- 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.

....Hey All,
Actually Dave I think he and Chad want 3 more - that way Chad will have more Championships than Dale Inman who has 8 as I recall. That way both the driver and the crew chief will have more than anybody in Cup history.
Others feel differently...

<nav class="menu actions"> </nav> I do not like them in my house.
On my TV they are just a louse!
I do not like them in a box.
I like them even less on FOX!
I do not like them while I drink Coke.
They have turned NASCAR into a joke!
I do not like them here or there.
I do not like them ANYWHERE!
So please JJ and Chad Knaus,
Just go away and stay out of my house!
hee hee
Congrats Jimmie and Chad! And finally Denny does something.

Tell you what....
As good as Jimmie & Chad are, when I pull up out of Pit Lane and go up high for a Grand Stand view of things, Hendrick Motorsports has shown utter domination within the last 10yrs or so. Between their engines & drivers in the Chase, they are a Juggernaut! Since 1995 a Hendrick driver and/or engine has won 12 Cup Championships - those split between Gordon & Jimmie with Stewart being the lone "engine" win.

Hey All,
Actually 11 I think.
That said so what if Hendrick is a juggernaut? Wasn't Petty? I saw an article where Richard said - he'd be just another driver if it weren't for his equipment. So would most drivers - you don't have a car you don't win - ask Matt at Phoenix a week ago. How would Vettel do in a force india car? That said you still have to be a talented driver even if you have good equipment. So is it fair the very best talent probably never gets to drive the best cars? No but who said the world was fair? Winners write history - always have.

12 actually with Stewart's Hendrick powered championship.
Anyways, relax EasyEd, it was an observation, not a criticism

Hey All,
Yes Jimmie is that good.
I read an article where Jimmie pointed out the wind blowing between two grandstands was affecting his car. He is that "in tune." Even at that he is not especially knowledgeable in technical car details but Chad knows what he means when he says "whatever"... That communication is everything...

Let's also not forget that it was Gordon who was able to spot Jimmie's extreme talent....

Yep, an amazing run this outfit has put together. I've been paying attention to NASCAR only since 2001. That's 13 seasons. Six of them have gone to the 48 team now. That's remarkable. He may yet get more than 7. And as one who usually finds one of the "old timers" to pull for, I might start keeping the sound on when JJ wins, since he's turning into one. Black-cowboy-hat-stud will surely become insufferable next year...
