Guys I hate to do this, but rackshack is having a special good untill tomorrow on their dedicated servers. They are offering a 1.00 setup fee untill june 27th(tomorrow). Normally it's 199.00. I wasn't planning on moving us over this soon, but in light of the savings now seems like a good time. The problem is that this sucker is going to cost us 139.00 per month and I don't have that income coming in yet (working on it though). Any help that you guys can offer is GREATLY appreciated and will be put directly in the "how the heck are we going to pay the server bill" fund ;).
Marketing team, kick yourselves in high gear over the next couple days....

lol, I don't even know what accounts I have going anymore. I do know that paypal@club18t.com is my primary, so you can just use that or the make a donation link under the main menu.

thank you to everyone that is donating. We still have a ways to go, but even 1 dollar helps out a lot. If we can cover the first month of the server I htink we will be good to go from there.

Im going to sell water and gatorade at the track this sunday. Ill send the profits your way. I figured i usually give away most of my water at the track anyway so I might as well start charging mother fuckers for it. At least Ill break even this time. :D

Maybe we need to work on some custom labels for the bottles? It could be umm...
Naaaawwwss Cola, Speedwater, JDMpowerAide, Daisani (spelled out in Kenji of course), RicerADE..
Of course, we'd have to offer it in all the "fast" colors...red, yellow, hot pink, electron blue...I think I'm really on to something here! Now if we could only buy that "Go Fast!" stuff in bulk...we'd make a killing! :)

I'll charge people for using my window marker and IC spraydowns since everybody hits me up for that all the time.

No prob. I probably make more off the site than you do. LOL.

OMG! We totally need to patent that! I mean..they made a special powerade for 'the matrix' why not for 2F2F? Besides...powerade is a big track sponsor this year right? Hrmm...
Maybe I dont need a job after all..

Well guys I made the leap and bought the server. We are now the proud owners of a 2.4 GHZ pentium 4 with 512 MB of ram and an 80GB scsi drive along with 700GB of monthly data transfer. I'm a little lost with all of the server setting sitting in front of me, but things should go fairly smoothly. Thanks again to everyone that has donated, and please send whatever you can my way so we can pay for this sucker...lol
