    Am I blind? My mom told this would happen, but when I didn't grow hair on my palms I figured I was in the clear. Where is the "search" function? I am a lurker, and just like to do anonymous research for the most part. The GRM website has a search box at the top of the page... thanks, R

    This is one of those good news / bad news questions.

    Bad news: The search function on the current Classic Motorsports site is hopelessly broken.

    Good news: The new Classic Motorsports site is well on it's way to you. The heavy lifting of creating new page code and features is about 60% done, and I am very eager to get it in place and available to our users in late summer or fall.

    In the meantime, here's a pretty good work-around.

    From Google, enter whatever word you're searching for followed by the words "site:classicmotorsports.net". So if you're looking for say...all the BMW stuff, enter

    "BMW site:classicmotorsports.net"

    and you'll find a bunch of good stuff. You can narrow it down further, but by including the site:classicmotorsports.net at the end all of your results will be from the Classic website.

    Hope that helps, thank you for your patience while we get through this awkward growth phase.

    I tried drag racing, but kept blowing the apex for turn 2...

    Thanks for the work-around Tom, it does the job. Russel

    Hmm, better a work-around than a reach-around?

    Tom,

    Don't sell yourselves short. I believe you are doing a great job! The proof of the pudding is the growing interest which causes your challenges.
