That’s assuming the Jegs race is a go at Columbus. Don’t hold your breath....

Unless some of the lawsuits being filed in the state are successful, Gov. Fatazz has race tracks on Phase 5, no opening until a vaccine is found.

TV broadcast is part of All Stars. I am sure their is additional costs to have a film crew show up at Sportsnats.

Also not positive that Ohio will be opened up by July.

Thinking Sportsnats/divisional double might be
Moved to Indy.

Big Show I believe this is the way the Court Stenographer spells the Governor name: Phatazz

I believe given the circumstances surrounding a lot of the states mentioned, NHRA will try and do the right thing. They do have obligations to Jegs and the All-Stars; therefore Indy is probably the most realistic solution. I also believe that NHRA will see the value and purpose behind awarding Class Winners, and even if that is only by way of fast qualifier, so be it for this year. As Mr. Hill stated, we are all more than capable of making "deals" in the lanes during qualifying, should people choose to. Something is better than nothing and as many other racers have stated on here, its not the Big Go(for us) if you don't have class and many will not attend.

They have been running on Wednesday at Indy for how many years? Any real good reason why not this year. Or why not run one time trial on Thursday and go right into class for the second one until we are done. Don't they tear the All-Stars down before they run? Couldn't we run class out on Thursday and they run the All-Stars on Friday? Indy with no class really!! This is what they come up with. Who could agree with that. Barry

It will be a miracle if there even is An Indy at all

Forgive me if I missed something along the way, but when/where did NHRA suggest, indicate or hint that class eliminations at Indy were in jeopardy?
