I’ve updated the RallyDB to include the two latest rounds of the Rally America Championship (STPR and Oregon Trail).  I also added the 2007 100 Acre Wood and the 2007 Regional Cup.

I’ll be back-filling all the 2007, 2008 Rally America and NASA Rally events, so stay tuned.

Also is an improved Competitor Database, which is a great way to to a quick lookup on your favorite rallyist.

We’ve launched the new version of the website tonight.

We’ve tried our best to make sure all the features of the old site work on the new site.  If you notice something is not working as expected, please let me know at kris@fatboyraceworks.com.

A couple of new features to point out:

• New Search Box — The search box at the top of the page will search for albums and photos in the gallery as well as blog posts.
• Lots more photos — We’ve added even more photos to the gallery.
• Rally DB Updates — The Rally DB has been updated and improved.  Is now a competitor listing feature, there are now delta/difference times on the stage analysis, as well as improved overall and class rankings.  We’ve got a whole slew of rally data that will be imported into the tool over the next week or two, so keep watching.
• Gear Ratio Calculator — Updated the UI a bit.  Working on a major update to the Gear Ratio Calculator which we think you’ll really like.
• Project Cars — We now have a list of project cars, which links to articles as well as photos of the various projects.  More to come!
• Calendar — You can now view and subscribe to our calendar
• Comments — Can now add comments to the blog posts, etc.  Feel free to let us know what you think.  If the comments get popular we may add a forum  to discuss gear ratio stuff, project builds, and rally stage times.

Stay tuned for a lot of catch-up posts on the Civic rally car and the vintage Honda’s!

Naturally, if you’d like to see anything improved or a new feature implemented please let us know!

We’ve posted the 2005 Race Schedule on the site. iCal and Mozilla users (and users of any program that supports iCal/.ics files) can also subscribe to the schedule and be kept abreast of any changes!

We’ve had a hard time finding a decent gear ratio calculator tool out there so we developed our own.

It’s got a lot of cool features, such as the ability to graph max
MPH per gear, side-by-side comparisons of configurations, and pre-loaded gear ratios for
popular transmissions.

You can find it at http://www.fatboyraceworks.com/gears/!
