Working Behind the Scenes! Sometimes
you have to take a few steps back to get ahead in the long run and that's
what's been happening at draglist.com. We are working hard to automate the
submission of articles and photos so that draglist.com will be updated not
daily but several times a day! Cliff Stefanuk of interactivetools.com
is nearly finished with this process. Here is a link to the new
draglist.com home page that's in the works.
DRAGLIST.COM
FUTURE HOME PAGE!
We hope to have it up and running this
week. Thanks for your patience as we take steps to improve draglist.com!
PS - The Funny Car Reunion was awesome! We
will have a report and photos from E-town and from several other drag
events soon! Bill |
OFF TO
ENGLISHTOWN!!! Son Jason, brother Tim, nephew Jonathan, and I are off
to Englishtown, New Jersey, for the 2nd Annual Funny
Car Reunion. See you when we get back!
Flyin' Phil Elliott Gives Messages! Flopper fans and original thinkers! The famous Flyin' Phil Elliott has added a message board to his website! Now you can exchange thoughts with one of drag racing's legendary free spirits AND you can ask him what the heck is the status on that Classic Nova funny car, anyway?
To reach the Flyin' one, just go to http://www.flyinphil.com and click the
BACK TALK button.
Update blues: Sorry
for the lack of front page updates this past week. Long term readers will
notice that my stories and photos of the day have turned into stories and
photos of the "every other day" (at best) lately.
I'm finally hitting the point where the responsibilities of my day job, my
family, and my paying racing clients are cutting into my ability to keep
draglist.com updated in a timely manner. I'm going to do two things to fix
this... (read)
Hard Disk Blues. We have literally
ten huge collections of photos and about five awesome stories sitting here,
waiting to be published. Our contributors are asking, "When you gonna
use my stuff, man?" Well, here's a new one for you: I have run out of
space on the primary draglist.com computer. As big as the site is, I'm out
of room. We had a guy over on Friday to fix us up, but he needs to come
back. Look for all this
good stuff to come soon! UPDATE! I have a new Dell Notebook computer on
the way! I will move email and all the websites I manage to the notebook.
I also will have wireless internet on it so I will be able to fix stuff
ASAP! I will have it by August 1...
