    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.

2015 = NASCAR HP Reduction?

Hey All,

Hmmm interesting. This will be a big change. I don't have any idea how it will turn out.

Why not just turn every race into a restrictor plate race?

Maybe just make everyone use four cylinder engines?

Maybe just use electric golf carts and be super eco friendly and super safe at the same time?

Geez, NASCAR! Just when you get a good car and there is good racing, you start mucking around and ruin it.

On a serious note:
Indycar went seriously downhill (IMHO) when the cars lost 250hp.
900 at their peak (before Tony George monkeyed around) to around 650 now.
 
NASCAR had just as good if not better racing when the engines only produced about 500 hp. I don't care if they lower the cubes a little but restictor plates that ruin throttle response would be a very bad mistake.

Secondary & tertiary effects of a 500hp Cup car.
- What would Nationwide hp be?
- What would Truck hp be?
 
I haven't heard anything about a cutback in the other two series. The whole business about engine and rule mods bring to mind the adage.... "Why did you change the rules? Because I can". The more they dick around with it the emptier the stands get.
 
Hey All,

I doubt they will radically reduce hp in the other series but we will see how it goes. As for messing around with the rules the best thing NASCAR did was get rid of that old antiquated season-long points system. Talk about a system of abuse where you just laid back and protected points for as long as half a year.
