www.norcalthirdgen.com is alive and ready for design -- I'd like to hear some ideas for content. Lets try to stay away from anything TGO does for us already.

• GTG Event details
• Event Registration
• Decal ordering
• Member profiles
• Pics
• Timeslips
• Videos

. . . just a few ideas.

 

sounds good to me

 

this is a great idea, glad you could do this for everyone.

 

sound like we got somthing going here for the norcal cars!!! alot of pictures would be good cause everyone likes to look at pictures. i know i do!!!

 

I was just waiting for permission to use a few pics. Now I have it -- so check it out, let me know.

Basic functionality should be there . . . no additional pages except for the Thirdgen of the Day right now.

Wow, the website is looking sweet so far. The layout and pics looks great too.

 

awesome, the layout is great. Glad we could get a nice website like this up for info, pics and what not.

nice, guess I need to get some nice burnout pics of my car

 

man!!! it looks great.. ill try to get some pic of my camaro. so far so good....:lala:

 

I can't even see it!It says it's being worked on or something.It's like a military search.

 

hmmm . . . I just asked a friend in Indiana to check it and its available to him, so maybe its just a technical glitch with your ISP. Try again later on today.

On another note I just got an image rotator working on the home page. Hit refresh a few times and check out some of the new pics.

 

Should get some pictures of the rides with there drivers too.

 

yeah -- good idea. Having said that anyone who has nice pics can save me time and just email them to me.

any update on those vids ?

 

For some reason my movie maker isn't coming up on the computer so it will tale a couple more days.I'll edit them and try to email them to you.They may be to big.I got all but one of your runs.

 

Hey it's working now! Looks great.I'll get some video to you soon.Alex,is thewre somewhere I can host the videos and pics if they're too big to send?Also I'll get the decals hopefully really soon.

 

Hey adambros what kind of pictures are you looking for. do you want what B]87tpi[/B] said??? Let me know and i will start to send you some pictures of my car and my uncles car. this is my email. ramair21@hotmail.com.. i really want to help get this thing started so i can bragg to all my friends.hehhehe

 

Sure there is, all the space we need, and if we run out I'll throw another 80GB drive at the problem.
I dont mind giving you 'the keys' to a server however, my policy is I dont email them -- too unsecure as there is sensitive info on all our servers.
Call me when you are ready to set up FTP access and I'll set you up with a private folder. I sent you a PM with my info.

 

It's always good when people want to help

Eventually, I'd like to see every car pictured on the site -- maybe with the exception of a few -- be local rides owned by members.

The one I haven't found that I want (my first thought for the upper left header graphic) was one of us corner carvin a nice shady wooded road. Motion blur on the background . . . . nice.

But any and all pics can be emailed. I can tell you right now I plan to give everyone fair rotation for Thirdgen of the Day. But I will be a little more picky with the homepage / page header graphics.

 

if Im lucky my car will be right by this weekend and I'll get some pic's

I'm going to get a cable for my cam so I'll be heading to Eric's to download some video too

 

Ok Alex,I'll start on them tonight and give you a call when they're finished.I will edit down Travis's 13.7 and everyone else who ran also.

 

sweet man, good job on getting this together.

 

No need to email -- I've created a simple file uploader here . I will check the directory nightly, but send me a PM or email so I know where it came from and who to give the credit too.

Max file size is 1MB.

 

Here are a couple of ideas.I think it would be cool to have a toy run for the holidays,next year of course.We could talk to maybe Steve Spohn or Bruce Hawkins about sponsering it.We could raffle off a free track day or a gift certificate from spohn or hawks.We could talk to radio stations about advertising for any kind of car enthusiast to participate,classic,muscle,cough,sport compact.Have a bbq somewhere,maybe a band.It would be a good way to get the Norcalthirdgen name out there.What do you think?Also we could have a family great america day.They have a park we could rent for a picnic.

 

sites coming togather nicely I like how the gallery is set up

 

Hey Alex,I have some other track vids from a month or so ago when Del,Terrel,Travis,and I met up at the track.I'll call you for the server info so I can get those posted.Those ones are ready and the new ones are almost ready.

 

woo cant wait for it to be finished.

 

im great with photoshop..

 

site is looking AWESOME!!! great work. :hail:

 

guess I forgot to get your permssion to use your car pics as my guinea pig -- hope ya don't mind.

Pics anyone ? upload em here . . . http://www.norcalthirdgen.com/upload/imageUpload.php
Max 1MB

 

dont worry bout it....pictures are just pictures in my book.

 

the pic of the engine bay.. ya thats mine i uploaded..

 

man where have i been the last 2 weeks haha i leave for a little and i miss a website being built and a hudge meeting

i fire my self jk anyway looks good so far...

 

Ok,just an update.The video will be ready soon.

 

Well video is finished.Alex,I'll call you tomorrow.

 

The video is a little over 100 mb and is about 9 1/2 minutes long.Will it fit?

 

Its not likely anyone will want to sit there and wait for the entire 9.5 mins to download from the internet, especially dial-up users.

Once I get the video I can slice, dice and do some editing. The problem is 100 MB vid would take hours for you to upload it . . . can you burn a CD and snail mail it ?

 

Yeah,it is all edited down to just the thirdgens.I can get it out soon.

 

I'll give a try and compress the video with a newer codec -- should yield some better file size and better end quality.

You can send the CD to me at the address on the site.

 

ok.

 

im still not seeing the videos! i want to see videos!

 

the vid has been posted HERE

Right now it is one big file to download (~110MB, sorry dial-up guys) - In the next few days I will be working on breaking the video up into the individual runs, recompressing the footage and eventually placing all the appropriate links in the Gallery area.

Thanks again to steve, and all you guys for being patient.

 

Sure,I've been really busy with kids and work.Not a whole lot of time to work on the video.Hey, how many days is borla's z 28 going to be thirdgen of the day?Lets get some other cars in there,no offense borla:hail:

 

yeah, the thirdgen of the day / week is something I still have to build out completely. Its all in the works guys . . . I do have a real job too

on another note -- I started putting together an online app for submitting time(slips). I'd like to get some feedback on this. Am I missing something ovbious ? What are all the different trim options (Formy, Trans Am, GTA, Berlinetta, Iroc-Z, R/S)

anyhoo feel free to play with it here . . . next step will be adding more functionality and linking it up with the "Timeslips" area of the gallery page.

 

Didn't mean to offend you Alex,I was just wondering.I also just meant to say that with a five year old and a 6 month old and my wife yelling at me and work, it's kinda hard to edit a video and everybody here was asking about it.Nice job on the site,it's comin along great.You can add firehwak,z28,firebird.

 

I submitted my suck *** 14.9 run

 

dude i agree...how many days am i gunna be up there...LOL

time for a new one, well whenever ya got time...id like to see a trans am up on there..

 

thats not your car.

until you prove me wrong in person that is

 

MY GUT....LOL

 

Alex,I also sent you the videos from a little track day we had in september.They're on the same disk as the november gtg.

 

fuggetabout it. No offense taken

ok, so borlas car is coming down today. What replaces it is anyones guess as I don't think I have 4 detail pics of anyone else's car. Here's what im looking for picture wise.

one overall shot, front 3/4 or something
one closeup of eng bay, wheel, body work or some custom work you've done
one interior shot
one shot of the car at home, on the dyno, at the strip, on the road, nice scenic pic, whatever. Just another view.

Steve, I only saw the one 110 vid, and then the "My Videos" or something shortcut -- I'll look again at the office.
