TRACK is ALIVE and STRONG
« on: January 20, 2004, 07:03:56 PM »
To all Track fans,

Track is alive and strong, not to worry.  Confirmation was just made with Bill Monce at Track.  This was simply a business procedure on Columbia's behalf to pull Track under their umbrella legally.  The name Track Inc will no longer be in existence, they were operating seperately from Columbia but now we are ONE!  In order to do that, the bankruptcy filing was done and we are now Track International - subsidiary of Columbia Industries.  So don't be afraid to keep buying Track balls we're STILL here!  Thank you all for your loyalty and support of Track products.

Rick,

This is good news. I wondered for a little while what I was going to have to do if I had to pick some other company's junk to throw when clearly Del is releasing the best stuff on the market!

For those of you with questions, following please find a copy of a letter that was sent out to our distributors, etc.

Dawn Warren

 In the last few days we have received inquiries regarding Track’s filing of Chapter 7.  At this time, I would like to address your questions and concerns.

Since Track Inc. was acquired in 1990 and relocated to San Antonio it has been assumed that it was owned by Columbia Industries, Inc.  Nevertheless, Track Inc. was a separate entity.
 
The sales function of Track Inc., has been assumed by a new subsidiary of Columbia Industries, Inc., called Track International Inc.  Track International, Inc. received no assets from Track, Inc., but will provide customers with the innovative, high quality bowling products as Track, Inc. had done in the past.   This reorganization will afford both Columbia Industries and Track International, Inc. with many new opportunities and synergies going forward.  Many of these will center on the customer service areas of the business including invoicing, order entry, shipping, receivables, programs and etc.  The current goal is to eliminate some of the duplication of effort for both companies, as well as our distributors throughout the world.

To insure a smooth transition, all of the former Track, Inc. employees have been hired by Track International, Inc.

I hope this answers any questions you may have and I want to thank you for your continued support of Track International, Inc.

Sincerely,



Del Warren
President
Track International, Inc.

Well I did read. In the first post it was two companies and his second post it sounded like it was only going to be one company. So that is why I asked the question....I hope you can understand

I don't think Track is in any trouble. Their equipment is popular so sales should be good. Reorganizations are difficult to explain to customers in most industries. We (the customers) are only interested in products and services. Hopefully this reorg will run smoothly and not affect customers in any bad way.

Anyone who says that Track is terrible knows nothing about bowling. I really don't think there is a bad ball company out there today. A bowling ball that does not match up to a condition or a players style does not make the company bad.

If you need a ball for really dry conditions you probably don't want to throw any of the Track equipment since they do not make a urethane ball. If you are on anything from flat oil to light oil I will take my chances with my Track arsenal. I've bowled many long format tournaments and I have never been shut out due to equipment. Track is a great company and as long as Del Warren is at the wheel I'm on board.
