Draglist.com We are delaying the opening of our parts store until August 1st. Our partner has decided that their current shopping cart system was inadequate for the huge amount of inventory we are going to carry, so we have put it aside for another package. That software is undergoing coding now and will be tested and ready mid July. We then will take two weeks to ensure everything integrates smoothly with Draglist.com, then we will OPEN THE DOORS! Thanks for your patience. I don't want to open this thing half-ready. I want to be READY TO ROCK when the doors open! See you on August 1st! (NOTE: The Draglist Parts Store was discontinued in March 2001. bp)
