Who's next?

[Seldom Seen Slim]

I've finally come to the conclusion that it's time for me to let landracing.com move on.  I can't do a proper job of running it.  Anyone interested in picking up the mantle and carrying it forward?  If I don't get a replacement I'll probably just let it go dark.  I've had enough, I'm tired, and my health is deteriorating such that -- as I drove back from WoS a few months ago I had the bittersweet feeling that I wouldn't return. 

PM me if you're in interested in taking over, okay?

PS:  I have some moral reservations about whom I'll choose to get it.  To summarise those:  Trumpers need not apply.

[racergeo]

Wow, low blow.

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Low blow about trump?  Not a bit.  Any supporter of him isn't worthy of smelling my dirty socks, much less running this site.  I've kept the site as clear of politics as I could for 17 years - but no longer.  I can't stomach those jerks that think he's a human.

So now you think it's a good time to engage in politics?

[SPARKY]

Slim  what wonderful Pontificating from someone who has grounds for such moral high authority 

sorry to hear about the health problems

what Jon Amo started and you carried on will be sorely missed

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Thanks, Bill.  I appreciate your comments.

Did this work?

Well, now it did.  I'll try again --- first time it didn't take.

It's no surprise that you're giving up the ghost with the site.  We all know that you and Nancy have tucked away a bundle.

I'm a daily reader and would take it over if only I could learn how to make it work.  (I've had a cell phone for several years now and haven't made a call yet.)

Lots of others, I hope, will step up and fight to keep it going. Probably anyone under the age of 80 can easily cash in.

But your best talents will surely not be beat.  It's easy to know that no one alive can match the superb broadcasting that you did at SpeedWeek.  Accurate and fun, too.  And mastery of information and enjoyable listening.

And the art of Shit House Positioning will be hard for someone to find shitty shoes like you did.

Best of luck and health to you and Nancy.  Don't be afraid to tell someone to go phuck themself -- that's the norm up high today.

Jon you truly have done a great job on running the site and I wish you the best of luck with your health issues. You have always been a pleasure to work with.

I was about to offer my help but it seems i'm not worthy. Take care.

Here's wishing you a slow and painful death...Non -Trumper eh?. Take your head out  old man. Jerry .

Jon, I'm trying to recall when you took over Landracing, it had to be about 20 years ago, I believe you were doing Salt Talks to support the site well before acquiring it. 
It would be sad to see Landracing go away, I'm hoping someone steps up.   

Thanks for all that you have contributed, Don

Jon,

Thanks for all you have done to promote Land Speed Racing. This site has been the premier site for anyone who might be interested in this motor sport.
You have always done your best to keep the advertiser's down to products which we would benefit from. And I always appreciated that. I hope someone comes forward, with the qualities you are looking for, so this site can continue to be used by thousands and thousands of people who love Land speed Racing. There are way too many years of valuable information contained here to be thrown away. 

Thank you again,

Tom G.

Jon, thank you for all your hard work on this website -- and, more broadly, all you have done for racers and their friends and families for many years.  I have learned a lot and experienced a lot of enjoyment as a result of your efforts.

Here's hoping that someone will soon take over the duties of hosting here, because I believe that this forum is important, useful, beneficial, and valuable. 

I wish for improvement in your health and vigor, and am reluctant to encourage any unfriendly words among our (historically) friendly land speed racing community.

I would like to second what tallguy wrote above.

It will certainly be a sad loss if this forum goes away, it has contributed so much to so many over the years, including some of my crew & a lot of good friends. I have no talent or time to take on such a task, my time is consumed by trying to afford my big long pile of parts that shouldn't really exist on a pauper's income.
