Offcamber approaches first anniversary!

[Turn7]

On 12-20-2002, our friend Wickerbill, took it upon himself to create a place for wayward Champ Car fans to fellowship.

With the Holidays approaching, I didn't want this date to go by and it slip my mind to take a second to say thanks.

So, THANKS for all the work and dedication WB.

Regards,

Greg

^^ What he said. ^^ :thumbup:

[RichK]

The OC is a great place, my first stop every morning. Thanks WB.

[mapguy]

God bless WickerBill. And pass the ammunition. :thumbup:

[cart7]

I really consider this my home forum now. Thanks WB. :thumbup:

[Don Quixote]

This place is the bomb! Thanks WickerBill. Now everybody, a big group hug! :)

[Lizzerd]

Being one of the (almost) charter members here, I say "Thanks, Boss!!!" :thumbup:

[lone_groover]

Big THANKS to Wicca Bill for using his Laguna moderating powers for good rather than evil.

:thumbup::cool: :thumbup:

[EDwardo]

Thanks Boss for a place where CART fans can feel at home.

(Even if you are fan of the worthless, pathetic Nags, er, Broncos!);)

[RaceGrrl]

Thanks WickerBill. You're the best. :thumbup:

[Ratattack]

Thankyou for a place to come and speak our mind.. WickerBill you Rock..:cool:

[Railbird]

Thanks WB

I appreciate the effort

[Cam]

WB :thumbup:

[racer2c]

A truely sincere thank you for providing OC WB. I love this place! :thumbup:

[JoeBob]

I remember the conversations we had before OC opened, wondering if a champ car forum could be successful as a standalone forum. I don't think there is any question now.

OC isn't only the best CART forum, its the best all around racing forum. We might not be the biggest, but we're certainly the best.

Congrats, WB!

Many thanks to WB for providing such a great place to discuss CART, racing or just anything. It's that steady, even hand that keeps the discussions on track and the trolls at bay.

Very nice site.The best message board by far. Met alot of good people and look forward to a New Year.

Ziggy

[WickerBill]

Thank you.

And thank you for posting here, and being *the* most important part of the site. Yes, I set it up and basically facilitate, but the people who post are the ones who should be commended. So, thanks. The site is a success because of you too... not just me. In fact, mostly you.

[Hot Rod Otis]

:thumbup: Thanx WB :thumbup:

[fourrunner]

I'm sorry I wasn't in those early discussions.... But better later than never... if I'd known the "truth" back then, It would have been fun to help... but we all have our "clueless" periods in life!

Nice to have a place to go where the "Laguna Sensibilties" are still alive!

Happy Anniversary!

:thumbup: :thumbup:

[anait]

:thumbup: from me, too. :cool: I look forward to many more OC anniversaries.

[DjDrOmusic]

Thankyou WB and to those of you who were here when it was really needed!:) :thumbup:

[Audi_A4]

Thanks WB

[RTKar]

Absolutely, Thanks so much for this island.

[nissan gtp]

thanks to WB and happy holidays !

OC is one of the few oasis in a sea of racing forum ****.

[mello]

Yes thank you to all who were invovled. Out of all the people I have met over the years from the forums,, this is the one that makes me keep going back.

[KobySon]

thanks bro!

[WickerBill]

I would also be remiss not to mention those who have helped financially in the creation and ongoing maintenance of this site. I can't name everyone (since many have donated anonymously), but believe me, I appreciate it.

The site, BTW, is ready for another season... let's hope our series is.

WB

[rocket]

:thumbup: Nice work.

[doppelganger]

Thanks WickerBill. This place is the best, as are you.

[mclark2112]

Congrats WickerBill! Happy almost one year anniversary! This sight is definitely one of the most informative and interesting CART sights on the net. Keep the faith, we still have many years of Champ Car Racing in the future. :)

[Robstar]

What everyone else said...
Cheers WB !
:thumbup: :thumbup:

[Classic Apex]

Thanks for everything, WB.

:thumbup:

:cool:

[RARules]

Thanks! OC is a great site. Low volume but quality. It's sort of like listening to "Talk of the Nation" on NPR instead of "Rush". Much better considered opinions and much less vitriol.

Thanks to all for making this the first forum I always visit to satisfy my Champ Car jones.

Now, if they only interviewed Rush on TOTN, now that would be some good radio! ;)

I didn't think TOTN did farce. :p

[chop456]

How about a Lisa Mullins/Terri Gross vs. Gene Simmons/Rush Limbaugh cage match? :D

[RacinM3]

Congrats to OC and WB, and to everyone who takes part in this forum and keeps it, for the most part, self-moderated. A rarity these days.:thumbup:

[sadams]

Yup, a big :thumbup: from me as well WB.

[Dirty Sanchez]

Happy birthday OC. Lets party!

Thanks for offering a great site. Some of the names on this board almost make it seem like the old days elsewhere! Merry Christmas!

Happy anniversary OC, and Happy Holidays to everyone.

Many thanks to WB, JB, and everybody else who makes OC possible.

Indeed.

WB :thumbup:

[Kahauna Dreamer]

Thanks again for the invitation and congrats on your first year anniversary.
Due to the nature of what I do visually elsewhere, I will always be "outside looking in" around here, but that's on me. You guys and gals rock!

[Hard Driver]

:thumbup: Thanks for the efforts WB. :thumbup:

[Kiwifan]

Glad you found your way here 'Driver. WB runs a great place. ;)

Rusty.
