The mark of a good organization is how they handle the customer after something goes wrong. In this case you've gained another fan.

Boy was I wrong thinking they were winners!!!

I was a fan of Geico until that very moment, way to go guy!

WOW. Dosen't sound like the crew at all? The Geico crew are alway very up-lifting and will answer most of your questions (If They make sense) I was down in the Keys and all of them were great.

While we're all mentioning that the Geico guys are great, I think we're really saying that everyone involved with the AMF team is great. I know that's what I meant.

Hate to repeat everyone else's sentiments but I have to agree from the top down no one compares to the Geico team in being friendly, approachable and generous. From Haggin, to Scott and Marc, to Scott's parents, down to the gal that cooks the meals, these guys are great.

I took my Dad to their tent and the pits during the NY race. My Dad is 80, can not walk or hear well, not someone a lot of people would take time out to talk to, but everyone that was part of Geico could not have been nicer and more respectful, my Dad will never forget that day because of them. Don't ever judge a group based on the comment of one person.

As a former racer I can personally say that Scott is one of the nicest guys I've met in racing. I took my 13 year old son to the NJ races and sat with Scott under the tent for close to half an hour, just bs'ing about racing. My son couldn't believe that someone actually remembered his Old Man's boat. Thanks Scott! Not only did you make me a fan, but now my son thinks that maybe I was somebody back in the day.

I really believe that whoever you ran into at the Geico pits was really "not the norm". The entire Geico Team and John Haggin in particular have ALWAYS presented the biggest smile and open arms to all racers and fans. I would have to say that this person was not speaking on behalf of the Geico Team.
