Hi mechanix9,
Good start, nice layout.
If you want to get a good pagerank, add the necessary stuff like site map, about us, contact information etc. Btw, that can be a text from the constitution or whatever, but it has to be there.
Add content on a regular basis. Get backlinks. Link to authority sites. Google loves Wikipedia. News papers, CNN and sites related to your niche.
