Shhh… Can you keep a secret?

This is a serious work in progress.

Three days ago, I didn’t know anything about Joomla. I got past the installation, and started populating with content. The first thing on the agenda is getting all of the articles and pertinent blog posts migrated (copied) to the new site as well as put meta tags and descriptions on them.

While all of this is going on, I am having to design menus and figure out the best way to organize the content. The organization has to intuitive for a user that doesn’t know what might be there. I think that the organization is the toughest part of this.

So, if you want to play along, feel free to drop in. If you are on in the evening, you might even see the site change around you while you are there. Buttons will pop up on menus. Themes will change. Content will show up… and then move.

It certainly isn’t “live” for public consumption, but for those that like watching races just to see wrecks… this might be fun… and it will last for weeks.

Now let’s try some cool garage stuff that won’t break the bank

U is for Ultimate

Walker DriveUltimate. There is a loaded word. For me, it brings to mind a 3,000 square foot garage with high performance floor coatings, a pair of lifts, a dedicated welding bay, loads of tool storage, a kicking HVAC system, and compressed air available in each work space. Of course, there would be a trolley system to move heavy junk (I like heavy junk), and workbenches that could handle the weight of Dana 60 axles and engines.

For someone else, ultimate might mean a darkroom in the basement with a 12 foot sink, and the capability of printing 4×5 negatives to 20×24 prints. Of course there would also be great ventilation and a sound system to let the user jam out while printing.

For our third person,

G is for Garage

Could it really be about anything else? I am a garage specialist, so of course not.

First, let’s get this out of the way. Single car garages are made to store lawn tools and maybe a motorcycle. Two car garages are the minimum an auto enthusiast would consider. Three car garages are starting to get there. When you have indoor parking suitable for six or more, you are in the zone.

Atlanta Area Motosports Calendar

Porcshe at speedWe have recently set up a Motorsports Calendar for Atlanta area events. Not only do we have big events like the NASCAR race at Atlanta Motor speedway and the NHRA Nationals at Commerce, but we also have local SCCA events, as well as Legends races and other amateur events at various venues around town.
Hot Rod at the Drags

Here is a direct link to the calendar.

If you or your club hosts an event that you would like included, such as a competition event, show and shine or even a club meeting, please feel free to let us know. We’ll happily post your event on our Atlanta area Motorsports Calendar.

Mud Bogs, Drags, Solos, etc. are all welcome to be posted.

We do ask that you send a short blurb about the event, which we will post, along with any relevant contact info, in a link from the calendar entry.
