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.

Hey All,
Wombat I don't know of a nickname snively for the gas man. Suffice to say the gas man was one heck of driver - a huge fan favorite because of his independent mind and hard charging ways and cursed with some real bad luck. He was at his best in a subpar car just like Dale and that is why I always liked him as a driver and as a person because of his spirit and independence and he was my shop teacher. :d Of course at the time I was so young I was pretty clueless - don't have that excuse anymore! :costumes:
-Ed-
PS His brother was a good driver and was a one time rookie of the year in the Indy 500.

Like I said Ed, I'm working from memory ........ the face looks very much like Tom Sneva to me, who was dubbed 'Snively' by one of my old FF1600 sparring partners, Ron Baderly (father of golfer Aaron), when Ron was on Sneva's crew.
Ron has only ever had good things to say about Tom Sneva, both on and off the track.
IIRC correctly, and I'm probably not, Tom Sneva drove a white March 82 in the early 1980s under the banner off 'Texaco Star', a right pretty race car and pretty damn quick with Snively at the helm.
