hey everybody,, remember me?? this is your not so well liked buddy Don Padgett with the green el-camino. Yes its still slow for now. This message will be long but informative. I don't want ANYBODY to get SCREWED like I did from a wan-a be fellow racer. I bought a SUPPOSEDLY built race ready motor from DENNIE TARVIN RACING. last summer for an undisclosed dollar amount. This motor was assured to put my car (2800 lbs) in the 6.80-6.90 area. IT NEVER DID. The best I ever got was 7.45. Hell I was doing that with a mild 350 ci last year. Hears the deal, He said 11.5-1 dome top pistons,, I got STOCK GM replacement ones, He said double roller timing chain,, I got Stock,, He said performance rods and steel crank,, I got STOCK CRAP!!!!!!!!!!! Stay away from this guy,, He's bad business. I found all this out when I got to Texas and tore the motor down. He lied about all parts and refuses to contact me about this issue. I guess I had to learn the hard way ,,,,, But no one else has to. If you deal with DENNIS TARVIN RACING hold on to your wallet and cover your ass.
With respect for other racers
DON PADGETT.
None of this chat should be construed as SLANDER because I have the parts sheet to back up EVERYTHING I SAID.. my comments are the truth.

Padgett, there are criminals in all walks of life however i personally think the matter is between you and your engine builder. Texas is not that far from Kentucky partner. Do not get me wrong i am extremely sorry and have had similar happen to me. People who do things like this have no place in racing, a trust your fellow competor sport. Not taking sides just think it is a shame. Good luck. I am sure you'll be tough in the future. Hello to the family hope the move went well .Errol Brumm 1SGT. USA retired

Since I don't have an email directly or phone number I have to use this. So please Ohio Valley Racers excuse this personal email to Mr Padgett. Don, I feel it is time that the truth comes out. You need to talk to Sam in E'town, he is the one who put that motor together, Dennis paid to have that motor built for you and what you have on the list is exactly what Sam told him was in there. He paid Sam up front exactly what you said you wanted to spend, the payments you made to Dennis was for money already spent. Enough said about the matter and if you think this hurts us think again. I do remember Dennis telling you that you had to lighten up the car also.

TO MR PADGETT, TRUE RACERS DONT BELITTLE OTHER RACERS ON THIS SITE OR ANY OTHER SITE. IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH YOUR MOTOR THAN YOU AND THE GENTLEMEN THAT BUILT YOUR MOTOR NEED TO TAKE IT UP WITH EACH OTHER. AS FOR MR TARVIN I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I HAVE ONLY HAD VERY GOOD WORK AND SERVICE FROM THIS MAN. THE MOTOR HE BUILT FOR ME HAS PERFORMED GREATLY BUT YOU STILL NEED TO TWEEK AND TUNE REGUARLDLESS OF WHO BUILT THEM. SO MR PADGET YOU MAY NEED TO LOOK INTO SOME ADJUSTMENTS IN YOUR SETUP OR REAR GEAR OR HOW MUCH STALL YOU HAVE. THE MOTOR ALONE ISN'T WHAT MAKES THE CAR RUN FAST IT TAKES THE WHOLE CAR FROM FRONT TO REAR.

I don't proclaim to know anything about what took place or what was said concerning this engine deal. However, I can tell you that I've known Dennis Tarvin for quite some time now and I've never known him to try to pull a fast one on anybody. I've only known Dennis to be an honest and good man, therefore I'm having a hard time believing that he'd knowningly mislead you. Just my two cents.
