This is an email conversation between Naylor Racing & me, after 4 weeks(remember, Jimmy Naylor said the engine would be ready in 5-6 weeks Max) I was checking on the progress as well as getting some information on hotels, etc., so I could stay 1 night knowing that the dyno session would take most of the day. As you can see below, the reply from Naylor Racing showed where it was in the agreement the engine would be dynoed upon completion. In the end, Jimmy Naylor refused to dyno his own engine! After about 8 weeks, when the engine was not completed, I asked for my deposit back.
Naylor's answer was NO, he knows how to scam people. He demands half the money up front and you either have to finish the deal with him or lose your money. He knows you can sue him for your money but he knows that will take at least 5-6 more months & cost you a lot more money.
P.S. Notice at the end of the email where Tom says "you'll be hearing from Jimmy soon",
guess what, I never heard from Jimmy!!

to me
Hello Bill,
So there isn't any confusion, Jimmy will e-mail you back with the answers concerning your motor, dyno, etc...
The closest motels, dining, etc... to us is in Sumter, about 8 miles east. When you come here take I-20 to exit 98 is correct. Once you head towards Sumter, you only go 2 miles and merge on to state road 261 on the right. Our road, FISH, is 12.5 miles on the left. Once on Fish we are 1/2 mile on the right. This is much faster, my gps always wants me to take that long way around also, I don't think it shows 261 as a finished road or something. 261 is a two lane 55mph country road, mostly farm land, so you really can't miss Fish when it comes up on the left. As for the fuel, you don't need to bring any. We carry a variety of VP race fuel in 5 gal pails, including M1.
Thanks, you'll be hearing from Jimmy soon.
