Can everyone post all the facts that is going on with Track right now in this thread? Because i hate looking at all different threads and don't even know what's going on. Is Track going to be done? IS the Phoenix still comming out?!

Now that you say that, it was probably april that I heard not August. That would make more sense.

First off, when a take over happens, it does not happen over night. It will take time for Ebonite to handle all the admin and basically running Columbia. I do not believe everyone was let go. That would mean they have a empty building in Texas and inventory stocked up and not going anywhere.

Ebonite wants Columbia to be profitable and is not going to halt everything. It is a business and they want to make money. The phoenix will come out as scheduled, since some folks already have them and I am sure they are being boxed and will be shipped on scheduled (February 12th, from what i hear).

Columbia lovers, do not panic. The only problem I see is that Ebonite can not keep up manufacturing their own equipment, I can not see how they can move the manufacturing process from Columbia to their facilities without making big improvements.

Time will tell.

If their intent was a takeover to sell off the pieces or eliminate a competitor, it can happen really quickly and all people can be let go in a blink. Texas is not a right to work state so unless you have a written contract signed by Ebonite, or your contract is not outlined in the legalities of the merger, then you are screwed. I am sure it is already in the works and probably has been, for Ebonite to begin the shut down process. I am sure this purchase didn't occur overnight. Ebonite has been planning behind the scenes. I would not guarantee the Phoenix will be released but I wouldn't bet against it either. It all depends on Ebonite's outlook on it!

Some users will be happy then tekneek. themmez has posted that his sources have said the Phoenix will not be produced/released. It's just so confusing. LOL

I'd bet it still gets released. I don't think they want to take a another hit on a ball like they did with the Heat Wave, which was suppose to be a US release, ended up going to overseas when newguy took over.

the Phoenix is on Track's website so, to me, that makes it seem like it will be released.

Would this be the first time that "themezz" was wrong and/or out of line about something though??

I didn't think so either..

You are right joey but so far, he has been pretty right on with his facts thus far on this.

As it is right now - plant is closing April 8th and as far as I know everyone is employed until that time. It is my understanding that all orders placed before yesterday are still going to be processed out of San Antonio. Order from today forward will be processed through Ebonite. If my understanding is correct then the Phoenix will be released as scheduled because we already have distributor orders for this ball.
There are definitely more questions than answers right now. This is the best I can tell you. I also wanted to thank everyone who has supported me and my efforts over the past several months. It was a pleasure working with everyone. I am sure that our paths will cross again in this shrinking world!

Wow, this really sucks! All this change in less than six months. Everyone I met at Clint's back in October were great and really helpful. Clint, Del, Ken & you, Mike, it was a terrific experience and I had a lot of fun. Good Luck to all. As for me, I'll wait and see what Phil has to say. If it's not good, I'll probably go back to Storm.

Adam, from what I understand, starting today, all orders go through Ebonite. I have their phone number if you need it.
