You only have until the end of Monday, July 19th to order your FinalGear.com shirts. If you were planning on buying some, please do so soon!

The design contest and voting has finally come to a close and the winners decided. The seven designs, decided on using the voting results as well as our personal favorites, are now available for pre-order on our store. Orders are open until July 19th at which point we’ll get the shirts printed up. We’ll begin shipping on August 9th.

Questions? Comments? Post in this thread or e-mail us.

Here are the designs that we’re selling (note some of these shirts are available in multiple colors):

Scandinavian Flick

Oh Cock

Just Add Dinosaurs

We may move the FinalGear logo onto the back instead.

Some Say

Don’t Charge, Supercharge

6 Litre Twin Turbo

Doppelkupplungsgetriebe

German for Porsche’s PDK dual clutch transmission.

You have until this Monday (July 5th) to vote for your favorite shirt designs. The top few (we’re not sure how many yet) will be printed up and offered for sale. You will need to have a forum account to vote, but signing up is really quick and easy!

Yes, we’re aware that our download links are currently down. Sorry for the trouble — they’ll be back as soon as possible.

UPDATE: I’m told the site is back up, but you’ll need to wait for your DNS to update.

That’s right boys and girls, we’re going 24 Hours of Lemons racing once again! Today and tomorrow, Quiky (who runs this site with me), PunisherBass, and a few others will be in Summit Point, West Virginia for Capitol Offense 2010. They’ll be racing a supercharged Pontiac Grand Prix:

PunisherBass and perhaps Quiky will be tweeting updates, which I’ve embedded here for easy viewing (it will automatically refresh):

Wish them luck!

We’re holding another T-Shirt design content, this time for the purpose of designing this year’s shirts. If you’re interested, check out this thread for details!

The FinalGear.com LeMons race team is in need of drivers for the 24 Hours Of LeMons event dubbed Capitol Offense in June. If you’re interested in joining the team you can find details of the build here and details on driver applications here.

Are you in need of a place to co-locate your server or are in need of a leased dedicated server? Do you want to help support FinalGear? Then read on.

A few months ago, we moved the servers that run FinalGear.com into our own server rack with dedicated bandwidth. We have some space and bandwidth left over though, so we are looking to resell that extra stuff in order to recoup some of our monthly bill. We are in a top-quality datacenter called Netriplex in Asheville, North Carolina which comes with all of the standard SLA things like 99.95% power and network availability guarantee and so forth.

If this interests you, please see this thread on our forums which contains all of the specifics. And remember, you are directly helping out FinalGear if you decide to host with us, so thank you!

EDIT: Please note that the recent downtime only affected the servers that run FinalGear.com. Other servers in our rack were not affected.

If you’re going to be anywhere near The ‘Ring on August 14th and 15th, I’d like to invite you to come to our annual meetup there. We’ll have a bunch of people going and taking their cars out onto the track for some laps.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in doing, check out the official thread for the meet.

We’ll be participating in some 24 Hours of LeMons races once again this year and this time using a different car. If you’re interested, you can find out about it in this forum thread.
