    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 Michigan

Can't have a non-Detroit car in the top tier of starters in Michigan, can we?

The Toyota's just didn't seem to have much speed at Michigan, at least not in qualifying. We'll see how they race. And Jimmie Johnson is desperately clinging to the 16th and last spot for the "play offs". We might see today if his new crew chief is going to help him find his way to the "play offs" of if the root of Jimmie's lack of performance is in the driver's seat.
 
Since there are never more than 40 entries each week anymore (thanks to the "charter" system), speedway qualifications have become useless. I am sure Gibbs' Toyotas will be on front before lap 30...
 
Sadly, these days every team that shows up gets to race and it's never more than 40 cars showing up. I remember back before The Great Recession when you would have cars going home because they failed to qualify, only the fastest 43 cars got to race. It was really interesting back then, but now it's more corporate racing, not little teams or individuals looking to get their big break into racing.
