    Default Thanks for the Support...

    In the past I haven't named names just because I didn't feel like I wanted to........

    But, last week or so, when for awhile I thought we might have lost seven years of Boat racing History...and friends....

    Mike Quindazzi, Jr. pulled at least one all nighter for BRF.....Wayne Baldwin called with some grat information that would have worked for us had Mike not been on the case.

    Wayne wanted to know if we can make a copy of "An Amazing Story" off BRF and I haven't asked Mike....

    Anyway, as I was looking through Pay Pal today, I saw $50 from Joe and Karen Rome. Thanks Joe and Karen.


    Sea Way Marine's Jake sent BRF $200. I'm humbled by all donations. Thank you, I won't waste the money on a "Fun filled weekend in Alcapulco", trust me.

    It's great to see BRF back Ron, and this "host going into a blackhole" may be the wakeup call we needed. I was wondering way before "An Amazing Story" ever got as far as it did, that if there was just one hiccup, would we lose everything. I had no clue what to do, a long time ago I copied off some of the beginnings of "An Amazing Story" because Debbie and others had told me I should write down my memoirs for Alexis and Andrew. I figured the input from friends and people that didn't even know me, could contribute much more to the times I raced in than I could ever remember. After some glitches in "An Amazing Story" occurred over about a week, it kind of went into ethereal space. Sam was able to correct everything and said that the thread had grown impossibly large to handle with whatever gizmo's BRF had at the time so he chopped it up into three parts. "An Amazing Story III" is the only one still active that can be posted to, but the first two are still viewable in total. After Sam saved that, I called him up to see how to get a personal copy of just that thread. I don't remember exactly what he said because that's been several years ago, but the thought never left my mind. I think that time spent to do that might have been a problem. People would not want to pay what it would take to copy a single thread. Sam....correct me where I'm messing up because I don't know the technicals, and the statute of remembering runs out after a year or two these days..

    That's the background of what I talked to Ron about (besides my Son-in-Law telling Ron he could help, and everything I told Ron...Mike was already doing.) So my question to Ron, and where I was going with this was to find out from Mike if there was better technology now to be able to copy a complete thread simply, and turn it into a DVD or whatever to be able to sell it. Some of the complications I think Sam may have had an issue with now that I think about it were copyright. But if there were a way to be able to do this, and sell multiple copies to BRF members, I think this could be a way to boost BRF up and take care of the operating costs, plus pay the people that keep BRF going. That's why I say we had a good "Wake up Call"

    more later....got to go.

    Default Web Hosting Services

    Always make sure when you do business with a "Web Site Design Service company" that you own your domain and know who the "Web Hosting Service" is. Anybody can set up a company and then use a web hosting service to host your domain. And those same people can disappear as quickly as they came with your money and your web site. This is just information for the future for anyone setting up a web site. Thanks Mike for the detective work!!!

    Fantastic Ron.

    Did you happen to find out from Mike if he or someone would be able work something up that I asked you about? I think if it wasn't too expensive, it could be a money raiser. The cost always goes down in mass production, so it would depend upon the level of interest.

    Default 2013 Team Members

    Mike Quindazzi has put in another 40-50 hours getting BRF up to speed. Without Mike's, Sam Cullis's help BRF would be stumbling with all the up grades required.

    BRf wants to support Boat Racing in various ways. We recently bought COR Trophies for the Winter Nationals.

    We have no requirement for our members, but if you feel a donation is in your future, send it to Ron Hill@hillmarine.com . If you have a specific area you want supported, let us know when you donate.

    Also, the Southern California Outboard Association is recruiting members at $25 a head. If you'd like to join SCOA, send my $25 AND I'LL FORWARD THE MONEY TO THE CLUB AND THEY WILL GET YOU A MEMBERSHIP CARD.

    THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR DONATIONS!
