  • 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.

Only six 'American' drivers in the entire field.

Tony George really screwed the series right up.

'Mericans race cars with fenders! :icon_lol:

Since their inception, IRL and CART cars have always been a place for second-rate formula drivers or outgoing F-1 drivers when they're too old for F-1. Only when USAC had the reins was it a legitimate American racing series. Yes, Tony George is the muckraker that threw the monkey wrench into the whole works and did a FUBAR to all American open-wheel racing. he should be strung up by his yarbells.

Cazzie,
You know that the Hulman daughters (or Tony's sisters?) have pulled the reigns of control from him......(What I didn't like was the Castroneves won the race on another one of those "fuel strategies"...)
 
Hey All,

Didn't watch but I see a top 10 for Danica. Just listened to Castroneves interview - he says he was running as much as 12 mph slower than the leaders. Says there is a pocket of air around 10 cars back that helps you save fuel - interesting. Good job Helio - lots of ways to win.

You won't get any argument from me here - when it comes to strategy, Team Penske is arguably the best....

That being said, it was nice seeing Panther Racing finish in P2 & P3.....:jump:
