    In addition to all these new site features, we're looking for a few moderators to help out in the discussion forums. If you are patient and knowledgeable about a particular make of car or about a particular division's IT scene, let us know you're interested.

    Also, any manufacturers of IT parts and components may be interested in some new features which will be available to highlight your products and services. Email us for more information.

    Nice job Bill! Hats off for all the hard work!

    I would suggest putting the classifieds in w/ the message forums because it will allow users to edit their messages w/o contacting you.

    ONE SUGGESTION I CAN THINK OF IS TO MAYBE LIMIT CLASSIFIEDS TO 30 DAYS OR SOMETHING TO MAKE THEM MORE CURRENT AND EASIER TO WADE THROUGH

    Some of you have asked about the little smiley faces (emoticons) and how they are made.

    Here is the list of keystrokes to make it happen.

    When are all the new features coming. I'm particularly intersted in the fast racers and where they come from.

    I was unimpressed at the number of results the CENDiv had submitted. I am willing to "take the responsibility" for races I attend to get the results, but what do I need to ask for?

    I don't know if they have the results on disk or what, and CENDiv will also start using transponders this year, does that change my question at all?

    Thanks
