What's Up With Jegs?

Robin Lawrence · 11-19-2020, 12:01 AM

Just to be clear, I work for Holley. Industry wide orders are way up. We are in a similar situation with phone calls.

We have 55 seats on the phone lines and have about 45 people. Recruiting, training and turning them loose takes time.
Because of Covid sales are through the roof. We as well as our resellers are having a banner year. Everyone is working on projects that had been collecting dust for years. People are sitting at home and catching up on projects.

We have added phone techs to work from home and longer extended hours. We added a second shift in shipping. We are doing the best under the circumstances. I suspect that every other performance company is going through the same.

We are shipping more that we are getting in orders now. Back orders are getting filled as fast as we can.

I received a checked from them 2-3 weeks after the Orlando divisional. Still waiting on the one from the SGMP divisional that was 2 weeks later and Rockingham. They sent out the bonus awards from the Allstars race right away.

We've been calling and sending emails to Shirly Carter (ext 1178) in accounting and rarely does she respond or call back. On Friday we tried calling and got no answer and we asked to speak with her supervisor and the person we were talking to said to try Shirly again and ironically she answered. She said that she has all the paperwork from NHRA for all the events and ALL checks would be mailed out on Nov 27th or Dec 2nd.

That is good news for me.
Shirley is the one I sent numerous emails to and left messages for and never heard anything from dating beginning back in May and until the end of Sept.
I guess time will tell.

I’ve still only got one check from winning the Southerns that were finished in Gainesville. Crew Chief Pro paid quickly and that’s been it.

Same boat here. 34 claims outstanding since June.
Lucas Oil and Peterson Spring paid promptly.
I've reached out to several contingency sponsors directly...crickets.
I've reached out to NHRA directly (David McKenna)...crickets.
I've reached out to D3 DD ...crickets
I've reached out to D4 DD. He did offer to try and help but no results as of yet.

I keep hearing that "many folks are working from home" and that excuse is getting old too. If you're on the payroll, then whether you're at home, or in the office, the results and customer service should be the same. There is literally no excuse for not taking 30 seconds to respond to an email even if it's just to say "we're working on it".

The conspiracist in me can't help but wonder if the chapter 11 by NHRA has any bearing on this.

Anybody get their Jeg’s money? I haven’t seen it yet.

I too, have heard that many people are working from home. David McKenna messed up my contingency claim form so bad from the Phoenix race in Oct. I have sent him numerous emails trying to get it resolved, but yet to get a response from him. Its now been 3 months and my claim form is still a mess!
What is frustrating to me, is NHRA could care less about getting us paid(or resolving a problem) in a timely manner. Yet, when I renew my membership and licenses, the money is pulled from my bank within hours.

Holy crap I received 2 checks today! They are from the Rockingham divisional (Oct). Moser and FTI.

Keith 944 · 01-03-2021, 09:02 PM

Still nothing from them. They owe for 2 race wins. I have all payments from race 1 (except Jegs). Have only Lucas oil payment from maple grove. No bounty hunter payment either (a div 1 thing). Weird and annoying
