there is a very active mailing list for hotrodders at hotrod@dixie.com.
This list is very active (average 30 messages a day) and is moderated (by
me) so there is no noise.  There was some talk about forming a group
but most of us feel that the group would be pretty useless unless  
moderated and none of us seem to have the time nor the inclination to
fight the war for a moderated group.  The list works too well.  Note
that the list is exploded out into regional newsgroups in several areas
including the UK so a public inquiry might turn up a local feed (don't
ask me, I don't know.)

The charter and subscription info is included below.  Please
carefully read the charter and the subscribing instructions. 
Note that pubescent chevy vs ford bashing, jap bashing, etc is
absolutely not tolerated.  That kind of stuff fits in right here so keep it
here.  People from all camps are represented on the list so if you need 
expertise with a particular car or engine, this is the place to come.

--------------------- charter follows --------------------------------------

The mailing list hotrod@dixie.com is chartered to provide a
forum for  people interested in high performance vehicles to
exchange ideas and  discuss topics of current interest. This
list is chartered as broadly as possible consistent with  noise
supression.  I believe it to be more constructive to list
unacceptable topics and behavior rather than trying to
ennumerate permissible behavior. Regarding hotrods, I consider
noise and therefore inpermissible to be:  

*	Discussions about stock street cars.
*	Discussions about magic elixirs with no technical basis.
*	Ford vs Chevy vs ... bashing.
*	Foreign or domestic car bashing.
*	Purely Cosmetic issues concerning stock street cars.  (Buyer's guide
	to fuzzy dice/air fresheners, for example.)
*	Usenet-style flaming of any sort.

Explicitly acceptable is any discussion regarding increasing the performance
of any vehicle with more than three wheels.  

To subscribe to this list, send email to hotrod-request@dixie.com.

Include on the Subject: line the keyword "subscribe" and a return path to 
your site.  Example:  If you are at foo@bar.edu,

Subject: Subscribe foo@bar.edu

If you do not include a return path, my Incredibly Dumb Mail Slave may
try to extract a path from your mail header.  If it does not  work, this
slightly less dumb mail manager (me) will not intervene.  Include a path.
If you do not receive an acknowledgement, that means your return path
did not work and you either were not subscribed or were immediately dropped
because of bouncing mail.

To post to the list, send mail to hotrod@dixie.com.  Please
include  a meaningful subject line.  Inquiries, requests to be
dropped from the list and other administrivia should be
addressed to jgd@dixie.com.   If you send a request to be dropped from
the list to hotrod-request, you'll likely be automatically subscribed again 
instead.
