    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.

'Valentino Rossi To F1 In 2011?'

If he goes directly to F1, that would just be just funny. But Ricky Carmichael tried the move to stock cars, and fell on his butt.
 
Despite deciding against the move several years ago, and dismissing subsequent speculation, Valentino Rossi has now admitted moving to Formula 1 <nobr style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 100%;" id="itxt_nobr_0_0"></nobr>with Ferrari "could happen" in 2011.

Valentino will be what? around 32 or so in 2011.
Not going to happen ........ last week it was Superbikes, the week before WRC.
Operative phrase ....... "could happen"!
:173go1:
So could an outbreak of 'Peace' around the entire Planet but I wouldn't bet on it!
 
Surtees and 'Mike the Bike' were just great motorsport talents, even if that was "pretty far back".
Let's not forget that Hailwood returned to the IOM and won after he ceased driving F1 cars as well.
However, Agostini and Ken Kavanagh come to mind as two of the Motorcycling champions who never made the cut, and in much more recent years the great Eddie Lawson did a season in Indy Lights plus a few CART rounds with no success.
Oddly enough, going right back, Tazio Nuvolari and Achille Varzi came from two wheels and are regarded (by 'thinking' enthusiasts!) as two of the greatest drivers of all time.
