Why don't you make the drop-down menus a color like one of the others in the color color scheme?

Do you really need that cheesy picture of that old dude?

Times New Roman != website font

The left nav is too smashed against the left side. Give it some padding.

Gradient bg images are so 90's.

On the other hand, it is way better than the old one. The logo is nice. 🙂

logo made by a fellow A|T member.

Fixed the Nav lettering

Cheesy pic will be gone by the time the site goes live (as the race is next weekend

 
Some advice from me.

1. Change the body font to Arial or a similar sans-serif font
2. Lose the blue underline on the left menu links and maybe give them a simple CSS underline on a:hover (ask if you need clarification)
3. Preferably lose the picture of the old guy

when you highlight the font is there a menu on the side of the screen somewhere that lets you change aspects of it?
 
Your site is really "random". None of the elements really go together, and all those pictures seem really random.
