The new Redline Derby Racing

Just wanted to officially announce that the new Redline Derby Racing blog is up and running. This also means that the new season of the Fantasy League *is* right around the corner - and I mean it this time.

http://www.redlinederby.com

I'll be using this coming week to promote the crap out of the site and the league, and your help in doing so as well is greatly appreciated. The first tournament will open for entries on August 8 and the first results will get posted on August 15.

I hope to get back on the blog horse too, posting more how-to articles, reviews, and all the stuff that probably got a lot of you here in the first place.

All the web addresses should be final and working. If you find any problems with the blog, league, or here in the forum, please mail me, PM me, or post here.

Results and pages from the first season of the league can be found here.

Just visited the new page. It looks good. I'm excited about the new season and the new page.

Awesome 'projects' slideshow Brian! My favorite is the Talladega Flashdrive
Diecast Cars, Hot Wheels, Matchbox

How'd you make that? I've got to have one!

Thanks! I have that drive at work and use it all the time to transfer presentations and always get comments It's fun.

All the details are over at my own blog (non-Hot Wheels):

In follow up to that article, I gotta say the trick is finding a flash drive that's easy to get apart. I tried to make another car drive and broke the flash drive in the process. Gutting the car is actually the easy part, getting the USB drive apart without breaking it seems harder.

It looks like the flash drive would be in the way of the rear post. Did you just remove the post and use the flash drive to connect the chassis and body?

I started up a new thread for the USB drive discussion, just to keep things a little more organized. I replied over there:

Is that "Latest Activity" section new? I didn't notice it before. It was probably there
and I never seen it because if I was on that page, I would just log in and use one
of the links in the title bar.

No, that was always there in the first season. That was the only way players would know what cars were traded and thus available for their garage. I have yet to add such a feature to the new version, but it'll need to happen after a few races so people have an idea of what's going on around the league.
