WERE BACK!!!

[Mach 1 Club]

You have absolutely no idea how the last month has affected me not having Mach1Club around!!! There was absolutely not 1 thing we could do to come back any sooner!! Every single day has been a frustration not knowing what was going to happen or not. There was a huge possibility that Mach1Club.com was going to be gone for good. I just could not find it in myself to recreate this site from scratch if we had lost everything! We had basically 6 hard drives fail at the exact same time, so not only was all the data gone but so was the backups of that data, it was an absolute fluke this happened, in 15 years running websites this has never happened. All of the hard drive had to be taken completely apart and sent to Chicago to a data recovery company who spent the last 2 weeks painstakingly recovering sector after sector of data. The process was VEEEERYYYYY long!
This will never happen again, I will be personally downloading the entire website onto my computer weekly if not daily. Definitely a lesson learned!!!!

If you come across any issues with regard to your account please make me aware of it!

Obviously there have been some costs involved for us getting the site back online again. Our hosting company went above and beyond what they were required to do to help us get our sites back. The cost involved is in the 10's of thousands of dollars. Personally between Jason and myself we are out of pocket about 5000 bucks. If anyone wants to help us out, we would greatly appreciate it, it is NOT required in anyway, but if you've missed this site then helping us out would be appreciated. We have lost NO data up to the point that we went down.

I just sent Tim in Florida an email asking what happened to the site. I was trying to post pics of my Mach1 and her progress and you guys vanished. Suggestion would be to have an emergency email system to let us know that something is up! Glad you are back as I am getting ready for the reassembly of my car and look to all the folks on this list for advice and wisdom. DAMN I am glad your back!

I would suggest you add my 800 number to your Rolodex in case anything happens. I highly doubt anything like what we had happen will ever happen again.
Glad your happy we are back!

I was wondering what happened. I didn't know if it was the site or my computer. Now I know. Good to have it back.

Hey Joe Glad to see you and the club back. I was beginning to think the Mach1 club might have gone to that great .com in the sky. I've said it before. I appreciate your efforts, and all you do for us and the club. I definetly believe this goes way above, and beyond the call of duty. Kuddos to you! You're a great guy and just proved it to one and all! JTS 71 Mach1
