Time to say goodbye to the Prod Forum

All, I think it’s time to put the old girl out to pasture. Only a very few people post here and most of them are not even prod racers any longer.

There are FB forums for prod discussions as well as other, more active boards with actual racers.

I’d love it if some front runners decided to start posting here, but in my view a very few members are just asking an admin or two to waste their time on this board.

I didn't expect this to be a rejuvenation, simply a retention of historical info.

It'll stick around as long as someone pays the domain fees.

Can will stop the Facebook instead? Forums are actually searchable and organize the topics in chronological order not click-bait algorithms?

I only have Facebook because of groups like prod. I’d love to get off it.

I am a Prod racer but on the side lines due to some ankle surgery but I would really like to see this site survive.

This site is staying put, I assure you.

I have control of the domain registry; it costs me $15/yr. My friend Ron Earp has control of the Xenforo database (same as his GT40S and our ImprovedTouring.com); so far he's not asked for much money but I may hit y'all up for some maintenance and upgrades later (but it won't be a lot).

So no worries. Just make sure no one drives me into a wall on the track and we're all set.

Are you sure you're not at greater risk in your other role?

We need this site... or one like it. FB is nothing but political garbage these days, and a lot of people are leaving it. Personally, I only use it for HP or charity stuff because it still reaches people. Otherwise, I'd be off myself.

What are the annual costs Greg?

Weird I replied but it is gone. Did an admin delete it?

Anyway. My frustration is that - next to no active racers are posting about cars or events any more. Maybe we could rename it Former Prod Forum or something

Of course it’s not up to me whether the site lives on. And I hate FB too but it has triple the attendance and actual recent racers talking about prod racing.

Rock on prod Warriors.

Heck, I'll pay the domain fee. I don't have a Facebook account and don't plan to start now.

Like some others, I'm still a Prod racer, just not a super active one. I run a few MARRS races each year - MARRS has a great HP group btw, we had 12 HP cars for Labor Day last year.
