Pineapple Racing

Its sad to see Pineapple Racing removed from the vendor list. Even sadder what happened with Blake. Has anyone talked to Rob lately, if so how is he doing with the new shop and all? Also wondering if the P.R. website will be up again soon.

Why would it go down?

Rob has a pretty full plate right now. He just recently moved, one of his employees who did the webpage, and took care of internet orders recently passed, and still has all the normal motor, tranny etc. work to go out.....I can tell you right now, he's not going anywhere.

Like I've said before, if you want to make an order give Rob a call. He's a very nice guy and will take care of ya. CJ

Yeah but pineapple has one of the best reputations rotary wise, even at a national scale. If I needed work done they would be one I wouldn't have second guess about.

I just talked to Rob yesterday, he's running through some bad luck.

I was calling to schedule a time to have my car taken down there for Rob to do an engine install along with some other stuff. He told me that his shop was broken into and the a**holes took a couple of engines and a bunch of hand tools.

He said that he's trying to call some customers to tell them that he'll be behind schedule. He also said that he can't install my engine and will have to send the work to Ralph at Groundzero.

I'm waiting for Rob to contact me on the backup plan.

That is terrible. Some real worthless people out there. I hope Rob gets everything sorted out.

I am glad to see so much support for Pineapple Racing. Rob is trying to get business back to normal now, and appreciates everyones patience.
I have been asked to help out shipping parts to all over the world. Our biggest set-back is like all business face, trying to keep the fabricators producing our special order parts. This was Blakes "forte" ( Rest in Peace ).
Being a reliable small business, Rob is now trying to do everything for everyone. ( no wonder he is losing his hair ). He may be slammed but his work ethic refuses to change. Every motor and tranny is treated with care and is professionally built. Thank you from Rob and his crew.
