    Am I blind? My mom told this would happen, but when I didn't grow hair on my palms I figured I was in the clear. Where is the "search" function? I am a lurker, and just like to do anonymous research for the most part. The GRM website has a search box at the top of the page... thanks, R

    This is one of those good news / bad news questions.

    Bad news: The search function on the current Classic Motorsports site is hopelessly broken.

    Good news: The new Classic Motorsports site is well on it's way to you. The heavy lifting of creating new page code and features is about 60% done, and I am very eager to get it in place and available to our users in late summer or fall.

    In the meantime, here's a pretty good work-around.

    From Google, enter whatever word you're searching for followed by the words "site:classicmotorsports.net". So if you're looking for say...all the BMW stuff, enter

    "BMW site:classicmotorsports.net"

    and you'll find a bunch of good stuff. You can narrow it down further, but by including the site:classicmotorsports.net at the end all of your results will be from the Classic website.

    Hope that helps, thank you for your patience while we get through this awkward growth phase.

    Thanks for the work-around Tom, it does the job. Russel

    Hmm, better a work-around than a reach-around?

    Tom,

    Don't sell yourselves short. I believe you are doing a great job! The proof of the pudding is the growing interest which causes your challenges.
