at the same time.

And yes, Will...positivity will be nice :) Now I can focus on what I'm good at, marketing and organizing events...and have someone deal with what I'm not good at...customer service. :D

on the real though..

good luck to you and batlground. i think the new changes will be for the better. ;)

i know theres alot of people who know about my issues with batlground. as of this point, i hope they can turn things around and become extremely successful. i have talked with tracy and we were able to find a common ground of understanding. we didn't speak about what happened in the past in terms of business, but more in how the both of us could have treated each other better. i think tracy is on the right path and i wish her the best of luck.



but seriously mike, yo shit will be outside waiting for you. i hope you dont mind my dogs using it as their fire hydrant ;)

I'm glad we worked it out. To be honest I feel like a big weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I'm happy that you accepted my apology. Lots of things could have been done differently but the good thing is that we worked it out. I am very happy to say that you are quite a reasonable person and I was impressed when we had our convo.

Like I told Dan when we talked this past week. As a business owner, I am not exactly the right person for every job, I know this (Dan isn't the right person for everything)...but the fact is that when you are building things up...the business owner is everything to everyone concerning the business. I am so happy that we made it all this way and are to the point where we can afford to hire someone to do the jobs that we aren't good at or just don't have time for. I'm sure it's going to be hard to let go...but we have paid our dues here. We worked 7 days a week/14 hrs a day for years to get this thing going. I worked at the shop during the day, in between going to college while bartending at night to help pay the bills that the shop wasn't covering for 3 years while the shop was getting it's start. Brandon worked for peanuts for years because he saw the light at the end of the tunnel. I quit college to work at the shop full time when things started to get busier. There was a lot of sacrifice that is finally paying off. It's pretty cool to see your hard work paying off.

Welcome Mike. I'm excited about the future of Batlground.

and we cant even be racist on here either lol so we're fucked

Tracy
06-04-2007, 03:56 PM
We aren't discussing the new tuner in detail because it may not happen. It's a discussion that is being had amongst us at the shop. It may or may not happen and we are looking into several local, well known tuners. The tech is a necessity and the tuners have their own techs they would like to bring along.

Vteckidd
06-04-2007, 04:47 PM
i think people are getting SCOTTY confused with Scot Siegel.

Siegel is very happy where he is, and i dont see him leaving. Its not him.

I think what tracy was meaning was they were looking for another tuner to run the dyno when they were not in town. That can be ALOT of people.

It is NOT scot Seigel/siegell/ seagull. Anyone who thinks it is is starting rumors, and rumors like this get people in trouble lol.

Leave it alone guys, no one is going to guess who it is, or who it MIGHT be. nothing is in stone.

so much for no drama :)
