Over the past couple of days when I click the bookmark for the forum I get an error message and the site doesn't load.
On occasion, the error will pop up and then the site will load after 5-10 seconds.
If I clear my search history and cash, the site will usually load normally. When the site will not load, it will load on my phone.
I'm using Windows 10 Pro and Chrome on my desktop and Android and Chrome on my phone.
The error message is grassrootsmotorsports refused to connect. ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Thanks. Don’t believe we have seen that one but will investigate.

We're working on improving the performance (i.e. speed) of our website. We've had a bunch of bot traffic as of late, and we're working on combating that so we can deliver a nice, speedy site. I'm guessing your error is related to that. We're on it.

Could be.
Another thought, uBlock Origin quit working on Chrome so I installed uBlock Origin Lite. I thought I had installed it after the problem started but maybe not. I'll turn off filtering for this site and see if that helps.
I'll report back if so.
The only MS Edge seems to work for me. Chrome and safarri are not working. (Yes I cleared the cash)
And it looks like it is now fixed.
Thanks !!!!!!

I had the same problem the other day on chrome. Error message said it wasn't a secure site. I blamed my computer and reloaded the link and it works fine now. Maybe I'll have to apologize to my computer?
With uBlock turned off it's still throwing the code.

Weird. I tried Google Chrome and no issues here, but I don't have that plugin installed.
It seems like Google isn't making it easy for uBlock Origin to work, though: Google is killing one of Chrome's biggest ad blockers | PCWorld
It is working for me but it is Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow to open or click around on the site in Chrome.
