Looks like I'm a victim of SQL Injection attack.  Someone got access to the crew database and added a bunch of references to a website.  The bad thing is it overwrote data in many instances.  One of the fields that got attacked was the one that stores email addresses (don't worry, they weren't stolen, just modified).  I'm busy stripping out all the bogus SCRIPT references but some email addresses have definitely be truncated (shortened) and rendered useless.  It's too early to tell but it could be that ten years of this labor of love could have just gone up in smoke.  I am so pissed that if I could somehoe find the low-life son of a bitch that did this, I could shoot him between the eyes and sleep like a baby.

The database is off line for I don't know how long...

The BBS is fine.

I'm not a smart as the other fellers, don't know what "monetary incursion to recover" is, but I'd be glad to send you some money if it will help.

Just saw this thread. Had been gone since early Saturday morning, racing at El Mirage. Very sorry to hear your database was hacked. Count me in if a donation to the "Ships Kitty" is needed to cover repairs.

Money is not an issue shipmates - but thanks for the gesture!!  Please don't send anything - heck, I'm a double-dipper as of six months ago so as long as I stay employed, I'm setting pretty well

I have most of the data recovered with the biggest loss being some email addresses being truncated (shortened) by the malicious code.  I'm keeping the database off line until I can ramp up security - one of my hockey teammates is a security guy who is helping me with that as he's up to speed on the latest attacks.

I hope to be back online by the end of the month - stay tuned.

Our '38 Coupe was still at home in the shop. Almost all back together (new head, new cam, suspension changes and more) but it will be ready for Bonneville in 3 weeks. The goal is 160 on the 3 mile course. We want to put the record out of reach. We will have the car back at El Mirage in Sept to run the 1.3 mile course with a lower geared rearend. Goal there is 150.

Our club had 8 vehicles running at El Mirage last weekend (4 cars and 4 motorcycles) and I had Patrol Duty on Sunday. It was very HOT but we all had a great time.

In June we had a pretty bad MC crash at El Mirage. (not one of the Road Runners) I don't think I sent you the pictures. I will mail them to you in a separate e-mail. As bad as the crash looked, he only had some minor bleeding in the brain, some cuts and bruises and 2 or 3 cracked vertebrea. He will be in a neck brace for 6 to 8 weeks and is off work for a while but all things considered, he was a very lucky fellow.
