- 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.

So is it Kyle or his equipment that leads to his truck domination performances like today :ques:

I would say about 70% driver and 30% crew and equipment.

Can we apply the same to Jimmie Johnson? (Especially since Gordon has 4 championships with the same team)
Hey All,
During the era of the wing? - Probably so. No team knew how to "wing it"
as good as Jimmie and Chad. Wingin it as well as understanding that - for the most part - NO race is as important as winning the Championship was the key to Jimmie's dominating performance. Before and after the wing it comes down to the right call at the right time by Jimmie and Chad or their opponents and some luck. I still recall with great fondness the sight of Kyle and Denny coming down pit road while everybody else stayed out cause they knew Phoenix (fall 2010) was a fuel economy race while the Gibbs boys were clueless. In the trucks Kyle has basically a Sprint Cup level team with no Sprint Cup level competition other than Harvick. Hard to lose with equipment that good.

So what you're essentially saying is that Hendrick Motorsports is a better team than Joe Gibbs racing....
+1 "underdog" point to all the Gibbs drivers then....:mixedsmi:

The big "unknown" is how many more championships Gordon/Evernham *could* have won....However, I'm looking forward to Kasey Kahne doing well next year
