The slew of upgrades to the website have been completed, and thankfully no major loss of data!

The update introduces some beefed up security in both Wordpress and PHPBB, better communication for the Plugin holding them together, and a proper integration of the iRacing Division site.

Now all users who register at MRG will be able to log in to the iRacing site with the same details, and vice versa. However around 15 users were lost from the iRacing site in the changeover, though a very simple reregistration will have everything back in place for them. (If you are one of these members, just re-register with your original username)

Also introduced in this update is a unique Wibiya toolbar, allowing you to find out even more information here at MRG. In this current iteration you can look at the RSS feed to the forums to keep up to date on new topics, use a handy “scroll to top” button, be notified of any happenings around the site with the “Site Notification” applet, and share anything you like to a variety of Social Media Networks.

The staff here at MRG hopes you enjoy these changes and encourages you to provide feedback in the forums!

Reinventing the Wheels - Running On E

I don’t know of anyone who gets involved in a sport like NASCAR because it pays good, or you travel a lot. I think everyone who works within it has got to be a little bit of a fan. Sure, we’re asked to put aside our loyalties when we work, but every Sunday during the season, I’m willing to bet nearly all of them put on their favorite driver’s hat… Continue Reading: Reinventing the Wheels - Running On E

Reinventing the Wheels - The Lady in Black

She has many nicknames, the old track built on farmland in the middle of South Carolina. “The Track Too Tough to Tame,” “The Lady in Black,” or just simply “Darlington.” As a child I remember the name being spoken with reverence, excitement, or wonder, and as I grew older and watched the many races that took place there, I had a fairly basic understanding as to why Darlington was such… Continue Reading: Reinventing the Wheels - The Lady in Black
