First off, I don't mean to "dis" the work you've done so far, but you're asking for criticism, so I'll try to be as constructive as possible.

1. The music. I'm not too fond of it. As soon as the page loaded, I wasn't expecting it. I looked at the banner, then BAM! some music. I know there's a pause button, but from a web design standpoint, it's not good to have a automatically starting song.

2. The "Enter" banner. The images are pixelated. Should be an easy fix. Other images on the site are also pixelated.(ie: The "preview" pictures of the two trucks..)

3. take out the target="_blank" from the link to the main page. I can't stand when I have to open a new window.

4. Add some tables. The welcome.html page seems so..blank. Needs more content, some tables, maybe a side navigation.

5. The "Forum" button doesn't go anywhere. If you're in the process of creating a forum, or don't know where to start, I suggest using www.conforums.com . It's a free forum service that gives you your own URL. It's also VERY easy to use, and gives you tons of administrative features.

6. The pages would look much nicer if you were to make the backgrounds of the buttons transparent.

Other then that, the trucks look great, and you're obviously off to a great start. I know that I nit-pick, but I've got a niche for web design, and I'm just trying to help.

BTW, I'm loving the dash work on both of the trucks. VERY CLEAN!

Thanks for the constructed criticism. That's what I was looking for. As for the forum, it's about ready. It will be a phpbb sylye forum.

I got the forum up today. dragnframe, thanks for sending me to the conforums. I like that better than the phpbb forum that I have built in the past.

If anyone needs a new forum to check out feel free to come join up. No need to be a member of the club, it's for everyone that wants to come check it out!
