I wanted to take a minute to thank everyone for making this a great place to hang out, relax, and exchange information.

When Chris posted that he was going to tackle another project and he would be offering the frrax.com board for sale, I quickly made arrangements to buy it. I did this for one primary reason. This is a great place to hang out and I didn't want to see anything change that. So, I doubt that anyone will really notice much of a change around here and I feel that is a good thing. I still believe that the membership should have a "say" in many decisions, and I hope to follow Chris's example of asking for input before making any major changes.

I have only a few basic goals.

1. Keep things running as smoothly as possible.
2. Look for ways to finance the operation of the board so it will remain self sufficient (fair enough?)
3. Get this "buying a house thing" out of the way so I can get back to racing.

Looking at the web traffic in the admin screens, it seems that we are growing. Traffic has slowly increased over the course of the year. This should make us more attractive to potential advertisers. I suspect that the only changes will be a few additional advertisers on the board. This will help to insure that the board has the required capital to operate and grow. Everything else should remain pretty much "as is". "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Thanks for your support.

Feel free to drop me a line with any questions, suggestions, ideas, etc.

Pretty cool Kev Congrats :thumb up:  (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ...thanks for keeping this place intact and taking on the task.Even though I guess it was at a cost.

Hmmm I guess you can have a full set of rockers now TB ? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

It was a reasonable price to pay to insure the future of the board. I agree, this place is like family. Last weekend, Brian (shortbus) asked if I wanted to help with an LS1 brake swap and installing some suspension parts, I said "sure". Not that I'd ever met him or even talked on the phone with him. I had him drop by and we got lots done in a fun afternoon (and his '96 is nicer than my 2002). Great guy (and he has a remarkably tolerant and outstandingly understanding wife as well, who put up with all of us for the day), seemed like I'd known him all my life (racer types are like that, as you all know). I feel like I've known most of you guys that same way. And, if you are ever in Columbus, Ohio, look me up, we'll grab lunch or a beer. That is why I decided to take over. I wanted to preserve that for us all.

I still seem to be a few rockers short.....


Now all I need to do is talk bob into making me a set of brake brackets..... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
