The Sportsnational Open scheduled for Memorial Day weekend has been cancelled. If Dallas can find an open date later in the year it MAY be rescheduled. The Hot Rod reunion has now been rescheduled for August 20-22. This is the week before the LODRS . ...

After listening to the Gov of Illinois, I would be SURPRISED if RT. 66 in Joliet opened this year....

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

I don't see a race in Joliet. Does anybody know anything about the points meet schedule?

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

I believe the are working on the full schedule to be released next week by NHRA. I know PA government just extended the stay at home till June 4th

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

Depends where in the state you are. Yes Philadelphia is extended.


Stan



Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf extends stay-at-home order until June 4 in all 'red phase' counties

Announcement on next group of yellow counties is coming Friday

Astonished if they have any events at all. His "5 Step Restore Illinois" plan does NOT allow gatherings or festivals of more than 50 people (Step 5) until a vaccine or treatment is found.

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

Some of these stay at home extensions surprise me . 66% of the positive covid test in New York came from people who had stayed at home. The governor was " surprised".

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

Pa. State House of Representatives just introduced a bill (Pa. House Bill 2489) to open up outdoor activities (including motorsports) immediately.

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

I couldn't find that bill under 2489. Do you have a link?

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

That's good news Billy because the county that numidia is in is a red county not yellow . This is driving me nuts

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

I have a call into my Congressman regarding this. I'm patiently awaiting a response.

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

Even if it passes both houses ,what chance does it have of being signed by Reichsmarchall Wolf .

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

Those counties moving to yellow on the 15th right now don't include Columbia county where Numidia Pa is located

Which is why the All Stars are rumored to be taking place in Indy

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

Very interesting Ken, originally a Wednesday to Monday race...my source at NHRA informed me yesterday that The Big Go in 2020 will be a Thursday to Sunday race. In the immortal words of Richard Pryor,....How long can this B S go on ?.......LOL !!!!!

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

Not to add fuel to the fire, but I also heard the rumor that NO CLASS ELIMS at Indy this year....who knows what all (if any) is going to happen this year.

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

Some states are starting to have race events this weekend. I believe in Utah and Texas.

I think any event be it baseball, football, hockey racing whatever isnt going to be the same this year but the way i see it, its better than nothing, ill take the modified version for the rest of this year.

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

Billy,
That is the only way I see it happening.


Several legal challenges to Wolf’s business shutdown have failed, including one that was turned away by the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday.

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

Several tracks in Tennessee are open for business. Going to one this Saturday for Outlaw, 6.0, 7.0 class race. Can't wait. Obviously with what the Governor of N.Y. is finding out is that staying all couped up inside is NOT the correct way of addressing this whole blown out of proportion situation. The villages in Florida, where everyone is above age 55, have had 0 cases! Very limited restrictions in place there. I'm telling you, there is something more to why the government wants us all to not go to work. Fauci needs to be vetted, mark my words, he is part of a BIG situation that the W.H.O. is involved in.

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

WHAT U SAY ? Another RUMOR I heard today was absolutely NO crocs permitted in the staging lanes ??

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

Based on what they are doing at Lucas Oil Dragway with limited entries, I just can't see anything like a NHRA points meet occurring in the near foreseeable future here up north.:mad:

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

Did you miss the part above where it said June 14th NO participant limit?

INDIANA Governor plan is to be 100% open with no restrictions on July 4th.

Unless things take a major turn bad no reason that August Indy divisonal and U.S. Nats don't happen.

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

Almost 80,000 people have died in a little more than 10 weeks with no end in sight; sure doesn't sound blown out of proportion to me.

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

Good ole R. Dean Taylor. Didn't he race a twelve passenger X/SA wagon back in the day? The Father of 'dime racers'.

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

Well stated, my friend. Who made Tony Fauci the Virus Zcar?

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

yep and we havent heard of any other deaths since this started, wonder why that is, guess no one is dying of the flu, heart attacks or cancer these days.

doctor friends of mine say the hospitals are empty but lets just keep on sitting home. At least florida and georgia dont have their heads up their ***.

Re: Beech Bend Raceway Park news....
 

With all of the precaution taken around POTUS, 2 case still showed up in the White House this week. What you have not heard about is how many Secret Service agents have or have had this.
