I don't care how you slice it, $15000 in contingency at the end of the year and you didn't have to do a damn thing to promote Vanson for it? World's easiest sponsorship package right there. If none of you want it, sling me the certs, my suit needs cleanup after my off.

Wow, how the hell did I miss this thread? This is what happens when I only get to the site every week or so....
I am super appreciative of ANY entity that puts 'certificates' into our race organization. It isn't something that they have to do and I appreciate the effort. I will also state that this is done specifically to generate income and marketing for themselves so it is not like they are taking a loss.
The sad truth is that even if I were to win a full Vanson custom suit, I would not wear it. I do not believe in the way that they run their business, and I certainly do not appreciate their product.
I take great pains to properly represent my sponsors, and I will not rep someone that I do not believe in. I dont believe in vanson, and my integrity is worth more than the cost of a suit.
It is sad because I would love to rep a local company and use their products, but the simple truth is that I cant in this case, even if I could get one that actually fit.

I had to have my suit repaired between round 6 and 7. I called and asked if they could get the suit back to me in time, she said yes. Told me to put attention repairs and her name. I mailed it to them and she called me the day it showed up and went over the repairs with me. She call a week before she said it would be done, took my CC number and mailed it back. No drama.

Long shot here since I've never done any business with them since I simply didn't like the looks of the suit...but now I have $400 in contingency money.
Could it be true that it's trying to bring itself back after so many errors? I see old bad stories and good new ones...in that order.
I mean I couldn't find anything that attracted my attention on their site so it'll be hard for me to use it, but still curious lol

I if I had a vanson suit I wouldn't throw it away because of the label.
My whole point going back was that they have been plagued with ridiculous delays. That's it.
Nothing negative beyond: be cautious.

Vanson FAQ
Why does it take so long to get your products?
There are 2 main factors that contribute to the long delivery issues that we have faced for the past couple of years.
1. Raw materials supply. Like other manufacturing segments our supplier base has contracted. Many of the suppliers are smaller and do not have available stock at hand and we have to wait for their production cycle to occur. Several of our suppliers have gone out of business and we have had to source new ones, or change the specification of what we use.
2. Labor hours and hand made quality. We make our items in the same meticulous way we have for 35 years. We have improved efficiency with some technologies, but nothing takes the place of hand cutting and individual sewing machine operators. We typically sell more items each week than we make, we continuously run a backlog.

I've never ordered a DB9 and expected Chevrolet timelines.

At this point the thread has turned into "Be a dick to Dove"
If only people use all that energy to actually promote the series and the sport...
