This is not the only time such things have happened to me.  I was once not able to access the site, but that was in October or something.  It seems that whenever Track's site is down, so is Columbia's.  It is now, and it was in October.

I've noticed when I look at the URL, some of the links on Track's site,
actually are on Columbia or go through Columbia's website.

More news!  Five days since my last reply, Track's site is up, but Columbia's is down.  That's a first, eh?

It's "taking too long to respond." for me.  Does tat mean that they're working on it with Ebonite or something?

I still want access to bowling ball information when I need it.  Plus there's the Track Legion, but I don't use that so much.

We are in the middle of designing an all new Track web site. It will be live July1. We have Hugh plans for the site. I have a question for the Legion members do you want to have a similar looking background or an all new look and feel? I am thinking of using the same layout since it is a good one and will be a large cost savings.

Fig,

Keep the old backround and layout. The one thing I think alot of guys would like to be able to have the ability to see is a 3D CGI reaction of "said" ball they are looking at. I know storm use to have it way back in the day of the super powers and El Nino. I think that would give a better idea as to what the ball will do rather then a little 2D line image. I can think of some ideas as to make it more aimed to the bowler looking at the ball at the time. Such as a style reaction and a idea of what the ball does OOB and then if the surface is sanded or polished. I think most of us like the layout as is. I feel that what we want are a little more inovative and interactive things on the site that anyone with any Internet Connection can use. Weather it be Dial-up, DSL, OR CABLE.

If the CGI thing is to hard, then I am sure you could get at least a Stroker, Tweener, and a crancker and have them use a "said" ball at OOB, SANDED, and POLISHED. Then place those videos on the info screen of the "said" ball.

Videos are a major plus.  I would do videos on a variety of conditions (light, med, heavy) and with different bowling styles (stroker, tweener, cranker) just so people can pick the right ball for the right condition based on how they throw the ball.  Might be time consuming, but videos are a great influence (aside from actually seeing someone throw a ball in person) on my purchasing decisions.
