Don had a good thing going with that site and related materials.
In the early days the forum was remarkable.

Ive spoke with Don and wrote a couple articles for him. Always a real nice guy.

I have to wonder if he or his family put the site on “read only” with the data base message, just to keep it on hold so things didn’t get out of control until it could be managed again.

The horsepower chain book is availible in the scratch and dent section, I was able to add it to the cart.

Came here to look for any news about the site and just found this topic.
Very sad to hear. R.I.P.

I had sent an email through the forum to Don asking if he needed any help with the forum's database issues he seemed to have.
No reply unfortunatly.

I would really like to offer help ro keep that site keep up and running.

Thanks for that link. I just ordered the book, and it says I ordered it, but it never asked for my credit card info to pay for it. It did ask all my other info and my phone number. Maybe they will call for that.

Be got a bunch of those. I've listened to them for hours. There is a lot of good info in them. Some of it may be a bit dated, but they still have value. Every now and then, when I have a long drive, I pick out some I want to hear again and pop them in.

I also wrote a book he wrote and I liked it. Some stuff was redundant, but Don always told me if you learn one thing from something, it's worth the price.

I mostly agree with that.

I had a bunch of those CDs also, very interesting and can shorten a long drive. I loaned them out and I don't think I got them back.

Like mentioned some of it is probably dated by now but still interesting.
