    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 qualifying process

So, I see that NASCAR has abandoned the group qualifying system and returned to single car qualifying. Back to the old system! What next, dump the playoff [STRIKE]scam[/STRIKE] scheme and go back to a season long points system that places emphasis on weekly performance rather than luck?

Group qualifying was an interesting idea. The concept of racing your way in and give fans a reason to sit through or watch qualifying was good, but it ended up being a sad joke.
 
Glad they changed it back to the original process for qualifying. Don't tell me they might be listening to the drivers now,lol
 
That's just it, the drivers were dissatisfied with group qualifying and I can understand why. You have a good run going and you run up on a car that just finished, is slowing, but still on the track. You might have to let up so you don't hit them and even if you don't slow up, the air you are passing through might be turbulent and upset your car. I get it from the driver's perspective. Then there was the waiting, no one wanted to be the first car on the track, you wanted to be near the end so there would be even more rubber on the track. It was an interesting concept and, I guess with Brian France no longer at the helm, Jim France is listening and looking to make NASCAR a popular motor racing sport once again.
