  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

Any Martinsville Comments?

If France had come out and said we are starting over with the chase, stats accumulated pre-chase are not to be compared to post chase that would be one thing. But he did not, the media compare JJ's 7 cups with Dale Sr. and the King. That pisses me off because they know better. Also Gordon did win seven real cups by the old rules but got no credit for them. The whole chase thing stinks!

I agree. I'd like to see the "chase" go away. Race for the whole season. I also agree with Gordon. Put those rules back into play and see if old 7 times can do it.

dont forget guys,the chase started when matt kenseth won the cup and Jr had not yet,they did this because he never even won a single race and still won,yet jr was supposed to be better then matt,yet jr still hasnt even come close...so yes,it is a crappy set up,ive never liked the chase,but it also proved a point that the sports baby boi still cant win in.
 
Dave, I think you make a good point. Was the Chase designed to help Dale Jr. win? I don't know. If it was, it didn't work. The Chase can reward consistency, but it gives equal weight to dumb luck and I don't like the concept of rewarding dumb luck.
