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.
- 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.
The worst has happened.

Yes,
I watched the whole thing live yesterday very surreal - definite tragedy for his family, the sport, and fans.....

Hey All,
Very sad... RIP Dan! My heart goes out to his wife, 2 small children and all the others who held him dear.
I saw the replays and they made me sick. It was crazy! Danica said she saw how crazy it was going to be and backed off. I'll be very curious to see the analysis of this tragedy. I don't think any particular driver was at fault - maybe just the culmination of the last race of the year, a five million dollar bonus (give it to Dan's survivors), lots of cars, a flat track, a tight points race, Danica's final and on a track that hadn't seen Indy cars in years. Terribly tragic!
I was bummed about Jimmie but that is small potatoes compared to this.

Lots of moving parts here but for the most part, the insiders have it right.
And that is:
Baseline Problem: There is no separation
-The cars have too little horsepower.
--They don't have to lift since they run flat out
Back in the CART days, the 900+ HP cars were able to run ovals (not the NASCAR 1.5 miles though) because:
-They achieved separation
-That had tons of horsepower which required drivers to lift

Addendum:
Ovals:
-CARTs glory days on ovals included Nazareth, Milwaukee, Pocono, & Phoenix.
-CART refused to run Texas - some feel that this was the warning for the mile-1.5 NASCAR tri-ovals.
