Dedicated Oz All Motor website

[grumpy rooster]

I have been tossing around the idea of setting up a dedicated All Motor website so that we can get all the various makes of car together on one site to discuss all things All Motor. On this site I would have a forum, links to rules for both ANDRA and Sport Compact Group classes and links to the various teams web pages etc.

At the moment we have 3 main sites that discuss the All Motor scene. This site, AusRotary and AussieVeeDubbers. Its quite difficult to keep tabs on who is doing what with this current situation so combining them all may give our class a more unified feel. At the moment there is already a great comeraderie among the racers but there is nothing to stop this being taken even further.

So, my question is. Would anyone use the site? Is it just a waste of time? Or does everyone like it the way it is on our own make sites? I'm not saying that All Motor won't be discussed anywhere else. There will still be much Honda based discussion on here for example but general trends in the scene, who is doing what, who ran what etc I envisage being discussed on the All Motor site.

Am I delusional? :p What do you think?

Darren with the current grow going on within this class of racing it would be a very good idea.

thumbs up mate..great idea!

[muhhan]

I love the idea of a dedicated All Motor site!

[GnJracing]

Hey Darren..Having an Aussie All Motor web site is a great idea! I have been meaning to put one together for years... I even started documenting on paper what I wanted on it, and the structure of it. I would love to have some input into the web site if you decide to make one. It will only help the All Motor category in regards to popularity and sponsorship which it really needs.

Jason and anyone else. I'd love to get some feedback on what people would like on it, and how they think it should look. I'm going to need some help with the look of the site as I'm no designer and very limited in ability to build the site. So in this regard will accept all the help I can get.

Well since it looks like the idea is a good one, start throwing ideas around. :)

[fatboyz39]

ill definately join up.

I've been making and marketing websites for about 5 years... I can take care of alot of technicals.. I'm in, if you are.

[ginganggooly]

Why is it called all motor when they are powered by internal combustion ENGINES.

Whats your point?

Mate, your now my best friend. :wave: Once I sort out exactly how I want it all to look I'll let you know and we can get started.

[ALLMTR]

In...muchly so

[omgzilla]

Whats your point?

I think he's misunderstanding the term 'All Motor'. I believe he's interpreting it as "Motors of all types" not as "Naturally Aspirated power - no forced induction" etc.

I'm good with design stuff and forum software etc. Let me know if you need a hand ;)

[blk_shadow]

I'll be in too...
All motor..!!!

[SlobberGoat]

How are you going to stop the boost fanatics from derailing every thread?

[kyle]

ill volenteer in as a modd to help to get rid of spammers and not let it get like this place.

[hinezz]

make sure there's a honda jazz section :)

[ZeForce]

Sounds like a good idea, ALLMTR ftw!! :thumbsup:

[ALLMTR]

Bump :)

[grumpy rooster]

Don't stress Chuck. It will happen. Its not going to be a 5sec proposition to set up, especially with the level of information I want on it. I want to make it a resource that all those who are serious about All Motor racing can use to view results of meetings, discuss rules, have a section on the cars and drivers, forum, the list goes on.

I'm currently trying to figure out what domain name I'm going to use and where I want to host it because obviously this is going to cost some cash. There are free forum hosts but not sure how good they would be.

BTW, I haven't received any info from anyone about what they would like to see on the site. ;)

Darren we really should get together and draw up some sort of plan for the site as I have some idea's to getting the funds together to help kick it off.

[grumpy rooster]

I will send you a PM. :)

[smk415]

I work for one of Australia's largest Webhosting companies, so i can host the website for free and setup free forums, basically anything you need :)

I am quite new to cars as i just brought a EG off my mate from work and i am very enthusiastic about modding it. So if you give me advice on my car i will set the hosting side of things up :)

[grumpy rooster]

Thanks for all the support and offers of assistance. Its great.

I have purchased a domain name, we have a host who is kindly donating all the bandwidth we need so now its time to get working on the site. :)

Regards Dyno Dave

yeh dude we should all get together and have a coffee or something and talk about these ideas in better detail..
then maybe go 4 a cruise after it hehe
i work in the IT industry so can assist as much as i can :)

[ALLMTR]

Have you sought interest on the VW/Rotar sites?

I'll give it some thought and see if I can come up with some ideas. I think things like "In the build" and "upcoming events" would be good places to start. I think make specific sections should be discouraged as it leads to segrigation(sp). Maybe seperate sections for "race" "street" etc. Maybe contact ray box and see if the SCR group could nominate someone to answer questions on the site...

[grumpy rooster]

I haven't approached the VW and Rotary guys yet but it is something I will be doing in the very near future. I also agree about the separate make sections. No way. Keep everyone together. Its the only way it will work.

[Sir_vtec]

will be great idea.. def joining. prob majority members made up of honda owners lol

[Klayemore]

What's the domain gonna be?

[grumpy rooster]

Ozallmtr.com

[ALLMTR]

[WPN.22R]

Great idea grumpy rooster! You mentioned it in another post as well

It would be great to see the different brands under the one banner. Cruises would be fun!

Being a Honda and Mazda fan as well!!

What website do you have ALLMTR?

[ALLMTR]

www.allmtr.com

[PP Sports sedan]

AND I ...power to the people

[grumpy rooster]

I'm reviving this as it has come up again from the rotary guys. I never got around to doing anything with this as I started my business at the same time and had lots of other things happening. But now, one of the rotary guys has set up simple site for us to get started with:

All Motor Site (http://allmotor.angrybeeracing.com/)

It has only been temprarily set up so today so there is nothing much on there but that does not mean it cannot be used. This site is for ALL MOTOR DRAG RACING so make sure we use it for its intended purpose. Discuss, rules, times, the class, where its heading etc etc.

See you over there. :)

[barefootbonzai]

lol what do ya know, the guy doing the website is my workmate.

[Bludger]

cool.
