Beech Bend Raceway Park news....

[AC]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
