slngsht Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 One more thing... to address locostV8's post. We need to think about technical sections. I can see the need for building and fabrication, drivetrain, chassis & suspension, and brand specific sections. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slngsht Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 The Elise guys have their web site set up this way: http://www.elisetalk.com/forums/index.php Overall, the whole site is very well organized. That's very similar to the way corvetteforum is setup. The challenge we face is that our cars are very diverse... anything from custom built jobs (LOCOST), to defunct brands (like Rotus) to the traditional Sevens (Lotus, Caterham and the others). There is a wide variety of designs, drivetrain, etc... Elise or Corvette or most of the other guys don't have such diversity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al N. Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 Although I started this thread, Mazda and I have since agreed to mostly split responsibilities (me on 777, he on US Club...those day jobs sure get in the way!), but I wanted to chime in. I just wanted to say that I think the dialog that's happening between the East and West right now is really inspiring and motivational (which I need cause I'm having a shite work week/month). Whatever transpires, count me in to be the semi-official scribe for the East (as Clark is for the West) as well as being the semi-official liaison to the UK Club and even the Cat factory if you want (as I already have open lines of communication with both of those entitiies). Perhaps, some time in the next few years, East will meet West in a national meet over 100 cars strong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locostv8 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 My .02 would be a single Chat forum and possibly a link to http://locostusa.com/forums/index.php for tech. I like how Club Cobra has a forum for clubs and then within that the individual clubs for club and area specific items. Just a thought. I would bet as it became more indicated that they would add make specific forums. This would allow the culb to focus more on socal/chat/events and Locostusa on the technical.

powderbrake Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I believe that brand specific sections are needed to allow specific questions like " where do I get a Master brake cylinder for a Caterham ( or Lotus or Birkin)" This will allow specific questions on items unique to a particular brand, without having to search the Tech Section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 All, a quick update. We have finally filed all the necessary paperwork for the corporation and what's required to get a nonprofit status. I haven't posted much lately, because dealing with IRS and the state goes at a very un-LSiS like pace. There are a few more steps before the club can be officially "open". Thanks for everyone's patience and suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
