Title: To Rick (tenpinspro) & Carl (C-G ProShop-Carl), Thank you!
Post by: charlest on February 20, 2007, 02:23:16 PM
I know there's been a few posts recently about them and their work, but I propose a major
CONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU VERY MUCH from the bottom of our hearts
to both Rick and Carl.

As far as I can tell, for the past 3- 4 years, they are THE TRACK FORUM!

I would ask all who agree with me to post a "Yes, I agree" and no more in this thread. Maybe, just maybe after it has been here a while and a few Track people have posted their agreement, the Ebonite corporate personnel will see what they had done for Track in the recent past.

Thank you.

Agree. Yes. Amen.  I can remember several times, I was confused about a certain layout and pin configuration on a certain Track Ball - they were both there to rescue this relative newbie to the reactive equipment.  (as well a Charlest, as always).

Thanks for the help and guidance. The bowling world needs more of these sort of gentlemen.

I agree 100% and 100% on both. They've been amazing in helping expand my knowledge about Track and what layouts/surface adjustments to make to help me score on a variety of conditions.

Post by: cnimsk on February 22, 2007, 04:30:10 PM
I just know this...I like Track bowling balls. They seem to fit my game, my style and they last. Plus, I've yet to find any maker of bowling equipment that make anything that hits harder than Tracks, or carry either. Maybe as good, but none better.

I hope everyone formerly with Track find homes. I really hope, when all things shake out, that some at least find there way back to Track/Ebonite. That would be the best of all possible worlds. Good luck to all. And I am and will remain a Legion member. I use other equipment as well, but my heart is with Track.

You are right, thanks guys.  You have made my job much easier.  I've had customers come into my shop with their eyes on Track equipment before they enter the door.  They usually have something to say about how they read about the ball on the message boards, etc.  Good luck with wherever the future takes you guys in the bowling world.

Jeff,

I think when Del Warren resigned or was fired, some people just scurried away like roaches do when the lights come on. I do know for several weeks on here and especially on eBay, there were a lot more Track balls being sold and/or traded....could be pure coincedence, but you never know. Less and less people posted and now with this, only the diehard Track guys and the ones who appreciate guys like you, Rick and Carl stay around....because basically we are all like a bowling family on here.

I can relate to how you feel tho....I figured this thread would be at least 4-5 pages long or more. I am disappointed too.

I hear you, John. It was more of a rhetorical question to prod some of the lurkers. I'd really like to send this thread to the Ebonite people after a few days to prove our point. I think after all their years of time and effort spent here, (and, GUYS, make no mistake, what Rick and Carl posted here took LOTS of their personal time and lots of effort and caring on their part.) I think they, Rick and Carl, deserve some small token of our respect. This is a very small thing I am asking the Track brotherhood to do.

While I haven't been into Track heavily, I have much appreciation for both Rick and Carl. Both have courteously and promptly answered questions that were posed to them.

I wish them both nothing but the BEST of luck in the future.

Oh, is that who's been walking behind us?  Okay Carl, why don't you bend down and pick up that quarter..LOL  Seriously, thanks again Charlest and for those of you who appreciate our help.  

Sixcranker has still said it best with the fact that we're family, we truly are.  Everyone and anyone can come to the Track forum and get help or info that they can't get in the other forums.  I'm just happy and proud to be a part of this group, thanks guys and gals!
