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. Kevin Glaser trackbird (at) gmail dot com |

QUOTE (lateapex @ Jun 22 2004, 10:51 PM) And thank you Chris. He believed in us when I didn’t. Chris had asked my opinion of starting a board for Fbody RR’s and AX’ers. I told him that I would enjoy it, but that it probably wouldn’t reach critical mass. I thought that it would require a few “key” gurus in the field whom others would follow because they respected their opinions and knowledge. I really thought that they were happy enough with the available board choices, and it is hard to overcome the advantage of the status quo. I was wrong. We got those key players, a focused group of enthusiasts, and lost all the annoying fluff of the other boards. It feels so much like a small family that I think I could buy something from the classifieds here without being ripped off (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) . Thanks for being an optimist Chris. And Chris, now that you don’t have a miss, did you ever try AX’ing? I know there are some guys in your area that would be glad to help you dip your toe in the water. Bob Bishop Thanks for the kind words Bob. You guys have been a great group. This has to be the most mature and well mannered car board out there. Still haven't made it to an autocross yet. I wanted to do the Evolution school back in April but I had to much else going on. I'm kinda wanting to make that my first dip so I might hold off until the school comes back to town. Also looking at an M6 swap in late summer/fall so I can get serious about trying some open track stuff. |

Chris,
I've not done an evolution school (yet), but I'd consider running an event or two to get a feel for things before heading to school. I would suspect that you'll get that much more out of it. But, I could always be wrong. |

This board is awesome, I've learned tons of stuff, but i would like to see a calendar of track days (of any sort) and who's going when, so I know where and where I could go.
If you need any unix/website/general geek help, I'd be more than happy to help you out with anything, I run few boards of my own so I'm no newb to that. Btw, when are you gonna upgrade the board to a new version, there is an exploit for this one I think. Marcin aim: bushmannt |

I'm still new to this and trying to get a feel for "making adjustments" without knocking us down. I may need to get with Chris and his "help" for a little guidance. Thanks for the heads up. |

We have a calander, but we could not find anyone to moderate that forum and keep the list updated. Any volunteers? |

I'm going to give this topic a few more days or so (I know Nata SS is out racing the Pony Express) and then unpin it.
