A Brief History
Sportruck.com traces its beginning to 1996. It was
originally founded as a "Sport Trucks" fan site with information
about sport trucks. At that time, the total amount of information about
sport trucks on the Internet was limited to a handful of words on only a few pages. The
"Sport Trucks" site quickly grew. The
introduction of the Truck Tech Q&A area allowed users to interact by
asking and answering questions. By June of 1997, the "Sport
Trucks" page had moved to its own URL, Sportruck.com. From the start,
Sportruck.com has continually provided up-to-date features, extensive show coverage,
and a place for the online sport truck community to converge and share
information.
Our Philosophy
We believe that the Internet provides unique
opportunities beyond any other media. We do not pretend to be an "online
magazine." We are a complete resource, with constantly updated directories,
listings, and information. We host the largest online community of sport truck
enthusiasts. Thousands of people come to Sportruck.com on a daily basis,
to chat, learn, and have fun. We update constantly, not on a monthly
basis. Show coverage often appears within hours of a show. We don't wait
for monthly updates because we aim to provide the latest information as
soon as possible. We also believe in keeping as much information available
as possible, and we keep extensive archives of previous articles,
pictures, and information, amounting to over 200,000 messages, thousands
of high-resolution show pictures, and over 1,000 clubs are listed in our
exclusive truck club
directory.
We provide all this to anyone and everyone with
access to the Internet. We do not charge for subscriptions to Sportruck.com.
Subscriptions severely limit the amount the number of viewers and thus the
amount of information which can be exchanged. Furthermore, we do not believe
in charging for what can be found elsewhere (although in a lesser degree
than what Sportruck.com offers) for free.
