Brunswick guys bashing the same company?
« on: March 07, 2008, 02:36:50 AM »
I have not been on the Brunswick forum in some time.  I have not been on the Lane 1 forum until just recently.  I noticed a lot of bashing of the Lane 1 brand by the Brunswick guys.  I thought Brunswick made Lane 1 covers?  Isn't that like bashing the same company?

Yep, when Brunswick went to Mexico, Lane #1 wanted to stay "made in USA" so they contracted with Columbia 300 and when C300 was bought by Ebonite, Lane #1 had to look elsewhere and ended up with 900 Global.

I didn't know that.  That explains why the anger towards the Lane 1 brand.  I guess it's because they jumped ship.  I knew there were talks about Lane 1 going elsewhere but thought that fell thru.

False.
Mexico wasn't the reason Lane #1 left them!


What was the reason...?

Global 300 set up shop in the old Columbia plant in San Antone. Phil Cardinale was already there with Dynothane.

900 Global.  

When Ebonite bought Columbia 300/Track/Dynothane, they moved all production to Kentucky.  When Phil started the new company, he bought the Columbia 300 plant in Texas.  

900 Global pours their own stuff, they licensed the AMF name, therefore they do all the AMF stuff, and Global is the vendor that pours Lane #1.

I asked a question. Care to answer? I thought Big B moving was the reason, but  you said it wasn't. I just want to know.

but I am honestly not lying when I say that Mexico isn't the reason..

The only way you'd find out if someone from Brunswick of Lane #1 said it, since I know I won't.



this is the dumbest think I ever heard.

I have this big secret and Im going to tell everyone I have a big secret but Im not going to tell them what it is.

Was PM'ed some info from a very trusted source on this board that some quality issues involving short/double/false pins. Remember when Nick has a problem with his Solid Uraniums before he did the CG video with the HRGs?

Kdawg,

I am not claiming that I know the reason why...I quoted chris_m and asked him what the reason was. To which he said that he was sworn to secretcy.
