Motorstate Distributing and Lane Automotive.
 

Does anyone have any feedback about the computer issues with this company? They have been close for a week saying "system down, can't process orders, office closed" just consider the lost revenue of a company this large.

My guess would be that they got hacked, or hit with a ransomeware attack.

they r great people ther...hope they get it worked out...

It sounds like ransomware from what my other contacts in the industry say. It must be pretty bad, been down since Monday and the offices are closed.

Luke, I am hearing the same thing.

And on another subject, what about your venture into racing a stocker?

Re: Motorstate Distributing and Lane Automotive.
 

I had a supplier with warehouses in most states do the same thing. My guess is that it was hack/ransom related. I give them credit for not paying even though it cost them dearly. Took at least 2 weeks if not a month to get back to normal.

It's been 2011 since I owned a stocker, figured it was time to give it a shot again. I will be racing the car a limited amount this year, but my wife Kelli is planning on hitting a full schedule.
