    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

A day at the races:Sandown Park V8 Round Part 4

Take this as a thank you on Parts 1, 2, and 3 also Wombat. Sometimes watching racing in the race is so nice. Great shots mate, love 'em. Wish we had more of that kind of stock car racing in the antipodes.

yeah i agree with cas,,,thanks for the posting,wish we could see more coverage here in the US of the V8 series..i sure enjoy them,,,,i like nascar,,,but man i get bored,and im an ex driver ( i know ive about worn that out,but i understand the stragy of the long race and pit stops ect,plus the short track racing) but the V8 cars on those road courses are just fun
 
You're welcome Caz and Dave.

The V8 web site provided the shots, I decided against attempting to shoot anything given the conditions.

I kid you not, Friday was bloody hot with a wicked Northerly, Saturday was as cold as a witch's tit and the rain was either heavy or heavier, while Sunday was just right.
Visibility was a killer in the wet, as the cars generate a lot of heat inside which turns steamy and condenses on the screen, if the demister strips are a bit feeble it gets REALLY exciting over the top of the back straight where they arrive with the rev limiter bouncing away and the car is hitting around 276K.
At the end of the round it's 180 points difference between the Vodafone pair, 300 points are up for grabs at the final round in Sydney, another street circuit.
Could be a dramatic finale as the weather is unstable up there at this time of the year.
