Here you go fellas. It's not 100%, but it should work for the most part.

Once I'm done, it will be the new default layout.

i like it
yeah same as mikey said, now that i clicked the new layout is all that i see now..........pretty kool though
Nice new look!
If you wanna go back to the old look, go all the way to the bottom of the page and you'll see a drop down box. Pick "Chitown R/C Light" and you'll convert back.

Of course!

Besides, it's the only picture I had that looked nice enough for the job and that wouldn't cause any type of copyright problems.
Looks great. I like the new style
There is no button for the home page on the new style.
Or are you eliminating the home page?
Haven't put it in yet. If you click on the logo, it'll take you to the home page though.
Sweet!! Nice job there Tune!!
cooooooooooooooooooooooool
Cool! You said it would be the default layout...But will this current one be in a drop down box somewhere? j/c.
will the pictuer at the top change? that'd be cool, liek if it scrolled through pictures of everybody's cars/trucks.
looks good Tune....

You can always switch back to the original layout in the bottom left corner.
Looks fine but why the change?
satoch, This new layout is a bit lighter on the graphics. That means a little faster loading and less bandwidth usage. I did a quick test on 2 identical pages on the site and the new one was about 50KB smaller. Doesn't seem like much, but after 80k+ pageviews per month and it adds up.

north shore racer, that plan is to have more than just a picture of my truck Smile. I was planning on having about 5-6 different pictures for the logo that would come up randomly just like the readers rides pics on the home page.

I haven't decided if I'm going to keep the old style around yet. Depends on whether I want to spend to the money to have it updated so it will work with the new software.

Sounds like it's time to mention the "Donate" button on the home page.....again.

What about pictures from races or pit shots? Would keep it fresh every week or month.

Otherwise I like it. Little different,colors are nice too.
