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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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 Aero

Yep, the goal is to create aero packages that allow cars to pass rather than getting stuck behind another car. It also decreases the aero advantage of being the lead car. We've seen instances where a slower car inherits the lead due to cautions and pit stops, but better cars cannot catch the leader because they must contend with the aero forces created by surrounding cars.

Hey All,
I think you need to read the assessments of this package by the drivers and NASCAR. There are issues with it and it did not seem to work. What NASCAR wants is the slicing and dicing action of IndyCars on the big ovals and/or more pack racing slingshots. That way we will have more races with the "big one". I have no problem messing with rules packages but they have to find a more equitable way for teams to adjust. If you spent a bunch of money testing under "old" rules and another team tested under "new" rules seems unfair to me.

Seems like the impossible task to me.
Remember the days when one manufacturer got ahead? And then NASCAR would subsequently penalize that team by forcing them to remove a quarter inch here and there...
