A tasteful addition to the web site and a great sponsor. Good job!

OK, I have to ask:

is Elephant offering the NoVa board members any type of discount on their products?

Both that and the shield in the upper right corner are very tastefully done. Congrats!

Guys,

Not yet. The question of banner space in return for discounted merchandise was brought up, but Chuck wanted to see what kind of traffic would be generated first, although it can't hurt to ask.

The arrangement we made was we'll put his logo on this board and we'll see what kind of traffic is driven to his site from it. As this board generates more return traffic than new, Chuck was concerned about the exposure he would get from placing a banner here. Reasonable concern. In the meantime he sent us some t-shirts and we'll see how things go from here.

If you guys do order anything from Elephant, let him know that you came from Dorkiphus.com. I know you're just itching to say 'dorkiphus' Chuck's a super nice guy, quite knowledgeable and will spend his time answering your questions.

Gotta start somewhere.....

Charlie, so in other words, we should keep clicking on that banner.

I did visit their site from here and noticed they sell "track skins,'' which look like what Tony has on the front of his Carrera at the track. Is that your source, APKhaos? Or are there others? I would have ordered right away but their blue might clash with my racer's tape blue.
