April 11, 1991 the domain went on the air. <br></div><div dir="ltr">26 years ago, a quarter of a century. Hard to believe it has been that <br></div><div dir="ltr">long. In truth the foundation was laid some years before then, with <br></div><div dir="ltr">USENET rec.autos newsgroups evolving into what became the British cars <br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1491918753683_4698">and the Autox lists. Richard Welty, Dale Cook and Jim Muller are some <br></div><div dir="ltr">names from back than.<br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1491918753683_4703"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Somehow I got involved while I was working at the University of Utah. It <br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1491918753683_4704">got to the point where the British car and autocross email traffic <br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1491918753683_4705">hosted from my desktop machine at work became a very noticeable source <br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1491918753683_4706">of network traffic. The powers that be STRONGLY suggested that such was <br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1491918753683_4707">not official university business and should be discontinued. So I moved <br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1491918753683_4708">the lists to a server at my house. Back then it wasn't quite so simple <br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1491918753683_4709">and so cheap. I sent out a plea for funding and got a great response. <br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1491918753683_4710">Thanks to the U of U having a good relationship with Hewlett-Packard I <br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1491918753683_4711">was able to procure one of the first machines with over a 100 megahertz <br></div><div dir="ltr">CPU, a 20 megabyte hard drive and something like 8 megs of RAM. All for <br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1491918753683_4720">about a mere $2,500 dollars.<br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1491918753683_4721"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1491918753683_4722">Things have progressed since then.

Hard to believe that a scatterbrained <br></div><div dir="ltr">procrastinator like me has been behind the curtain for all these years, <br></div><div dir="ltr">keeping it going. Team.Net is not as active as it was some years ago. <br></div><div dir="ltr">The autocross list is basically dead now, but when I took the Killer <br></div><div dir="ltr">Spit to the SCCA Solo Nationals in 1997, over half the drivers there <br></div><div dir="ltr">were subscribers to the autocross list.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Back then there were not many choices.
