HELP! I'm lost on the new layout. At least on my mobile device. The three bars in the upper left that would usually in websites usually have the drop-down to navigate. Mine does nothing. My groups and friends are gone. Along with anyone or thing I followed.

Is there an accessible help page, so I can try and learn these things myself?

Everything seems to work now. Must have been an update in the site, needing to work out the bugs.

Is just me, or is it hard to keep up with all of the "social media"?

I don't post often to the accounts I have. I have them to just read what's going on in the world. Still many things slip through the cracks. I did join the NASCAR Fan Council, so instead of just ranting, my rants go to the people who I'm ranting about. I bet they are already sick of me. Ha!

Getting to know James Hylton was pretty easy for about anyone. It's even easier when you are the one that has to do the under car...

Not just you Dennis. Site hasn't worked well on mobile devices for some time - at least not on my iPad. Perhaps others with Microsoft Surface Pro or other tablets have had better luck. I've only been able to use the site with my laptop. So far, I've been able to use Firefox and Chrome browsers equally well.

=============================================================

I'm using an 7" RCA tablet with Chrome browser for my internet.

On this website, when I used the "Portrait" screen and "see the tablet screen in vertical position" you will see the "3 bars" on top left side and "3 square boxes" on top right side.

When I click on the "3 bars" and get the site map legend with "Home", "Activity", and so on.

 On this website, when I used the "Auto-rotate" screen or "see the tablet screen in horizontal position" you will not see "3 bars" but you will see the "RacersReunion" logo and "3 square boxes on top left side.  You will see "3 vertical dots on top right side.

When you click on " 3 vertical dots" on top right side, you will get the Chrome legend with "Desktop site" empty box. 

After you Click on "Desktop site" you see the whole "RacersReunion" website page except for the "3 bars on top left side".

My Kindle did the same when I turned it to portrait. But the screen isn't as big as a full sized tablet.

Mini Bike Raffle to Benefit Focus Motorsports Ministries




ARCA Fan Fest at Toledo Kicks off Thursday
TOLEDO OH (8-30-06) - As The Andersons ARCA Fan Fest, presented by Wolverine Boots and Shoes draws nearer, more and more activities are being added to the event. 

Country Joe Racing, which fields the ARCA RE/MAX Series stock cars for rookie driver Blake Bjorklund, is sponsoring a raffle to benefit Focus Motorsports Ministries. 

The Minnesota based Country Joe Racing team has donated a “Mini-Chopper” mini bike to serve as the top prize for the Focus Motorsports Ministry raffle.  

"We feel very strongly about the service Bill and Diana Krick provide to the ARCA community,” commented Dick Melius, Team Manager for Country Joe Racing. “The opportunity to help him in this effort is our pleasure.” 

Focus Motorsports Ministries has served the ARCA RE/MAX Series since 1996. In June 2002, the ministries primary sponsor (due to financial restraints) could no longer provide financial assistance to keep this ministry at the track, at which point Bill and Diana incorporated Focus Motorsports Ministries for the purpose of continuing to serve the ARCA community.  

“We sure appreciate the support of Mr. Joe Miller. Mr. Dick Melius and the entire Country Joe Racing team,” commented Bill Krick of Focus Motorsports Ministries. “We look forward to another great Fan Fest at Toledo Speedway.” 

Tickets for the raffle will be available all evening during the 2nd Annual All-ARCA Fan Fest, with the drawing scheduled to take place at around 8:00pm. The Andersons Fan fest runs from 5pm to 8pm on Thursday, August 31.

Note: Anyone listening or watching ?    It's easier to do this piece as an Timeline>>Feedback than as a discussion forum? In the discussion forum mode the words and photos would be flying to the right too much and you would only see 1/2 half of what you have posted?  I hope I can find the old way of using the discussion forum mode?

Yup, that's who I meant. But the other name was familiar, too.

DETROIT FREE PRESSTHURSDAY. MAY 1, 1980




He preaches over roar of engines

MARTINSVILLE, Va. - (UPI) - Folks at the Rev. Bill Baird's church aren't as likely to be in their Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes as they would their Sunday-go-to-racing jackets, filled with patches extolling the virtues of Darrell Waltrip or Richard Petty. The congregation won't be found sitting in wooden pews or singing from gilt-edged hymnals, either. If they sit at all, their perch may be a stack of tires or a tool box. And instead of a quiet, reverent atmosphere, Baird must put up with the rumbling, raucous roar of a 433-' cubic inch engine equipped with a four-barrel carburetor found in Baird if he'd be the drivers' full-time preacher. "The drivers put it together," recalled Baird. "They wanted their own church, their own preacher to be there at all the races, to visit them in the hospital, to perform their weddings and to do it seven days a week." Racing was different for the new minister, who was not a stock car fan. In fact, he had never actually been to a race. "It's a learning process and I don't know much about the cars. But I'm more concerned about the people, the drivers, than I am the race," he said. NASCAR's Grand National stock cars. "The most important thing is to make Christ the head of your racing team," Baird told a recent Sunday morning gathering at Martinsville Speedway. "Is He?" BAIRD IS the official pastor of a unique church the Chapel at the Tracks. His flock are the drivers who almost every Sunday from mid-January to mid-November climb into colorful, powerful cars and roar down straightaways and Into turns at speeds in excess of 100 m.p.h. It's been like this for three years, ever since Cale Yarborough asked

I may have gotten my story wrong. The ARCA chaplain name was Bill, but maybe not Baird. None the less, the Free Press story could have been about the Focus Motorsports Ministries. All of these traveling chaplin do equally a great service to whatever group they are aligned with.

Personal gut punches . . .

Perspective is an odd thing to really figure out for different people. Everyone's is different. Something that makes my jaw drop, o feel...
