    whaaaat! :(
    that really sucks man, i hope things work out better for you in the future.
    dont worry, im sure that when the economy bounces back you'll be able to re-start DDM again and, who knows, by then money may be flowing.

    btw, will the website be down also?
    or is it one of those things where you'll keep selling things at certain prices until everything is gone?

    Thanks man. I would LOVE to be able to have another go at DDMotorsports one of these days. Fingers crossed :).

    The website will remain up until my inventory is cleared out. Once that happens then it will re-direct you to my new race team website, BonanniMotorsports.com

    Sorry to hear but kudos to you for at least trying to start up a business like this in this economy, most wouldn't have had the guts and motivation to try.

    Thanks guys!

    Ken - Thanks for the kind words. I definitely knew I was taking a leap and actually all was going as expected. Although the business wasn't making a profit yet, I had planned for it not to make a profit until 2010. What I didn't plan for was a massive tax bill from the IRS due to a mistake (long story) on my old accountants part that drained my reserves I had set asside to keep DDM going for another ~8 months.

    Bah, damn. I'm sorry this is happening, it's been a tough few years as we all know. I'll just echo what Nate said. :)

    "speedy return"

    Wrong DDM :D

    DDMWorks, who makes your intake is still in business and doing strong. DDMotorsports is just a retailer. I don't make any parts myself, just sell other people's :).
