Yep our car is the old venom car.........but lets just say it has been rebuilt and is far from what is used to be and leave it at that. I would hate to tell everybody the truth about that car and shady **** they pulled when they sold it to stephanie and ruin their stellar reputation.

Grant Awesome chassis builder/Driver
harv Awesome tuner

They did achieve some awesome accomplishments when they raced.....I do respect what they accomplished with all of their racecars.

Do not really have anything else good to say about Team Venom.

that was our hatch first and venom was and has always supported our team to the fullest and have always treated us like family! the pink hatch was given to jen in canada and they never did anything with the car and the supra i believe was at venom the last time i was there and the reaso for no racing is they wanted to take care of buisness because racing was taking to much time away from the important stuff! to all of team venom!

Re: the bolded section. There's way more to that story than most people on here know. Jen got hosed, and the person that hosed her, and MANY others was supposedly the closest one to her, and that person was not associated with Venom at all, matter of fact, I thinkthe person might have hosed them as well.

Well I may as well put it out in the open... Calling out Dov Arnoff last know to be working at Slowboy racing in PA.

Since I'll love doing this... since someone doesn't respond to my e-mails and fleas the god damn country to hide from the people that he owe's money too!!

some people that come to mind quickly

- Graham (money loaned to you)
- Mark ($900 worth of Audio Equitment)
- Ben (Head, distributor)
- Me (bogarts and MH slicks)
- countless others that I won't mention

Food for thought...

I loaned him my Bograts and MH slicks to try out.. never seen them and was given run around stories about where they are... short story is he sold them for money and tried to blame Jen...

Second... Race car(pink civic) messed up a head and distributer... So being the nice friends at the time my brother loaned his B16 Head with a port job, supertech valves etc to Dov for the car.. he used and he was suppose to replace. The car still sits in the garage with half an engine!!! Sold it for CASH again!!


Now I get to the fun part in sharing with the community... Life a b_tch Dov... remember it's not my job to call you to get my money or goods!! My job to make yourlife difficult... btw I haven't even start to attempt to make your life really hard.... you can run but not hide!!

I've just been too busy work work making money to give a damn!

It's in your court as you are the COWARD running away!


now for some sob story mono log....


Keep in mind he is no longer responding to my e-mails.

Well figured I'd pull this out of the woodwork....(I don't forget)

So have you thought about the remedy to the situation? I can take a payment plan through paypal.... (gladly)


I love how favors are done and never returned... parts were loaned, not given... (makes a huge difference)

Someone pocketed the money from the sale of part and it wasn't the rightfull owner.



Ben's car still sits with half an engine... he's in no position to buy a new head and distributor... he can't afford it, still in school and working part time... with cell phone payment, car payment and insurance it tough to make ends meet.


I don't have those lovely bograts I bought and ben used once..The money be great to buy myself a vacation or maybe just a really good night of drinking...who knows.


So what's your plan? I am not going tyipcal guy route of going after you and taking care of business... not my style.. nor do I want to..

Be a man and realise you messed up, and figure out how you are going solve it. Walking away and ignoring it only makes you a coward, stand up for yourself. It's not my job to chase you... I'm not the one running away and avoiding the situation.

Dov,
Well the fact is that the parts were given to you , this makes you responsible. Unfortunetly I do not talk to Jen and when confronted she pointed in your direction for restitution on the parts. I am not even going to mention of the "hear-say" stories of the parts being sold for money by you. If you had the parts like you've always mentioned.... why always come up with excuses that it's in your dad's garage?

As for not having money.. well we all chase dreams and try to achieve them, you being unemployeed for 2 years really isn't my problem. If I remember you were working that TV show last year, so you SOB story of not working for two years is far from the truth!

I don't care how it gets resolved. I am not going to loose sleep over this, nor am I going to go hungry. It's the principal of the matter, and your whole approach to the whole situation, I don't think you've been honest.

Greg

Greg you could have pulled me aside!!! I want you to be very clear on the fact that I did not take that stuff from you. That was your favor to Jen. I would love to give you guys cash for all the stuff but I have to be strait with you. I don't have the cash. I realize you and your brother were awsome friends and helped whenever you could but I am not able to re pay those favors right now. It has been almost 2 years since I have had a job! Not that its a excuse but I'm trying really hard to get things going now. I have been chasing a dream for 2 years now and failed once. I'm trying to open my own shop I have the space and the hookups for parts but don't have the cash to get it off the ground. In the past 3 months I have made a good contact in the USA and I'm working on it all coming together.

I miss hanging with you guys wish I could have been around for the past while but I'm at the mercy of $$$. I currently live in my shop because that is all the cash I have now paying rent. Things are not good at all.

The only reason I was able to come to Ohio was for work. I was working in a booth to try and raise some cash.

I don't want to put all the blame on Jen because I know if she just came to you guys asking for that stuff you would have said no. It is on my shoulders and I feel it all the time.

Sorry I'm a expletive up but this is what has been happening for the past while.

Dov,

It's not for me to bring it up, you know very well who you owe money/stuff too... I wasn't about to make a scene in front of your GF.... did you want me to?

I am sure you haven't forgotten about my bogarts/slicks and Ben's B16 head and distributor...

For someone who has helped you out in the past and been so generous, you sure know how to avoid paying them back... be a man and own up to your debts...

After 2006 NDRA Norwalk finals I posted a comment on honda-tech that he is a coward... he saw me at the event but didn't have to ***** to fess up to the money he owes people standing in front of him...

Thinks it's my job to beg for my money back... nope

Haha, well put Greg....

I being Graham am still owed money....

He is so much of a coward, he would not even respond to lawyers letters..

You can have bad credit, but when you do not have personal references, in my opinion, you've got nothing..

When you screw the bank, ok... When you screw your own friends out of money..... That just ruins your credabilty when you just can't find any money or jobs....

So Dov, if you're out there.... You can only con people for so long till you end up getting screwed yourself... And, I really hope it comes down to that...

The Venom Tundra is still over at Harv's, as of a year ago I don't think it was ever sold. It was supposed to be, but something happened and the deal fell through, I guess.
