ORNANGE CRUSH Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 (edited) This is the true story of my ordeal with Charlie Ohton (Ohton Racing) May -The first week of May I contacted Charlie Ohton and talked about a drag chassis. At that time I sent him a $1000 deposit to build one and I told him I would be in Arizona at the end of May. At the end of May I went to AZ and Charlie asked me to stop by and I did and spent the day there and saw my chassis on the table with my name on it. It was almost done I told him I was leaving June 3rd and he said it would be done and ready to ship before I left. June-A few days after I got home I tried to contact him. It took a lot of phone calls. It took about a week to get in touch with him and at this time he told me that it was getting crated to be shipped and would go out that week. Well at the end of the week he told me that after they got it strapped in the crate that he did not like how the steering stem was. So, he did not ship it and he wanted to fix it a better way. Well that took 2 1/2 weeks to get done. July - At the end of the first week of July, I was told it was again ready to be shipped and would be brought to a shipper after the weekend. I called at least 75 times between Monday and Friday and finally I got a hold of him on Saturday. He told me that it did not make it the shipper, but it will go out on Monday and to call him then. So, I said OK, I will call you Monday. I tried 7 times that day and I did not get back in touch with him until Wednesday and was told it was going out that day. He said I?

535banshee Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 i have said it from day one this man is a P.O.S. this guy charlie really thinks he is the king of the drag world and he can do what ever he feels like doing. i know of alot of people that have some really good stories but do not want me to bring thier company name into this. troy i am glad you got on here and backed me and don up on this whole story. DO NOT BUY A THING FROM CHARLIE OHTON. i called and talked to charlie on the phone when all this was going down and told him he needed to make this whole thing with troy right. i told him it wasnt right the way he runs his sand slinger section on his website. you cant talk bad about me but its ok to talk bad about other shops. he asked me if he could talk and i said go ahead and than nothing. the man hung up because he didnt know what to say. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SHOP CALLED "OHTON RACING" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnCieNt1 Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 i just spoke with Troy and he seems to be a pretty stand up guy.. It is sad when any business doesnt honor their obligation to provide you with the parts you have paid for, then ban you for telling the truth about your dealings with them.. I for one will never purchase from Ohton and they should make this right to save face with the people who spend their hard earned money with them....just my 2 cents worth on the matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still pissed off about the other thread that was deleted. It's like lets protect this guy so his shady business practices aren't tainted. It's forums like this that inform us of who and who not to deal with. I'm with all you guys on this, I had no doubt of the truth in the matter and a big thanks for all of you coming to this site with the information. It's just sad that Planet Sand members never get to discover the truth there because of shady moderation. That stuff pisses me off to no end!!!

dynodon Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 I can understand why it was deleted. Not that I agree with it, BUT I can understand. The whole purpose in the fisrt place was to let others know what was happening.Not necasarily trying to BASH someone, just trying to inform other racers.

Ohton Racing Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 (edited) Wow, Some of the stories are in fact amazing, I am disgusted at how stories get so far out of synch, Yes you are right; there are always 2 sides to a story, We could battle it out forever, my text vs. your text! Life is to short for that! I have admitted my time management faults and apologized to you. Your buddies were giving me a hard time on the net while you were being cool on the phone, think there could have been a problem with that since I sold you the chassis not them! Orange Crush all I can say to you is YES I AGREE you did keep your cool with me and never showed that you were pissed off whatsoever!!! In fact you told me several times that I could take my time because you did not think you were going to be ready until NOVEMBER! Your coolness led me to believe that you were okay with my timeframe and I could continue taking my time with your chassis!
