Old Updates

07-04-01
Happy 4th of July!

New update is pretty well completed! All the thumbnails in the middle are of new additions to the website. Check out the new trucks, they are all beauties! I still have some small things to add to some of the pages but wanted to get them all posted. And thanks to all the new owners who wanted their trucks posted here, we love to see what new and different mods are out there.

5 new trucks from the islands! Surfa, Kris, and Chris' trucks are posted here.

Ryan and Chris S' trucks are here.

The new Mpegs are now up and are finally stable. One of the servers we are using is a tad bit slow but don't let that hold you back, download and enjoy them! Also, a HUGE Thank You to Todd and Jake P who were a big help in getting the mpeg bandwidth problem taken care of.

And as always, my cheap plug for the new bulletin board =)
Go check it out and sign up, it only takes a minute or so. You can post all your questions and get them answered quickly.

New Site of the Month should be up in the next week or so, keep an eye out!

07-02-01

After a ton of lagtime, I am finally updating this monster. New Mpegs are up and ready for viewing. PLEASE read the top of the mpeg page as it should explain why some of the newer mpegs may be down for a couple hours at a time. I am working on keeping them up on a constant basis on the current site budget but it's tough considering the amount of bandwidth that the mpegs consume. We'll figure something out! For now, enjoy the site along with the updates in the next week or so and you need to sign up on the new bulletin board!

Here we go baby, got some new pics up of Scott Q's animal, you MUST check em out.

We added some pics of Scott's interior and he got me hooked up with cerullo. Check out his interior on his page and check out my seats here. You need new seats? Call Tony at Cerullo!

06-18-01
The new forums are ready to rock! Go check em out, registering takes less than a minute and these are much more thorough forums with a ton more options than the retired board. Post your questions there as you will get answers much quicker via the message boards than you will by e-mailing me. (I'm a slacker with responding to email)

06-17-01
Happy Father's Day, dads!
I've had a ton of problems with the email servers over the last week and apparently have received about 1/3 of all the email sent. If you sent me an email and didn't get a response, try again.

06-17-01

New Message Forums will also be up in the next week. It will be a 100% improvement over the current board. No more ad popups, tons more features, much easier navigation. I am pretty excited to get everything ready to go, join the board and have fun, I will post all the info here the second it is ready to rock.

Another quick note on the new forums... It will start from scratch as well as 0 messages. You will have to resubscribe to post messages but it will be the best Dakota R/T discussion forum in the land. I unfortunately can not import the ezboard info but the new ubb will be rockin!

And as always, thank you everyone who frequents the site, you make it all worthwhile!

06-15-01

Site is back up for now. We are gonna give the free servers a shot and see how it turns out before we eat too much of their bandwidth =)

Many thanks to Todd for helping getting us back up and running. I do ask one favor...
To those who download the mpegs, please download them once and save them if you enjoy watching 'em, as opposed to downloading them every time you want to watch 'em. It would be much appreciated.

06-03-01
Not much goin on here, I will get a bunch of new trucks posted this week with a good amount of new mpegs.

I think we have the traffic issue resolved for now so I am hoping that there will be no problems with the site going down again.

And just for a reminder, the 2001 National R/T Meet is 2 weeks away!!! For more info, check out the DRTC club site.

I had to throw a username/password prompt up on the mpegs page. Please take no offense to this, I did it so that the site will stay up and be viewable through the end of the month. The mpegs are more popular than I ever imagined and they are just eatin away all of the alotted bandwidth that we have. If all goes as planned, I will have the dsl set up on thursday and I will be able to relocate the mpegs to another server so they will still be completely available and this site will not have any bandwidth issues. If anyone out there has about a hundred megs of server space with no limit on bandwidth, PLEASE let me know!(it's a longshot, but what the hell) I have one of the free servers set up and they have a great backbone for a free site, very quick, so we will see what happens.

3:30pm
Looks like I am going to have to take the site back down for a few days, we are nearly out of traffic again. So unfortunately the site will be temporarily down at the end of the week. I hope we won't be down for long, when I find out more I will post it here.

05-20-01
Quick and kind of a cheap update, I got a call tonight that we may hit 50,000 and like we did with 20,000 I will gladly give somethin cool to the 50,000th recipient. Please be honest and dont sit there hitting refresh, I'll figure out something cool to give to the 50 thousandth visitor. I need a screenshot and the time that you hit it, and we are golden. It's midnight here and i'm gonna go have another margarita, enjoy the site and send me your screen shots, I wanna post the 50,000th view!

Later
Jack

Site News -
I am FINALLY getting DSL this week (pac bell put in new terminals so I finally qualify, cable is not offered out here) so updates will be much more common. The site has all been uploaded to date from a 56k modem and it takes forever (especially those mpegs) to do so we are gonna be growin much quicker now.

There are currently 3 trucks I have to add (ryan@performance injection, damon b and michael b) so if you would like to see your truck up here, let me know!

After the DSL is all set up and working, I will be changing hosts so the site may go back down for a couple days (i will warn everyone ahead of time), please bear with us if it does. The 8gigs of traffic alotted monthly now is just not gonna cut it anymore so I am switching to a host with unlimited bandwidth that Mr. Phillips recommended to me. For those that have @blackdakrt.com email addresses, they may be down for a day or two during the transition but we will get you back up and running asap.

05-07-01
The site is finally back up! We ran out of bandwidth for last month and the site was shut down for about 10 days. We are back in business and are continuing to grow, thanks for all the support!

02-22-01
I'm really laggin on gettin the updates out, but should have a big one in the next couple weeks.

If you would like to join us on IRC, come on into channel #dakotart on EFnet. We are still fairly new in there but get new visitors all the time. If you aren't familiar with IRC, go take a look at mIRC.com and read up!

Keep an eye out for the new Dakota R/T Club website in the next week or so.

01-20-01
Been super busy lately, not much goin on with the site. Just wanted to say thank you for all the support, we are doing very well. Keep checkin in, got lots of plans (and hp) comin in the next 6 weeks, trust me on that one.
