dirtsarcade.com is out of bussiness
« on: July 25, 2006, 01:17:17 am »
due to the death of my father last thursday dirtsarcade.com is closed. i simply can not carry on without him. thank all of you that have bought my machines in the past. i will still be here but i wont be selling any control panels, cabinets,or finished machines. he was half way done with a cabinet that i will finish and keep as my own. if anyone is interested in what happened to him here is a link to another forum that i belong to.

My deepest sympathies.  Sounds like he was truly one of the "good guys".

I think it's a great thing that his project will be continued by you and your brother and I wish you both success with it.

thanks for the kind words guys. it has been pretty rough. it doesn't help that i have been out of work with a herneated disk in my lower back thats pinching my siatic nerve since july 4th. i just went to the doctor today and they say i cant go back for at least another 30 days. at least i can spend alot more time with my mom and help her out.
