    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.

By-by carburetor...

Come out of the dark ages Theo, fuel injectors can be tuned too. But I hate level playing fields too, think technology should rule. If you cannot come up with an idea that your competitor has come up with, then you're a loser.

Dark ages your ass,Im a crew cheif on a dirt late model and have been for several years and our motors produce as much and probaly more horsepower than a nascar motor.And the only injectors that can be tuned are are the mechanical ones like sprint cars use like Kinsler and Hilborn. The ones nascar will use will be electronic and controled by an ECM ,that could be reprogramed for tuning ,but they will be sealed by nascar.Just another way to make everyone the same so they can run in a big pack and have lots of big crashes to make all the rednecks happy,sorry thats not racing.

But it IS NASCAR.
In reality, 'carburation' is Stone Age technology today.
Try and buy any decent road car built in the past decade that doesn't run EFI.
That said, my '73 RS runs a pair of triple choke downdraught Webers and the replica GT40 four dual choke downdraught Webers, only because I aim for as much period authenticity as possible.
EFI would be more practical for the Ford, but I like the real thing.
That said, a single Holley 'pumper' is fine for the low end cheap 'racing'.........:173go1:
