There's more about it on the Latest Site News page.Fri, 09 Jul 2010 22:02:10 GMThttp://www.champcarstats.com/news.htm#070410Happy Birthday! ChampCarStats.com turns six years old today. There's no new update today, I realize there hasn't been anything new in a while, but that's going to change soon. There's a brand new section that's going to be added in the next couple of weeks. If you're a fan of the early days of the sport you'll find this one interesting. Also I'm hoping one of the site's readers can help me with another project, finishing up the Atlantic Championship section. I've got full results for most of the races, but there are still a few seasons where I have some gaps. Specifically, there are races in 1980, 1986, 1987 and 1988 that I don't have full results for. If anyone out there does have full data for those years I can let you know exactly which races I need results for. Thanks for any help.Sun, 04 Jul 2010 18:53:01 GMThttp://www.champcarstats.com/news.htm#052410Something new today, I've added a Random Race page, similiar to the Random Driver page.

There won't be many year by year updates in the near future right now for a couple of reasons. First off the Indy Car, Indy Lights and Atlantic seasons are coming to an end soon, so getting the 2009 data online will take first priority.

Also, the points have been refigured for the 1936 season. The points system originally thought to have been introduced that year didn't actually take effect until 1937.Tue, 19 Feb 2008 17:14:13 GMThttp://www.champcarstats.com/news.htm#0214Slowly but surely moving forward in time, today's update covers races form 1917-1924.Fri, 15 Feb 2008 03:41:06 GMThttp://www.champcarstats.com/news.htm#0211Lots of miscellaneous tidbits tonight. Most of the work involves the 1910's, but the single biggest race update is the 1981 Pocono 500, where there were a bundle of inaccuracies in the chassis and engines, those have been fixed. As usual a bundle of non starters for various races have also been added.Tue, 12 Feb 2008 03:31:26 GMThttp://www.champcarstats.com/news.htm#0209More early stuff, the main item today is a revamp of the results from the third Galveston race in 1913. The original results I had were completely garbled. Bad news if you're a Billy Chandler fan, since he's now removed from the all time winners list, turns out Louis Disbrow was the actual winner. Also I found first names for a batch of drivers I didn't have one for. The flip side of that is that I've found some new entries that I only have last names for, so the net gain isn't that big in that regard, but it's progress I guess!Sat, 09 Feb 2008 05:25:06 GMThttp://www.champcarstats.com/news.htm#0203The main items today are a batch of listed hometowns and some additional NASCAR Speedway Division results. There are also a few miscellaneous tidbits as well.Sun, 03 Feb 2008 21:47:35 GMThttp://www.champcarstats.com/news.htm#0201The bulk of today's update focuses on 1909 and 1910. Also some biographical data today, as a batch of first names have been found, as well as two drivers who should have been combined into one and one who needed to be split into two.Fri, 01 Feb 2008 20:39:10 GMThttp://www.champcarstats.com/news.htm#0128Plenty of updates from 1905-1916 tonight. The biggest items are a correction to the 1909 Cactus Derby results and a correction to the 1909 San Francisco results. There are also a bundle of nonstarters added, as well as some chassis/engine info and a few typos/mistakes being corrected. The next update will cover more 1909 events, I've got updates yet to do for a dozen races that season.Tue, 29 Jan 2008 02:29:29 GMThttp://www.champcarstats.com/news.htm#0118This the very first post in the new RSS! Loads of data from the early years (1909-1922) have been added. There are a lot of nonstarters/nonqualifiers added, as well as other tidbits.Sat, 19 Jan 2008 00:10:58 GMT
