VISITORS***
After messing with
this site for 2 1/2 years, I've really just lost my
motivation for updating it and adding new stuff. I'll
still try to update it every once in awhile, but for the
latest news on Jeff Gordon and the Rainbow Warriors,
check out Jeff Gordon Online at www.gordonline.com, Tina's Jeff Gordon Fan Page, The
Official Jeff Gordon Website, NASCAR Online, That's
Racin' or Speedworld. I probably won't add any new pics, or
features or anything, but will try to update the stats
every month or so. If this is your first time here,
there's still quite a bit of old stuff to look at.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by. Go ahead and sign the
guestbook and e-mail me with any Gordon-related questions
or comments and I'll get back to you. 24 in 99!
