Just a hunch that the long number is a tracking number of some sort. I had the big number too, but the last digits are different than yours.

Why pay for a site where half the stuff is made up when you can just read any other Champ Car message board and hear the same rumors? It's no secret that AR1 takes things from other sites and posts them as rumors on their own. No thanks. :thumdown: (Speaking as a CCWS fan, not as site admin, btw)

My problem with AR1 isn't so much the outrageous rumors, but his constant pushing of his agenda as fact. A news article comes up about a NASCAR driver breaking a rib in a testing accident and suddenly the article says that it is why Champ Car shouldn't race on ovals, etc. :rolleyes:

What's sad is that apparently PG and KK think he represents a large portion of the fanbase. If KK was smart he'd push Mark out the door of his jet during his next transatlantic flight.

Bah! "AutoRacing1" offered to let Champcar give a deal to their CCIC members. It doesn't necessarily mean they endorse him as representative of the fan base. If that were the case why bother with the survey, I'm sure AR1 could answer all those questions for them.

AR1 has had a banner ad on the Champ Car front page for some time now. It would be easy for them to deny him.

I've had Mark steal my posts word for word and post them on his site. And, we all know, I don't know diddly poo.

That said, this is a great tool for ChampCar. What they're really doing is building a database of their fans. It will help them market to us, which I don't think is a bad thing at all.

For the people having problems, have you tried signing up with an email address from a different provider (like myway.com or gmail.com)? Unfortunately the rocket surgeons who did the email confirmations used return addresses for the messages that are not legal according to the rules for email addresses. Some ISP's may simply throw them away as illegal, others might can them as spam.
