  • 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.

Why Didn't They Start The 500 Earlier?

They won't do that because a lot of people would miss a portion of the beginning while they are stuck out on the freeway.

In a couple hours if it is still raining just switch over to the NHRA in Az. I can assure you it's not raining here.
 
Wouldn't have made much difference. When they do start a race early, based on weather, it's never more than 30 minutes or an hour early. Probably lots of legal stuff involved, like TV schedules and such. Looking like a Monday Daytona 500 at this point...
 
The Daytona 500 features a lot of pre-race festivities and music, that costs money, fans pay big money for the tickets to see it, so NASCAR is not going to short the fans on the entertainment.

NASCAR did get the race restarted and it ran for the full 500 miles. It was a great finish with Junior in first and Hamlin in second.
