Now with all that out of the way.....Let's make some laps!
Wow, thanks so much to you all! We certainly love what we do, and although we are not a sponsored or funded site, nor have any real web technology experience, it's fun for us to keep this site going. There have been times when we wonder why, but then there are posts like these and it makes it all worthwhile. I am thinking seriously about making some upgrades and changes to the site and forum this coming year, like making the chatroom more interactive and part of the forum and allowing for more photo hosting. These changes will take time (and extra money), so they may come in dribs and drabs slowly before the start of the racing season.
All of us here at MakingLaps.com wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, Chrismukkah, Happy Holidays, or whatever you choose to call this special time of year. We hope that Santa brought everyone what they wanted and that you are all happy and healthy! We spent most of the morning here in CT in the fog, and now the sun has peeked through. Although I would have loved to have had a white Christmas, having a dry one is even better as it guarantees that our plow guys got to stay home with their families today.
and a little gift for those of you down south:
May all your Christmas wishes be fulfilled, but most of all, may you be spending your Holidays with the ones you love. Thanks to everyone who made 2005 a successful year for MakingLaps, and racing in general. We look forward to some great changes and upgrades, but most of all we look forward to chatting, sharing news and events, and attending more racing this year than last!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good Lap!
...the brat
