As you can probably tell, we recently upgraded to a whole new design. Why? Well, because it's better and will allow us to expand a lot more.

To celebrate, we're going to hold a contest. The winner of this contest will win a prize from our site sponsor, AutoAnything. AutoAnything is one of America's largest and fastest growing online retailers of specialized automotive accessories. They've been in business since 1979.

Free Shipping!  No Minimum Purchase

The objective of the contest is to get the most points by the end of the contest. This contest will end on February 27, 2009. You receive points by being an active member of the community. 

Here is the point breakdown:

100 - Become an active member of the community registered after 1/9/09.

50 - Refer a new member to the site. The member must become an active part of the community.

15 - Upload a new video.

5 - Start a new thread in the forum. Must be relevant and informational, or represent your opinion on something. LIMIT OF 5 THREADS PER DAY!

3 - Post a relevant reply to a topic in the forum.

So what do you win? The person with the most points at the end of the contest will receive a Maxsa Garage Laser Park. Park on a dime every time and avoid costly collisions in your garage.

Let's keep the contest clean and fun! Cheaters will be disqualified from this, and all future contests put on by Car Club Union.

Hello and welcome to the new Car Club Union website. After multiple attempts at making this site happen, I'm happy to announce we are now LIVE! I have a lot to offer you with this website, with continuous updates on the way. The features implemented now are as follows: 

  • Forum - Here you can discuss cars, racing, or whatever you want with people who share a similar interest as you. Additionally, I have regional forums set-up so you can plan events with car clubs in your area, or simply get the word out about your event. I've also added marketplace forums so you can sell those old parts or put out a "looking for" ad to someone who might have what you want.

  • Videos - Upload your racing vids, or share a cool one you found on the internet. You can also rate and comment other people's videos. Additionally, your club can form its own video group so people know where that awesome video came from.

  • Directory - I added this to the site so that clubs can advertise what they are all about and recruit members. It includes every state in the union so that there is no trouble finding a car club near you.

  • Dashboard - This is my personal favorite of features on the site. The Car Club Dashboard allows you to manage your club over the internet. It offers the club members a private forum, private bulletin board, and a private event listing board. Additionally, club managers can e-mail all their members with ease. You really have to try it out and see for yourself!

  • Custom User Profiles - You can't have a social networking site without profiles. I've given everyone their personal profile with a showcase to show off their car and links to all their favorite videos. Additionally, the profile shows others what club affiliations you have.

Well there you have it. These are the launch features that Car Club Union has to offer you and your car club. Keep in mind I'll keep building and improving this site according to your feedback that I'll be gathering through the forum and e-mails. So please, register and enjoy the community! Check back soon for my first "Racer Spotlight" and "Club Spotlight"!
