The 2nd major facelift was done to this site. The last one was done back in
August 1996. We ripped off code from Jeff's site (just like we did in 1996), to give
the site a new look. The stories from The NSX-Files are now organized in
Chapters. Who knows, maybe I will get a book deal out it. I have a
shipment of Pulp Racing T-Shirts coming in on November 12th, and a shipment of
Pulp Racing mugs on November 19th. Order yours now for Xmas presents!!

Throughout January
Over the past couple of weeks, I added stuff to "Pulp", under the "How to
make Money in the Stock Market". Fixed a couple of broken links regarding
Brainerd and Pulp Racing. (not sure why they broke....)
January 10th:
Added four new pictures. Two from Photography by Aaron 602-430-7576 from
the Phoenix event, picture 1 and picture 2, and two from
Dale, who took pictures of the female hottie reporter from the LA Street Race interviewing
me, picture 1 and picture 2. Aaron Wright sent
the proofs of pictures(18 or so) he took at Phoenix, and they are some awesome pics.
Night of January 8th:
I experienced Frontpage crashing and deleting my data. Don't do the
following: Point Frontpage to your website, open up a file from the Frontpage
editor. Then, open Excel, create Excel file, then export that file to HTML from
Excel to the same drive were Frontpage is point. Presto! All the files in that
directory were gone. So I guess just make sure if you are using Excel to create an
HTML table, don't have your PC pointed to the Frontpage share. Some combo here
screws up. Yes, I replicated it. So I lost my updates between January 5th and
8th. Damn, I fixed a lot of grammar and spelling errors in that time frame.
Anyways, I put up The NSX-Files Racing Schedule, along
with updates to DOJ and Stock pages under Pulp section. I have distributed about 25
copies of Volume III already. Send your checks in!!

New Stuff posted December 1st:

story about a typical "Day before The Track Event".
Also put some info on my engine's assisted suicide.
I also modified lots of stuff in PULP
New Stuff posted November 11th:
I decided to throw up some non-NSX related articles on my site, especially after
reading what other people are saying in the press and in other public bulletin boards.
Check it out at "PULP - Commentary about Stuff".
Correction posted November 5th:
I incorrectly posted on the LA Street Race page that Frank Carlone broke a
Comptech single disk clutch. That was wrong, it was a dual disk clutch.
My apologies for being a bonehead reporter and not getting the story correct the first
time. Also, Comptech feels pretty good about their new single disk clutch, it
has a 7 lb. flywheel, and they feel it will work good with the supercharger.
New Stuff posted October 4th, 1998. Yeah, I know the pictures
are big, and if you have a 28.8 modem, you probably think my page sucks because it takes
too long to download the pictures. Well, I would suggest to you that it is ALMOST
1999, and if you ain't got ISDN, ADSL, Cable Modem, or Direct PC, why don't you
get off your ass and figure out how to get some bandwidth to your house. Or at least
figure out how to do dual bonding with two 56k modems and two phone lines(if you got NTW
or Windows 98/95). Otherwise, if you are stumbling along at 28.8 speeds, you
probably shouldn't be allowed to read pages about fast cars, cause you wouldn't know what
to do behind the wheel of a fast car.....maybe you should be browsing www.discovery.com and checking out stories about
turtles/snails/molasses, etc.
Examples - downloading entire page of the LA Street Race story, complete with pictures,
testing on October 9th, 5:00 p.m.
Now you see why Bill Gates, Paul Allen, etc, invested heavily into cable
companies.....because 28.8 modems suck. ISDN ain't bad, but my bill is usually
around $100 a month. I am not sure how much my cable modem is, but I think it is
about $40 month or so, and you can have it connected all the time. Anyways, bitch
and moan to your cable company to hurry up and get their cable modems installed in your
city....tell them you need bandwith to read the NSX-Files!

This page first went up on May 6th, 1996. I am trying to do minor modifications every week. (uuh..make that every year..)
More sound will be on this site soon. I am having problems recording the appropriate sounds.
AVI files will be put on this site soon. I am having problems obtaining a PCMCIA Video Capture Card. Toshiba is supposed to be sending me one. I have some pretty humbling videotape shot from the camcorder mounted in my car. Image spinning out at 90+ mph, and how ugly that can be.
This site was originally created using Microsoft Word and the Word Internet Assistant, along with Microsoft Excel and the Excel Internet Assistant. Now I use Microsoft FrontPage

X-Files Page - info on the only TV show worth watching on a regular basis
Area 51 - Secret aircraft, UFOs and government accountability at Groom Lake and surrounding military areas in southern Nevada. The truth is out there…..
