2007 Preview

As spring is finally starting to get here, the '07 season can't be far behind. For those who ran the TMRO race, it has already begun. Due to weather considerations along our intended travel path, Mean Streak stayed home, and while I missed seeing and racing with my friends, the money will be better spent on prepping for the '07 outdoor season. As for the jeep, the main focus in '07 will be reliability and fine tuning the existing combo. I have started the design phase for a new chassis, and will be working toward having it out in '08. I have gotten some really good ideas from many fellow racers and will be lurking in the pits with a camera when I see more. The only rule change that I have heard of for Pro Stock will disallow the removal of body parts from the race vehicle before racing, so as to maintain their stock appearance.

As for the web site, I wll be adding a new interview piece entitled OUT OF BOUNDS WITH.... This will be a short 10 to 12 question interview with past and present Pro Class racers. The format and questions should be ready for Lima. The other change that you will notice affects the blog page and the content of comments left there. As of now, there will be a ZERO TOLERANCE policy for personal attacks of any kind directed at anyone. I do not want my fellow racers to stop visiting and posting to the site, and off topic and blatant and personal attacks are not what this forum is for. While I do not believe in censorship, any inapproprate posts will now simply be deleted. On a final note, there is no such thing as anonimity on the internet, and those responsible for the inappropriate posts should have thought about that. We know who you are and where you are.

That's all for now.
