This week at Land Of The Free Racing our thoughts and wishes are with a new friend and team mate, NoQuarter.

NoQuarter was racing Sunday, experienced chest pains and was rushed to the hospital. He is recovering and hopefully will be home this week.

He's rather new to the LFS scene but has been active in the STCC program. Some of you may have seen him here or there.

Best wishes to Ed (NoQuarter) and his family/friends.

Quote from Drgservers.com :

Then as a company we can issue a refund to them.

As i have stated we are extremely sorry for the issues all customers where emailed updating them on the situation.

What would we would more like to happen is that the customer get time free with extra servers for the downtime.

Lee

Refund? Send one this way! You should already have all the info. Show us your word is valid.
I don't need or want any more servers, just a refund would be good business practice.

Thanks

I've used number 2 for years, though never having to do with racing at all.

I like the double digit look so I use 02.

Just a bit of a bump...

Looking forward to the start of the LOTA Formula V8 Challenge, see you guys there!

Land Of The Free Racing is 1 year old this month!

Thanks to all members and friends for the continuing success of this team!

During our first year we have had up to 21 members. We still have 15 members, more than half of which are currently active. Nine members are also registered members of the League Of The Americas

The team now hosts 4 servers provided by 500 Servers
And continues to provide a 20 slot Ventrilo server.

We look forward to another interesting and rewarding year of Racing with LFS.

Congrats Land Of The Free Racing !!!

Thanks to paypal I got a refund but these guys are diplorable - i went on TS to speak to one of the support agents only to find that "Lee" the owner of the company had been "on a bender" all weekend when he tried to blame the delay on a new billing system...
I feel sorry for "Kevinisgod" though - poor kid was in ts with a server problem - think he couldnt get a plugin working on the server... totally ignored by the staff - needless to say with the above posts stay away from DRGservers.com

Consider yourself lucky! Lee at DRG took my money and gave me nothing but excuses.

Heed the warnings... DONT DO BUSINESS WITH DRG!

500 Servers Rocks!!!

Quote from tade :

Guys, I am deeply sorry, I apologise for blaming the wrong team. Land of the Free Team has nothing to do w/Eagle Racing so I was writing at the wrong thread. I am sorry if I caused any trouble or disturbance. I wrote to them anyway, through their official site, but I never got a reply.

I am sorry once again. Keep on racing

Thanks tade! See you out there...

Quote from tade :

I am hereby writing to complain about the behavior of some of your team's members...

...So I am wondering at the disgraceful behaviour of some of Eagle Racing Team members, I've done almost 5000 laps on LFS and I've logged on to hundreds of servers. Never before have I been banned and never before have I encountered such fascist attitude. I just wonder...

Well, I'm sorry to hear about that. You have obviously put a lot of thought into your post, but no thought into where to post it.

I suggest you try to contact the Eagles directly if you have a problem with the Eagles. Your post is like a message left on the wrong voice mail.

The Land Of the Free Racing is not an answering service for the Eagles Race team.

You are more than welcome on any LOTF Racing server, and if you experience this on OUR server please do let us know.

You know Danke earned his bars before he even became a member!

Happy Holidays to all of LFS!

One of the few times I get to say, without sounding like an old hippy...

PEACE!
PEACE on Earth, Brothers and Sisters! Best of luck to you all in the new year.

Welcome to the team guys!

Quote from tristancliffe :

I've done the staring competition thing too! Very amusing, especially in the cars which require very little braking for T3 - who can hold the stare longest, even after the 100m board!

I love that! My problem is I start cracking up and give it up...

Anyway a ton of good points here on both sides, I'm considering changing the binds I have used in the past...

You know what they say... as Ohio goes, so goes the nation!

Are you all prepared to go to the moon?

500 Servers rocks!

Ordered a year of the deluxe package today and everything is all set up already!

Great work Franky500 and Stoney!

We now have 4 new 23 slot servers secured for one year!
Cheers to Franky500 at 500 Servers

One server, we are GENEROUSLY (thanks everyone) donating to LOTA.
The other three servers are named
||| LOTF Racing A
||| LOTF Racing B
||| LOTF Racing C

Of course we still have Skippy's server as well. Thanks Skippy!

This member supported team is looking forward to a substantial savings in the year 2007, while undergoing positive growth, exciting changes and additional series' for the new year as well.

Join us on the track and look for new event news soon.

What ever you do, do not rent from DRG servers until you have done extensive searching for information.
I saw this... https://www.drgservers.com/mod ... d&order=0&thold=0
And thought it sounded like a good deal, a bit less than we were paying.

I purchased one month of 23 slots via Pay Pal, and paid extra for debranding, on the 26th of last month.
They confirmed my purchase and then did nothing. They still have not set up my account or put up my server or given me any server information. All they have given me is a user name and password to a control panel. The username and password don't work. They show no invoices on my account and no services, so no wonder I can't log into the control panel.

I have links to various blogs and such refering to similar problems from other customers if anyone is interested.

My experience is that Lee from DRG Servers (LFS S2 license: drgservers.com) Is dishonest and not to be trusted.

On the other hand 500Servers is now offering great deals on servers in Canada. Check it out you wont be able to beat it anywhere!

Welcome to the team guys, look forward to seeing you on the track!

Quote from franky500 :

If its taking 17 hops for some of you then i dont think ill get anything from there. 12 i think i could live with.

Thanks for the info on that

I have seen reference to a datacenter on the east coast, possibly NY, that claims to have 8 hops to Europe.

Quote from banshee56 :

School a n00b on how to check please?

Windows Start button, press Run... , type cmd and press ok.
In the command window after the DOS prompt, type tracert 66.228.118.21


It will display each hop, (average ping in the middle column), and location and IP's of each hop.

Quote from banshee56 :

That's wierd, I'm in Marsh's backyard here in Cincinnati, Ohio, and I'm getting, on average, 43ms. As he said, sounds like Dallas Texas.

Well I don't get to Cinci until my 7th hop. I have to go through Columbus first, do you?
How many hops total do you get?

Quote from franky500 :

Well when im looking for places if i give u guys a couple of IP's to ping can u let me know what u get?

Heres one im looking at now.:

66.228.118.21

Gives me around 130 ping for me in the UK, havnt looked too close yet so dont know exact locations.

Here in the State of Ohio, I get an average ping of 67ms from that IP. Good ping here, for 17 hops. Most likely in Dallas Texas.

Quote from banshee56 :

I think the best option is East coast, so we can still have good ping to the states, but also have decent ping to Europe. I will be anxiously (just short of stalking you) awaiting this solution.

As will I...

? Well, does anyone in Europe rent from DRG?

Congratulations!
