Thanks to Mr Samuel for the effort to do something for racers and fans.

While I will not be able to attend every race, I do plan to include results for racing other than NHRA and IHRA. So anyone who runs their own series or race schedule, or track operators can send me results and I will post them.

The same goes for drivers and car owners. I want to start adding features about drivers and cars so please send me your news.

Just please remember that I am one guy who is trying to do this in addition to a full-time job.

Thanks,

Jim Samuel

My first thought when the home page came up was 'cool'. After getting the site going please consider nation wide. I'll pay for something like this.

I see the results have been posted on DRC as well so seeking clarification. Is Jim's new site intended to be a regional expansion of DRC's service and if other DRC reporters in other regions seek to provide comparable service they'll roll out similar sites to provide that service? Assume the respective regions/reporters will then solicit sponsorship for said service, hopefully being able to tap into sponsorship opportunities that have marketing strategies that align with those respective regions? Sure seemed simple when DRC was all you needed to bookmark to stay abreast of the action but with Summit's now limited DRC sponsorship I can see this as a viable substitute. Kudo's to Jim for his entrepreneurial spirit and web skills, just trying to figure out where this is all headed.
