  • 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.

    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.

Ricky Craven and ESPN

ESPN will probably always reserve the NASCAR Cup race commenting to famous drivers who have won championships, which is understandable. That means Ricky Craven will probably never call a Cup race on ESPN, and that is too bad, IMO. I love the way he calls the Nationwide races, as he doing now in Iowa. He seems to assume that most of the viewers know something about NASCAR and racing. Even if that assumption might be wrong, it means he isn't patronizing, and it means he imparts knowledge about racing that you don't get from Rusty Wallace and Dale Jarrett, both of whom I admire, just for the record. Craven just inserts interesting tid-bits and "inside" driving stuff that we don't seem to get from the others. And I'm not saying this just because he's a fellow "Maine-iac" ... :)
 
He just needs a hook, his own boogity boogity boogity. *
Assuming racing fans know about racing is going to get you nowhere!
Perhaps as the race starts he can shout "Diringo Diringo Diringo!!" **









*god how I hate that phrase


* word on the street says that is the Maine state motto, "I lead"
