    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 docks Hamlin 75 points, suspends crew chief six races

"12-1 -- Actions detrimental to stock car racing;"

That would cover anything and everything laid down by NASCAR.

Evidently the firewall plates were rigged so as to allow cabin air pressure to escape, thus allowing the car to have more down force. Carl Edward's former crew chief did a similar thing with a cover plate in the rear of the cabin several years ago, the result was a severe penalty in points, money, and a crew chief suspension.
 
I don't understand why you cheat when you are already in the Chase. It makes no sense. This stunt could result in Hamlin starting the Chase with the lowest number of points, putting him in the spot for early elimination from the Chase.

Was it cheating or was it a grey area that IROC (NASCAR) decided to be cheating?
 
Funny set of moral standards apply to NASCAR, on one hand Smokey Yunick is revered as a much loved legendary character when in truth he was a crafty 'cheater'.
Not that it bothers me, he was IMHO a genius at rule bending!!
:triumphant:
Today the 'High Priests' hand out draconian penalties for seemingly minor infringements, while even the F1 movers and shakers are letting people get on with 'racing'.
 
I think NASCAR has undergone some radical and ridiculous changes since Brian France was handed the role of CEO and chairman of NASCAR. It may be a generational thing, kids and especially grandchildren who are handed the keys to the family business often do not appreciate or understand what it takes to be successful.
