Since the server has been unstable recently Admins have been gathering clues for the reason why. It looks like some memory issue peculiar to Laps is the culprit and a smaller Rotation the cure.
The trick has been to ensure all the tracks still get server time, it's all a bit chaotic in the tracklist with different archiving protocols being used by different uploaders. Last night I bit the bullet and scribed it all longhand and evenly distributed tracks from all builders throughout six trackpacks, to be loaded in sequence on a weekly rota. Week One, now up, contains 81 tracks of representative authorship and karma from the earliest Nations days right up to the present.
Please let me or any Admin know if the wrong version of any track is up.
Enjoy and HF!

My track, Harmon Hill Raceway, should be currently
removed from any rotation untill I can eliminate the
serious cut from it and re submit. This appears to be
the only track of mine left with a cut in it except one
but the cut in it is so difficult to hit I'm not changing it.
If anybody knows of another track of mine in need of
fixing please let me know and I will take care of it.
Thanks in advance.

check the mailbox we were using, Racer, I believe I sent the file Sunday night and took it down from server after I noticed Badboybeechy saving 11secs per lap.

Good job Mid' Wink
Thank you


edit: concerning my tracks, only the ones beginning with "SD" (Starbuck-Design) are the good versions.
The names are all in the same colour codes

nevertheless Lady Stardust Original is selected because it is a better version with Water to stop the ramp dodge, similarly 'Old' Ivoz Ramet: just a better track in original guise. You might not realise but there it is Wink

You're free to use any track you want anyway Middinho.
Some modifications were made to reduce the bloc cost. In the latests versions, i tried to stay under 2000 to prevent from lag as much as i could. that explain why i removed water on lady Stardust for example.
But as i said, you can take any of my tracks you want to. Wink

mid its been working great as far as I can tell and your hard work has not been wasted or unrecognised.

Has it been working fine since?

I have a list of tracks that were in the rotation last week and the servers cache was mostly deleted....we'll talk on the mic.
