    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.

What are they riding these days?
Last round of the Speedway World Championship we made it too must have been at least 10 years ago and there was a mixed bag of upright ESO and JAP powered bikes along with the ESO 'Slopers' as they were called.
Mixed results as well, didn't seem any pattern to the wins, except I believe the 'Slopers' were better suited to the 1.5 mile Olympic Park track.
