  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

Here's the first impression of the track already (Looks like rFactor to me.):

And I reckon it will remain a 'simulation'.
For at least 30 something years this one resurfaces.
Never going to happen, the US can't afford "Bernie's Popular Prices".
Well, Bernie likes them.

No, they say it's a go for 2013. Weehoken is where my dad's Uncle Tom lived, right at the Lincoln Tunnel. Great view on the waterfront of Manhattan. I stayed there the entire Summer of '68, fell in love with the Mets. I remember going as a kid with my father. Uncle Tom loved the Brooklyn Dodgers, called them "Dem Bums". I love baseball, so many memories, I can still here the Brooklyn Jewish section yelling at the umpire on a disputed call, "Raus, raus, raus mit der bum!" Memories, etched across the pages of my mind.

Ferry, this 'Myth' has been played over some 3 decades.
The nearest event that came close to a 'Grand Prix of New York' was a CART round in (IIRC) the late '80s at (and again IIRC) 'Meadowlands', won by Mario.
I know.......I'm a cynic, but as I mentioned, the US can hardly afford it.
Even now, the highly touted circuit in Texas is looking financially shaky, which is a shame.
I'll only believe this type of BS when I see a full grid setting off on a warm up lap.
