Being that I work for Baileigh Industrial, a metal working machinery distributer, it is only common to have race teams call up and ask about the latest equipment. You create many new friends through those phone calls in hopes of one day getting to meet up with them and share a beer or a laugh. And although you both know that they are partaking in one of the most dangerous vocations available, you think nothing bad will happen, these guys and gals make thousands of laps around a track with no incident and even when there is something that happens, they get out of their car and immediately tell you about it on TV. Maybe we are numb to the dangers, but it only takes one accident to bring it all back to perspective. (more…)

Surprise Visitor to Baileigh Industrial
On Thursday June 23, 2011, Baileigh Industrial had a surprise visitor to its headquarters. Jackie Douglas, marketing director for Douglas Motorsports stopped by to show us the new 2011 Traxxas 2wd Slash, Scott Douglas Edition, which proudly displays the Baileigh Industrial logo. This marks the first time that Baileigh Industrial logo has been prominently displayed on what would be considered mass marketed products not produced by Baileigh Industrial.
Douglas Motorsports used many of the metal working machines that Baileigh Industrial sells, including the BSV-24 vertical band saw, and the BB-4812 box and pan brake. These machines help that to produce some of the fastest trucks on the TORQ® off road racing series.
We want to thank Jackie, Scott, and the rest of the Douglas Motorsports team, as they are a great asset in promoting to Baileigh Industrial. Good Luck the rest of the season.
