Website PR Report
Copper Hill, VA(December 9, 2011) — If you’re reading this story, you might have noticed a little change to RACE22.com … well maybe a big change.
We’ve officially stepped up our program here at RACE22.com, with this new change, we’ve surpassed all our competition by using the latest technology available and some of the best software on the internet to give you the best possible website viewing experience according to webmaster, Langley Austin.
“We’ve been working on this new website for a long time,” said Austin. “We’ve struggled through the last year with our anequated program for updating the old RACE22.com. You couldn’t tell from visiting the website, but our software made it nearly impossible for us to deliver content the way we wanted to for our readers.”
Austin expects the new website to help RACE22.com become not only the best website in short track racing, which we believe it already was, but it will take it to a whole new level.
“None of the websites for short track racing previous to this upgrade for us could deliver content nearly instantly,” continued Austin. “When we first launched RACE22.com in it’s old form back in 2007, we didn’t know what to expect from our growth, but soon we realized we were fighting an uphill battle due to what our website software lacked. Today, we have what we think will be the tools needed to take coverage of short track racing to an all new level.”
RACE22.com’s new layout still includes our most popular sections from Late Model Stock Cars and Limited Late Models to Super Late Models and more. We’ve also added home page sections for some of our most popular features such as our Photo Galleries, Video Highlights and Interviews, Power Rankings, Opinions and Live Coverage.
We’ve also added a couple of new features that we think you’ll be excited about and will help add more content to our website. First we added a Press Releases section, that will feature track and series press releases as they’re released. We haven’t ran press releases much in the past because we felt they’d interfere with our “original” news articles, which we’ve become popular from. And, while we won’t go away from doing our own “original” work, we are going to offer the track and series press releases to help fill in coverage gaps that we might have.
The second and maybe the biggest change we’ve made is we’ve added a section we’re calling “Also on the Web”. This new section will feature stories from other websites such as local newspaper websites in areas around the short tracks we cover as well as from websites that we might have once considered our competition. This will help us to become a one stop shop for all your racing news needs.
“I get up every morning and search the internet through a host of short track racing websites, just to see what’s going on everywhere else,” commented Austin. ” I go to Facebook and Twitter to catch the latest news from the racers and crew members themselves. I find that I have to search hard to get all the latest racing ‘gossip’ and news and I don’t think our readers should have to go all over the place to find out what’s going on.”
“If you look at the successful news websites nationally, you’ll find that they share news from other websites to help bring their readers more content. After thinking about it for a while, I feel that it’s in the best interest of RACE22.com to help deliver more news and more content to our readers and this will do just that. You might think of the other short track racing news sites as our competition, but after some soul searching, we’re looking at it as we all need to work together to make this level of racing more successful and we’re taking the first step to doing just that.”
Take a look around our newly renovated website, even though we’re not finished and we’re working the final bugs out, we think it’s far enough along to debut. Check out all the new sections, the added content and let us know what you think of the new design and what you’d like to see going forward, because we’re determined to make this the best short track racing website out there.
“Did we improve the RACE22.com experience?,” concluded Austin. “I’d like to think so, but I want to hear what everyone else thinks and how you feel we could make the website better. After all, without you the readers, this website wouldn’t exist any longer, we wouldn’t be able to sell ads and it wouldn’t be worth going to 100 races a year(as a team). This will be the best short track racing website on the internet with your help.”
