DDMotorsports Going Out of Business

M.Bonanni · 11-17-2009, 01:00 PM

This truly is hard for me to write, but DoubleDownMotorsports.com is officially going out of business. I started Double Down Motorsports back in 2007 as a time attack race team. In December of 2008, after losing my commercial real estate job to the economy I decided to try and make a living out of my passion for cars so I opened the online retail store at DoubleDownMotorsports.com. I have put everything I had into this new venture in an attempt to sustain it long enough to grow into an income producing company. Unfortunately things just did not pan out and a recent sudden turn of events has made it to where I cannot afford to keep it open any longer. It has been a dream of mine to own my own company within the automotive aftermarket industry and this past year has been truly exciting. Thank you to all of my customers who made my efforts worth while.

I will continue to use my 370Z to test parts for companies and continue to build it as a daily driven trackable car as well. Really nothing much is going to change other than the fact that I will eventually not be selling new parts as a business. I still plan to keep my involvement with the 370Z community the same as it always has been.

As for my racing, the 2010 season is un-certain at this point until I find my next job, but one sure thing is that I will continue to do everything in my power to find a way to make it back out to the track. My true passion in life is racing cars and I will be out at next years events whether it be competing in my 370Z, driving someone else’s car, or even just as a spectator. My new race team website is BonanniMotorsports.com. Whatever ends up developing over the off season for myself and my racing will be announced on that site.

At this time I will no longer be taking any new orders for anything that I do not have here with me in my standing inventory. For the items I do have in my inventory, I am offering incredible prices in an effort to clear off my shelves and re-coup some of the money I have invested.

For those with standing orders with me, you will be getting emails today with specifics pertaining to your order, but I will remain in business long enough to see your orders through so no worries. I wouldn't leave anyone hanging
