Z06 Dashboard Has an Issue - FIXED

I just discovered an issue with the Z06 Dashboard page that is causing it to fail with a 504 error. I ran into a similar problem when I first created the Stingray Dashboard... I believe the Z06 dataset just got big enough to run into the same issue. I'm trying to remember how I…

Just a Small Update

No major changes to the site recently. I was hoping to have the first release of the 'custom search' feature done over the weekend, but sometimes life just gets in the way. I'm shooting to have the interface done during the week, then finish up the backend piece over the weekend…

Welcome to All the New Users and Some Updates

A few days ago someone shared a link to the site in a facebook group, this brought a ton of new users to the site. The instant jump in traffic was enough to make the site automatically scale up to have more resources to meet the demand. I really never expected that to happen.…

User Registration is Now Live

User registration is now live. For real this time. To the one guy who registered an account while I was still getting things sorted out.. sorry ;) You'll have to re-register so you get the verification email this time around. For everyone else, you can now register a user…

Stingray Dashboard is Live

The site has completed its processing of all of the 2023 Stingray data. I did some work tonight to get the Stingray dashboard up and running. You'll notice the Z06 Dashboard link in the menu is gone and it now simply says Dashboards. When you click it, there will be a drop down…

Raw Data Will Be Visible Again This Weekend

Just a small update. As you may have seen in the last update, most of the raw data that was available on the site was hidden because someone tried to download all of it at once. That was disruptive to the operation of the site so I had to stop it. Sometime this weekend, the raw…

Vehicle Data Pages are Disabled

Tonight someone decided to go all out trying to download all of the data from the individual vehicle pages. Not surprised, I expected this would happen eventually. It appeared they just unleashed a script and had it throwing requests as fast as possible. Since I pay for this…

Another Late Night Update

So a handful of tweaks and upgrades for today. First, the Stingray data is still coming in. The site has about 40% of the 2023 Stingray data, so that is moving along nicely. But tonights changes: The vehicle list pages are no longer limited to the most recent 100 added to the…

Stingray Data Coming In

Last night I began bringing in the Stingray data for the 2023 model year. It's a process that takes some time. I should have the Stingray 70th Anniv. data completed the morning, the rest of it will take 10 days or so. As many people have noticed, the Vehicle Data section started…

Some Changes and Work in Progress

Work continues on the site, even if it isn't visible. I have been working to streamline the data collection process. I now have a script I have created that will completely automate the process. I am going to spend a few days testing it and seeing how it performs before I run…
