  • 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.

This Is How You Do Indy!!!

162mph, according to the tape. I don't think you could pass a pack of cigarettes under that Indy car. I'd also bet the drivers have a massively overdeveloped set of muscles for their right arm and shoulder, after watching that driver battling his wheel. Now, take that speed, make it close to 500 mph, where the horizon is vertical most of the time and the height above ground is about 50 feet and put the whole thing in a race circuit of irregular shape with pylons that must be rounded properly, and you have the Unlimited Gold Cup Race at Reno, Nevada. One hiccup or even a sneeze and you could find yourself smeared across several acres of desert real estate!
 
I believe it was footage to be used in 'Winning', one of the most under rated motor racing films made.
Paul Newman, Robert Wagner and Joanne Woodward with appearances by many front line drivers including Dan Gurney driving NASCAR.
IIRC it was shot in 1969, as the 'Winning' car was an Eagle-Offy driven by Bobby Unser (I think).
Be a great clip without the Bloody Muppet's commentary!!!!
