Sounds like TurnOneRacing.com, Lithium Motorsports, Nesba Trackside Vendors, and the new Trackday Store to me. These are good times for track riders today where you have so many high quality reputable resources to choose from.
Myself, I like to keep things in the family, Monte and Brian Van have enough of the pie already, and plenty of their own members to support their retail channels.
I'm glad you had a good experience, but don't forget to give your own resources a chance to earn your business as well.

If you're in the Midwest, I can't recommend Turn One Racing enough.
I had a LOT of choices when I ordered Brembo monobloc's and master, including the track day store where I could have got a ton of track credits, but in the end I decided to order from Turn One Racing. I know if I have any issues getting things mounted that I can turn to those guys. I know that they'll be there all year, supporting this bad habit of mine. And they're a great bunch of guys that work their asses off for you to make your track life that much better.
Even if you're not from this area, these guys really know their stuff and have proven that they're always willing to help people out.
They've got me back on the track several times when I needed them. I go to them for advice, for setup questions, I've used them for paint work, tires, brakes, etc.

I think that the people that really want your business really go that extra mile now. I have gotten help from Turn One, off of the nesba forum and by way of a phone call, on more than one occasion and it wasn't in reference to buying anything.
I also got help when I called the trackdaystore about tires. The economy sucks but the silver lining to it is that the companies that want to survive are really going out of the way to help us riders out.
I also help out companies that make me happy, that is why I try to buy within nesba whenever possible.

Haha I can say I've officially gotten a call FROM the track day store now. Brian is putting in a lot of his personal time to make that work and he has a lot of personal insight and experience with the gear they're moving. Personally I was a bit torn on the whole thing, but I've decided that all mechanical parts or service work, and all trackside stuff goes through Turn One, because I trust them to back me up if I need it. Stuff like cameras, timers, and occasionally tires, I will go through the track day store to earn some credits, although Turn One will still get mounting fees on tires so they're not getting shut out of the loop.
It's definately a good arrangement for riders right now.

Thumbs up!!!
I have ordered from them a ton of times and always a positive experience. They ship quick too. I give them a big thumbs up!!! I have also told my friends when they asked, where did you get your tires from, where did you get that helmut from.

100% agree...they do a very good job.
One of the reasons that we created the Trackday Store www.trackdaystore.com was to service the NESBA members in the same way or better than other online retailers were.
As a NESBA member though there is a huge advantage to making your online purchases through the trackday store...you get reward points for your purchase that you can apply towards track time. NO ONE that you buy from online does that for you except your very own Trackday Store.
When your at the track the Trackside vendors have your needs covered with great prices on tires and mounting and balancing for free. They also carry parts just in case there is a oops. Our goal was to create a network that takes care of all our members needs...thats what we are working towards.

this is exactly why I am so glad the trackday store was created. I always hated having to purchase from other sources but the fact that this sport is SOOOO expensive and the economy still slouching forces people to look for cheapest and most convenient route.
The TDS fixes that issue while prepping for your next track day and still allows us to support Derrick, Moon and T.O.R. while trackside.
SBTG provides great parts and service but now that our "family" is in the business, I'll be doing as much with them as possible.
I'd reccomend that you save your "low class" comments for when you meet me. I'll be happy to "discuss" them with you.
I am new to the sport, NESBA, and this board. I was not aware that there was a store directly associated with NESBA that I could buy suits and equipment from.
I had a good experience with these guys and figured I'd pass the info along in order to help anyone else that may be starting out like me.

let me take this opportunity to say- all the huffing and puffing nesba members do when someone mentions another track day org.(such as stt) or a non-nesba retailer sucks and it only hurts nesba, i hate it. yes support your nesba trackside vendor, yes support the nesba store. just keep in mind "you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar"(see marshalls post!) ...my $.02
