Strange Engineering and Bruce Bachelder
 

Lots of negative threads here lately so I thought I'd buck the trend. Got lucky enough to hit the Perfectly Strange Performance Award at Norwalk this past weekend. After becoming a third round runner up to Lynch/Wertman I asked the staging lanes guys what I had to do for verification. They sent me to Bruce Bachelder. I asked Bruce what I had to do and he replied, with a smile I might add, that he had already checked my car and e-mailed the info to Strange.

Came home from work today and there was package from Strange containing my hat, decals, and my check!

Thank you Strange Engineering and thank you Bruce Bachelder!

I now know where my brake upgrade will be coming from.

Joe, it's always good to hear the news when a sponsor/vendor treats racers well, it lets racers know where to spend their money.

When they announced you won the award (pending decals and such) on the Norwalk audiocast I wondered how many weeks you'd be waiting...what a pleasant surprise that Strange was so quick to pay. Makes me rethink my next purchase for sure!

Congrats, Joe!

My dealings with Bruce, or any of them for that matter, has always been pleasant. I have a hard time understanding some of the complaining.

I won the same award in SS a few years back at Bristol. I had the very same experiience with Bruce B, and with Strange (had box with hats and check by wed).

I also posted a similar thread back then.

Thanks again to Strange Engineering. (and Bruce).

Re: Strange Engineering and Bruce Bachelder
 

I also won the award a few years ago and the box with the hat and check beat me back home. We did take 3 days to get back home being retired with no job to get back to, but it was there when I went through the mail on Thursday morning.
A very nice surprise to have waiting.

Strange is also very good with their parts services.
I had a leaking shock at Las Vegas last fall when I looked inside the trailer upon arrival at the track. I called and Strange sent me overnight a new shock and I was good to go for the race.

Overall they are just great people and a great product.

Been torn down more than once by Bruce and he has been nothing but fair to me and everyone else I have seen. I have known him since the old Ed Hamburger days, very knowledgeable guy. Strange is an outstanding Sportsman supporter! Jim

The very 1st time we had any dealings with Bruce was at the 1st race Justin was running super-stock and after going over the scales and doing fuel check he had Justin pull off to the side and we are thinking ok here we go they are going to check something, So Bruce walks around the drivers side and Justin open his door and Bruce says I see that was your 1st round win in super stock congradulation. and he has been nothing but fair ever since even when they wanted to tech certain things on our cars. and Strange is always one of the 1st checks you will receive.

Strange Engineering has been very good in terms of their products and customer support for me also.

Nice Job with the Perfectly Strange award Joe!

That $$$ going into your StickShift Conversion Fund? :)
