I developed this web site for Diesel racers, their fans and the performance companies that serve the Diesel racing community. The site is for you. As for the sport, I'm looking to you all to learn more! I've got a ton of expertise and experience in many things, but Diesel racing isn't one of them, YET! But it is an EXCITING sport with some awesome machines. I'll look forward to seeing your pictures and videos on your own pages.

I'm thinking of including an area on your main page for your racing stats... any ideas on format would be welcome. I'm currently thinking of someting like "VENUE DATE EVENT CLASS TIME", and you could add a "running" list... would that work??? Use the message system (on the left "Send a Message to emcom1" to give me feedback.

Are their other things that you'd like to have? Let me know. If it is something with "universal" appeal, I'll work it into the site.

You'll note that my photo gallery is not about Diesel truckin'. Sorry, no experience yet. What you mostly see though, is the back yard that I created out of a long, narrow steeply sloping hill. Kinda like being at a tropical resort, and (because we did EVERYTHING) cost us less than the cost of a cruise for two ($3000). In the spring, summer and fall, it is my office. I use the wi-fi laptop and sit at the cantina bar.

Those beautiful gals you see in the gallery are not related... dang!!!! They are from a photo shoot by renowned photographer Toria Tyler that was done in the yard. THAT was FUN!!

I'm a system designer/developer that has worked on some of the world's most technologically advanced systems. I've also had the opportunity to criss-cross the world many, many times, having visited many countries.

02/05/2007 2:02 PM Scouting Report Released... Awaiting Member Data... The new ActionDiesel Scouting Report application has been released and is currently in 'beta' mode (still testing, tweaking) on the ActionDiesel website. The Scouting Report is a Search and Reporting mechanism designed to get manufacturers, distributors, vendors and media together with Diesel Truck competitors. Those searching for whatever reason (i.e. to sponsor a competitor in their area, for advertising or marketing purposes, for news or magazine articles, etc.) can specify the type of competition, the geographic area in which they are searching, the number of competitions (must be at least 1), the manufacturer and type of performance products the competitor uses and the venues in which the competitor will be competing in the near future. In order to judge interest levels/professionalism, etc., they can also specify that resultant competitors have web pages with photos, videos, blogs, etc. The resulting listing is sorted and ranked by a number of criteria (i.e. the number of previous competitions, matching performance products, recency of web page photos/videos and/or blogs, etc. The searcher can then click on the listed competitors to either go to their web site, or to view a Printable Scouting Report built from the member's submitted data. They can then use these Scouting Reports for comparisons, and as cues at race venues of competitors they may wish to watch or meet. Media personnel can use these as 'backgrounders' for potential news or magazine articles. In order for a member's Scouting Report to be complete, they must have added the required information to various fields in their ActionDiesel.com web site set-up. The requirements for this are listed in a linked page from the Scouting Report Search Page itself, and from within each ActionDiesel.com member's Control Panel (Under the update content application.) Another module associated with the new Scouting Report will also be added to the system soon. This module will automatically (based on member's preferences) create (and potentially send) Press Releases for hometown media (radio, TV, newspapers) for events in which the member will be participating. The Scouting Report will remain in "beta test" mode until sufficient ActionDiesel.com members have added the required data to their websites, and several manufacturers/media outlets that are waiting for this application have tested it to insure it operates as fully as intended. To see a sample of a 'real' Scouting Report from one member (data incomplete) click HERE. Competitor members can now also view what their own Printable Scouting Report looks like from within their Control Panel (in the Updates section). 0 Comment(s)   [View all blog entries]
