THANK YOU to our patrons who pledged their support to us during October! Thanks to their support we moved closer to fixing our online race servers and because of their help HeatFinder's services can be maintained. Our next goal is looking for funding, at $100/month (now just $20 away) Public Server 2 be funded so we can maintain it's services and we will make required upgrades to Public Server 1 which continues to suffer severe connection issues at it's current location. HeatFinder has always been and continues to be funded through donations and operated by a staff of dedicated volunteers. We continue to face rising monthly and yearly expenses for our servers, websites, bandwidth and domains. With your support, as little $1 per month (that's about 3.5¢ a day) you can help us improve our service, increase and improve league racing and grow our 15 year old community! Please consider making a pledge to HeatFinder... Your pledge of just $1 WILL make a huge difference! - During October we were able to get the TSOR, TourSport Online Racing, league website up and running and shifted the ARL Sports Car and Touring Car Series to this new spin-off road racing league. We are hoping to get things finalized with this league by early 2016. - The 2015 NASCAR Heat Community Awards Winner Festival race has been scheduled for Saturday, November 28th at 9pm ET US / 2am UTC. You can find more details on this great public event here. - Progress continues slowly on development of the new website back-end system which will speed up and add features to all of our hosted league management websites. We currently sit at about 10% completed. - 2016 ARL Cup & National Series will be released during November, including schedules and exciting changes ahead for our great drivers. We are currently looking for community members to join the HeatFinder team as League Officials or League Moderators to help run any of our four leagues, are you interested in this role? Contact DusterLag via support@heatfinder.net and let us know how you can contribute. We are asking for your support through pledges, we have several goals setup on our Patreon page that begin with funding our current monthly expenses. We are collecting pledges through a great service called Patreon at patreon.com. With Patreon you control how and when your pledge is made, you can adjust your pledge or remove your pledge at any time. Patreon is a crowdfunding company founded in 2013 in San Fransisco by Jack Conte from Pomplamoose of YouTube fame and is often used by Podcasters, Musicians and Artists to support their creations. Think of it like an ongoing Kickstarter but instead of funding a single project with a single goal and single payout you are pledging an ongoing amount per month (as little as $1). This pledge can be adjusted or removed at any time. If you want to make a one time donation simply pledge for a month and remove your pledge after your account has been charged shortly after the beginning of the month. Making your pledge is quick, simple and requires little information, you can even pledge anonymously or via PayPal on the Patreon site! Please consider pledging as little as $1 a month here... heatfinder.net/donate Thank You, DusterLag HeatFinder Co-Founder
