Title: Where can I see WSBK this weekend? Post by: Cynic on March 13, 2009, 08:48:06 AM Ok, my cable having friends are out of town this weekend, so does anyone know if ACE or someplace else is going to have the SBK races on to watch? I will go insane having to wait till Wednesday to watch them! :-)

You can watch them online at worldsbk.com if you go through a proxy server (that's what I've been doing). If you subscribe to Speed, they're on TV on Sat.

What's this proxy server thing you speak of... I'm a nub at computers sometimes... er all times. Title: Re: Where can I see WSBK this weekend? Post by: Spidey on March 13, 2009, 09:06:00 AM I did a write-up somewhere about how to do it. Lemme see if I can find it. Ah, here ya go . . .
Ok, here's what I did, based on instructions from another website. I have no idea what kind of interwebz security issues are involved in this, so I was careful to stay away from any other sites while going through the proxy server. If any of you internet folks know a better way or a way of doing this more securely, please chime in. I'd really love to know. I was using IE. I couldn't figure it out with Firefox. 1) Get an ip address and port for a proxy server outside the US. I used http://www.proxy4free.com/page1.html. (http://www.proxy4free.com/page1.html.) 2) Cut and pasted an address and port from somewhere other than US. 3) Open up IE. 4) Got to Tools>Internet Options>Connections TAB>Lan Settings. 5) Check the proxy server button. 6) Enter in the IP address and port number for the proxy server 7) Click OK. 8) Go to WorldSBK.com & click on the race video. Be careful to avoid spoilers on the home page. If it doesn't WSBK home page doesn't load, start over. 9) If it's not working, it'll be insanely slow to load. Go back to Step 1 and get a new IP and port and try again. 10) If it works, the race plays in a player with its own pop-up screen. 11) After the race, unclick the proxy server button in Step 5. You may have to try a bunch of different IP addresses before you get one that works. Title: Re: Where can I see WSBK this weekend? Post by: desmoquattro on March 13, 2009, 09:13:16 AM Ace Cafe (14th & Mission in SF) is definitely showing it, I think at 1500 & 1800.
The Dainese Store will likely show it as well. Title: Re: Where can I see WSBK this weekend? Post by: Spidey on March 13, 2009, 09:15:40 AM Hattar is having a BBQ as well. There's a thread about it somewhere.

Are they letting Danny anywhere near the food? That'd make it scary. Title: Re: Where can I see WSBK this weekend?
