For a few years I have provided free hosting and and spent tons of hours on the My Racing Bio site. A few months ago I decided I would no longer be able to justify all of the costs; heck I'm not even able to race this year due to my current work/life balance.

I have offered to carry forward the My Racing Bio site branded as a CCS product and to focus some more development time on the product simply in return for the future hosting costs that until this point I have been personally been paying for. That said, CCS has not shown any interest in picking up these costs. After a few un-returned emails the fact that I have not been sent any race results since my first email, I can only come to certain conclusions.

As a result, I will be closing down the My Racing Bio in the next 4 weeks or so. I apologize for the disappointment that this may create. While not everyone uses the site, I am amazed every month at the traffic numbers that the site gets for such a small group and zero publicity/marketing.

Damn.
I can understand your position, and I will miss the site.

Thanks for taking the effort to have it up there for us in the first place.

The time, effort, and money that you've put into the site has been much appreciated, and your decision to discontinue is also very understandable.  Thanks much and best wishes!
