Goodbye, Farewell, and Thank You!

It is hard to believe that about 15 years ago I had an idea for a website, registered the domain name PitRacer.com, and it is still here after all of these years with more traffic than ever. I started this website and was not even eligible to race the Vet classes at all and now I'm here creeping toward the +45 class.

There are a few that have been here since the beginning and I'm sure they can remember all the different changes that have happened and the myriad of users and personalities that have come and gone. I will forever have so many memories from over the years and can still picture in my head some of the funny nonsense that has gone on.

This website has gone through phases from a hand-coded Fantasy League system, to a full blown Ecommerce site selling photos, products, memberships. I'm proud of what I've done here and I hope I've helped out Ohio Motocross in my own little way.

As of today I am no longer the owner of this site and would like to say goodbye and thank you. To list all the people, tracks, and businesses that have helped and supported me and this website over the years would take forever, but you all know who you are. And to all of you - THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have met so many great people and have made so many good friends.

You will still find me around riding and racing. I'm excited to close this chapter and move on and I'm also excited that some new blood is involved and will bring fresh ideas and energy to PitRacer.com. I'll admit I've struggled the last few years to keep this going - I'm just plain worn out.

One of the things we discussed in the transfer was that I don't think I will ever be able to shake the nickname "Pit" and that is ok. I'm sure there are people out there that see me and call me that and don't even remember my real name.

As of today I'm going to start fading away from here, at least on this account name. I'm sure I'll be back at some point with a new name and just cause trouble but for now I'm going to lay back and relax a little. So I guess my pot-stirring points will have to stand where they are and I hope I can still win the 2013 title, haha.

To everyone reading this -- my life will never be the same and thank you again for all the memories. Please support the new ownership and keep enjoying the website!

I must say for the longest time I knew who you were but I didn't know your real name. At some point I looked at results and figured it out. lol I am sure I will be seeing you around but thank you for what you created. When I got back into riding this is how I knew what was going on and what tracks were open when. Since I found this site I have been a regular on here. Thanks again, see ya soon. BRRRAAAPPP!!!!
 
Thanks John for all you have done not only for Ohio Motocross but Motocross in general. You have brought many people together who otherwise might never have been. Best of luck in your future endeavors and thanks for the great memories this site has created.

"I call BS"

If its not BS, who is P2?

I think ive been here since damn near the beginning and remember all kinds of crazy stuff on here, some of which I may have participated in a time or two lol.

I dont think Ohio MX would be the same today if it werent for this addictive website.

I still call BS, but thanks anyways!
 
Joke or not, you started something great here. It's brought Ohio MX into the real world. Thanks for all your hard work. Also today is my official retirement date and that is no joke. I'm excited to start something new in my life as well. Hope to see all my Pitracer bro's at the tracks soon.
 
Like Obama's balanced budget plan, I'll believe it when I see it, and then I still won't believe it. Even Custer stayed til the very very end, and "he was a ***** and your not (love that line)"
 
I actually bought the site. Have some new ideas with Barrington on bored as well. Hoping to crush vitalmx in a few years!
 
Yep and john is selling all of his suzukis to ride yamahas with John 250 (the blues brothers), and I am picking up racquetball.
 
And Jason and Jeremy are quitting the OMA to form a local bowling league!

All kidding aside, if this is really true, we all appreciate everything you've done with this site! It has been a "'must read" site on a daily, if not hourly, basis for a long time in our house! Thanks for all the hard work and we'll see you at the races! :)
 
yeah yeah........April Fools! Well except the part about Pit selling the suzukis, and getting on a 2014 Yamaha. Now that I could believe. As for Pot Stirrer points, he just gained about 1000 more on the rest of us.
 
If whoever runs this site does need any development help I could be of some assistance :D Could put some of my 9 to 5 skills to use.
 
pot stirring point race has officially ended as of the release of Pit's (john Krepps right?) post... everyone else must step down from contention now. lol
really tho I never met face to face I have enjoyed your labor!

PS-john259 is now riding whatever bike Bubba 7 will be signing with... think I heard its in Bubba's contract that John gets a bike from his deal...
 
Cool.....I will ride anything that is Free and someone else is paying the bills. I am Easy.
