    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.

NASCAR 2017 Rules

ugh. Stages and mandatory cautions. Great for tv and radio advertisers, they know exactly when there will be long commercial breaks. I think I'm done with NA$CAR.
 
I was fearing something as soon as they announced a new title sponsor...

But after all, this could be interesting.

> A driver who dominates a race but suffers a mechanical failure before the checkered flag would get some valuable championship points instead of nothing.
> Chase points will not be totally reset at the end of each round (except for the last race at Miami) since winning drivers will keep their bonus points. This will be more fair and drivers who earn wins will try to get more to have more bonus points.

Let see what this will produce in terms of sport and show. This is the first time ever since I started following NASCAR, but I am quite confident about these new rules.:encouragement:

I tend to agree, can hardly watch a race now with all the same commercials going on and on, so just what we need, more of them!!

Here we watch NASCAR races live without any commercials. And while YOU are watching commercials, WE get awful inboard camera sequences. :a1310:
 
So....
The other side of the debate is that NASCAR is giving a "nod" to the local Saturday night heat race format...
 
i was keeping quiet on this,but,i must say this format should,in theory make drivers run harder,if there are 3 chances to make points that count towards the final out come,then they will run harder,be a bit more competitive. i'm lobbying for two things,stop any more start n park,which this should eliminate, well i hope anyway.and two to have more points awarded to the runners up,like through fifth place in each of the "heats".

one thing i also have pushed for is qualifying two make heat one or heat two,sort of like the twin 125s.which would set the field for the main.
