Default NHRA Edition Website

Hey guys. For some of you that have been around for a while you may remember Road Rage's NHRA club. Well that has been defunct for a good while now. I've always meant to get at least a website going. Well the past few days, I got sick of the basic little crappy page and spent all nite tonite building a new page from the ground up. Please stop by and tell me what you think, but it still needs quite a bit of work.

So please give it a visit!
http://nhrafirebird.kicks-***.net

And attention all NHRA owners, I would like to try to get a database going of as many NHRA's as I can. I mean there are only a possible 800 of us total!

Oh yeah, and almost forgot. Beauty part is that this site isn't costing me anything, since I have my own server, and the free dynamic DNS account. So really the only reason this one gets shut down is if I shut down my server.

Cool, it's about time that got started up again!

'2002 Firebird Production' ought to be a subpage linked to from the 'NHRA Info' page, so that you can add other NHRA info too

2000-2002 NHRA totals: http://www.transamworld.com/2002-ta-prod.php (end of page)

Bunch of stuff I collected back in January: https://ls1tech.com/forums/showpost....83&postcount=2 , https://ls1tech.com/forums/showpost....86&postcount=3

Yeah, I just put the production numbers page up there just as a placeholder until I make the more in depth info page. I wanted something there until then! It was late, I didn't even eat dinner, and the I was seeing double Dreamweaver screens, so I called it a nite.

Those production numbers I got are an exact copy that Road Rage got wayback when from PHS. I was just lucky enough to save it to a text file a few years ago and still had it on a backup hard drive. I just wish I had saved all the rest of his graphics and content too. Would make my life a lot easier. What sucks is I can't seem to locate Road Rage on any of the forums any more, so I'm guessing that stuff he developed a couple years ago is gone forever...

There is still plenty I want to do, just have to sit down and do it. For the registry, I would like NHRA owners to submit some basic info and a pic or two of their cars, kinda like Road Rage had, but for everyone not just members of the now defunct club.

Thanks for the links. I'll be turning it into content for the NHRA Info section.

Other than that, I'm always open to questions, comments, concerns, etc!

M6 Black. Got a question. I do have a firebird with the 1sh code so I know it's not a fake, but my decals say Trans Am. I thought that is how it was untill I looked at the Morgan site and saw Firebird decals. Does anybody know if in 01 they put Trans Am badging on both Firebirds and Trans Am's or if my Dealer screwed up and badged it wrong? Thanks![/QUOTE]

The NHRA option was only available on Formula's and Trans Am's. So do you have a V6 Firebird or a Formula? But yes, there were two variations of the badges made by Morgan: one that said Trans Am and one that said Forumla. Sounds like your dealership just put the wrong badges on the car.

Thanks. I haven't updated anything in a while since I wasn't sure if anyone was even going to it. I should get around to it eventually. I still want to tweak the overall layout a bit. I'm just not 100% satisfied with it.

Now I just need some NHRA owners to send me a few photos and to start filling up the registry...

It's a Formula. You can see the red outline of the Bird past the badging. I didn't think it looked right. Guess i'll get ordering the Formula decals. Thanks a lot for your help!
