    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.

First time in ten years

Congrats, a 1st for me this weekend as I head over to Laguna Seca raceway here in the US for 2 wheel action. I did take advantage of formerly living down the road from COTA in Austin,TX for the USGP.
 
Should be entertaining even in the present day configuration.
I made it to Ricard back in the 500cc MotoGP era and watched one of the best races of that time, Gardner, Sarron, Roberts and Eddie Lawson (IIRC) going at it like a knife fight in a phone box!
Epic circuit.
Have a great weekend!
:encouragement:

When seen from the track side as well. :encouragement:

I took advantage of practice sessions to experiment some of the best point of views. Here are some of the shots I took (I have 680 more).

The Chicane (best place for engine sound) :

This #43 Red Bull Ferrari 430 was driven by Red Bull's F1 car designer Adrian Newey. During the second race, he hit the Peugeot 908 while being lapped, sending both cars spinning around. :p87:
 
I'm still not enthusiastic about the track (A few test runs in AC and I agree with the teams that they should remove the second chicane.) but it looks like you have a fun weekend! :encouragement:
