    Default Fast Forward Racing Components/Doug Learned

    Wow,

    http://fastforwardracingcomponents.com/


    I can’t say enough about how helpful Doug was to me as I tried to figure out some issues as I redo my Pinto TDC oiling system. Doug spent a lot of time on the phone with me explaining a lot about Pintos, oiling, and other things. He also promptly sent me a fitting I needed. For me being just a club/hobbyist, he spent a lot of time on me. Much appreciated and highly recommended.

    Yes. The Dougs (Sr and Jr) are the best!

    I am fortunate to race with them both (Sr. and Jr.) here on the west coast. My first call to them resulted in a 45 minute lesson in the history of my Swift. It was and is still well appreciated. Great service and excellent parts.

    Doug is a Super guy, he has done the same for me. I always enjoy talking to him, I learn something new every time! I just bought two new oil pans off of FastFordward, excellent made parts.

    These stories were the same 20 years ago - Old School Service, Cutting Edge Technology and a care for the little guy. Truly top shelf folks.

    Doug spent maybe an hour on the phone with me recently. I called him about custom axles, tripod & CV joints. First he helped me realize my Plan A had a flaw, then spent quite a while talking about different options. After the phone call I had a much better idea of what I needed in order to have a strong, reliable set up, and knew he probably saved me a great deal of frustration and money. It wasn't a sales pitch either. It was obvious he just wanted to share some of his knowledge and experience so I'd have a better chance of success and fun on the track. I was very impressed and grateful.

    Another shout out for fantastic help from Doug Learned - even though I'm on the other side of the pond, Doug has always answered quickly and concisely my email questions, queries and requests for information about US-built Swifts.

    A real mine of knowledge and a superb communicator!

    It was 20 years ago that I met Doug Sr. I had just bought Swift DB2 chassis #1. Doug found out that my car still had the stock stub axles that were prone to failure, and Doug knew that my budget was really really tight. So about a week later a box shows up at my house with a note inside, "pay me when you can". It was new stub axles that fixed the stock problem. I went on to win my first championship that season with the help from Doug. I'll never forget his generosity. He understands the little guy. Best in the Business!!

    +1. Cant say enough. The uprights I had for my Lola S2 were works of art. Almost a shame to use!

    Easy to deal with, respectful, attention to detail, and few compare....

    Doug Sr & Jr helped me complete a center lock conversion for our NP01. Needed pins and rotor hats and they whipped them right out at a very fair, low production run, price!

    Top notch people and workmanship!

    Default Strongly recommend

    I have purchased several parts for my FC from Doug Sr. and Doug Jr. at Fast Forward. They are great to deal with, fairly priced, and make delivery commitments they keep. Highly recommend these guys for formula car parts.
