banshee370 Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 I decided that everyone here should know the truth also.... This was posted over at planetsand.com last week. Pete is known here as Iridea250r and Dill over at planetsand. I am posting this partially for my friend Dave Moore (founder of MP Racing), who does not have computer access now due to the circumstances I am about to detail, and I am partially posting it to clear my own name due to the MP Racing post a couple months ago here on Planet Sand. Anything currently, and made in the past several months, by MP Racing, has not been made, endorsed, or touched, by Dave Moore. Dave Moore is no longer with MP Racing, and hasn't been for several months. When you buy or have work done by MP Racing, you are dealing with Steve Hershberger, and Steve Hershberger only. Dave has not made swingarms, chassis' or motors for MP Racing in several months. I feel that most members on Planet Sand would like to know this, as Dave's reputation is what has sold alot of the product for MP Racing, and if something that is not right that is sold by MP Racing, I wouldn't want Dave's reputation to be held liable for it. The MP Racing as we once knew it does not exist. If anyone wants product or engines built by Dave Moore, or feels they dont believe me, Dave wanted it to be known that you can feel free to call and speak to the real Dave Moore at 503-999-4621, he asks that you try to keep call minutes to a minimum as he is on a cell phone until he gets back on his feet from this fiasco. You can also check in online at http://www.DaveMooreRacing.com Just an FYI. No discussion needed, Thanks Dave/Pete Anyone now dealing w/ MP racing or Dunegoony is ONLY dealing with steve. Steve has lied to me and jerked me off when I had a problem and wanted to speak to Dave. The whole time knowing Dave wasnt there. Anyone dealing with Steve should know that he will not always be truthfull with you and you have been warned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenBB Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 I'm out of the loop and don't know what's happening, but that doesn't sound good. Dave's on the short list of guys who I'd trust with my motor, hope he pulls through this. I was just reading the new ATV Sport last night about MP...

banshee370 Posted April 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Dave Moore started MP(Moore Performance) and built the name and reputation himself. A year or so ago he decided to go in as partners w/ Steve. Steve's wife (a Lawyer) drew up a contract that Dave was stupid enough to sign. (non compete) Over the past few months Steve pissed off customers and lied to many.(Including me several times) Dave decided he wanted out and wanted to go back on his own but couldnt afford to since he invested all of his money into the business, and Steve ran it into the ground. Dave ended up loosing his house because of it too... Towards the end when I would call there to talk to Dave, Steve would tell me "he isnt here", "He is on the lathe", or some other BS excuse. Knowing full well Dave was no longer there. Steve has been using Dave's name/reputation to keep the business going while having someone else build/port motors, but telling them "Dave is working on it" If anyone wants Dave Moore to do any motorwork I suggest calling Dave himself and I would think twice about dealing with Steve/Doongoony here on these boards.

Cotton eyed Joe Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 That non compete clause can fuckin kill you. What is the time on the non compete? We had a guy we bought some machines off of 5 years ago (he was retiring) sign a non compete clause for 5 years. Hope he didn't sign an open ended contract. Oh, and the guy and his wife that did this need to have their noses super glued to each others asshole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MULLET~BOY Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 thats so fucked up i never had a problem dealing with steve i thought he was an alright guy but not that this has been brought to my atintion there will be no way in hell i will buy from him thanks for letting me know about all this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee370 Posted April 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Sorry about the confusion... But Iridea250r is Pete and he is from Minnesota. He is just good friends w/ Dave and was asked (by Dave) to post that info for him since he doesnt have net access at this time. This is just our way of letting everyone know that Dave is trying to get back on his feet, and that Steve is a lying dickwad. Its too bad things ended up the way they did.... but hopefully in the long run Dave will have everthing back in order. Anyone unsure of this... Call dave himself on his cell phone (# i posted above) and ask him yourself.. Thank you again everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locogato11283 Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Dave is more into chassis work than motors. His chassis ideas are awesome and they work. He's usually at the BHQ rides. Fun fact about Dave.. When Redline built my 10mm Cub, in 2005, he did most of the work out of Dave's shop in OR. Cam didn't even have a shop back then.
