Who is Tran?

I'm guessing that Tran is just kind of an icon account. Anyway, i want to know who the man behind the account is. I'm a curious cat, that's why.

Tran is the owner of Camaro5.com, he is the one that pays the bills to keep the site running.

Geez, you make it sound like it comes out of his pocket. The site sponsors pay the bills to keep the site running.

I don't think it's that easy. Or it wasn't that easy early on when c5 was started.

I own a website and it does take allot of behind the scenes stuff to keep it going. And once he started taking in money from sponsors/advertisers it gets even more hectic. Not as easy as many think it is.

He still pays to run the site himself though. The sponsors don't go around covering all the expenses incurred by the site. I mean, Tirerack isn't paying for the domain, and Pedders USA isn't going around buying storage space for us, and Lingenfelter isn't covering the bill for the bandwidth used.

The sponsors pay Tran for the right to use the site for their own commercial purposes. Tran pays to keep the site running.

Don't forget...there were no sponsors for this site for the first three years it was running...

All paid for by himself.
