Schedule Update April 4

The 2008 Racing Schedule is essentially complete (a couple of tracks still haven't finalized their schedules).
Once again, this is a combined schedule (lists what's happening on any given day) with links to the tracks, weather, etc.
There are about 70 racing series and tracks, with about 2200 entries.



Canadian Motorsports Expo March 1

The 2nd Canadian Motorsports Expo took place Friday February 29 - Sunday March 2, 2008. Featured were many race cars, vendors, presentations (with autograph sessions) and seminars. For more info, please see Canadian Motorsports Expo . I shot about 400 photos over the day, which can be viewed here.



Server Upgrade for racepulse.com February 29 2008

We have made a significant change to this site.

www.racepulse.com now resides on 2 new mirrored servers, which means that if one of them is down, the other will automatically take over. Thanks to Peter Hircock for his help (if you need a UNIX consultant, please email us - we will put you in touch with him). The bottom line - www.racepulse.com should always be available.

We're a little backlogged now - we should have the latest press releases updated asap, as well as a long list of new racing links. Also, we are converting our email and have a large backlog there as well. Please be patient if you have emailed us and haven't got a response lately. We will get back to you as soon as possible. -thanks.
