Tim's blog

I am now disbanding Team DBF. I have begun forming a new team named DBF Motorsports. Why a new team? Because it provides a clean slate with no association to the past. It is my hope this will get us back on line with our team objectives and ethics.

Tuesday Night ARCA will come to a close this Tuesday night (June 24, 2008). I will be limiting, if not eliminating, my racing at Race2Play. While Tim McArthur has been supportive, my team has not. No wanted to assist in the operation of the chapter and those that promised to contribute to the financial side did not fulfill their promises.

With that said, one week from today, I will remove all members from the Team DBF team and abandon it. I will continue my subscription there for a bit to see if I wish to race at race2play again or not.

Web site consolidation is at hand.  I am preparing to close Pro-Nuke.com.  All projects and services will be moved to PROWHS.com.  We will also move Member Application from DBFDesigns.net to PROWHS.com.  This consolidation is expected to result in a lower web site maintenance work load.

DBFDesigns.com will remain to market custom software and site design.  DrivenByFaith.org will be pointed to our sim racing site DrivenByFaith.net.

I have begun to move my domain registrations and web sites away from Dream Host. The poor service and low level of support have made it undesirable to continue purchasing hosting from them.

They do have their place, if you are a beginner and want an inexpensive place to test the waters, you might consider them. However, be prepared for frequent outages and poor support to go along with their low cost.

We may retain a software development site their, since, it would not be mission critical on a 24/7 basis.

ARCA Sim Racing has turned out to be a failure. While the sim performs well, The Sim Factory does not. With the lack of tracks shipped with ASR (ARCA Sim Racing) came promises from The Sim Factory that the missing tracks would be delivered before the official ARCA Racing series raced on them. To date, The Sim Factory has not delivered a single track for the series that started in February. This, along with some other very important issues, has led DBF Motorsports to with draw all support for ARCA Sim Racing. And to advise everyone to put off buyng it or not buy it at all.
