Las Vegas races
 
Looking at LVMS site, the are not letting in any spectators for all 4 of the races.Yet all the casino's are open. Anyone have any first hand knowledge? It also says you have to stay in your pits except to run and teams & crews can only enter and leave together. I always go and buy a crew pass and just cruise around taking pics.

I know they are on sale just like the Nascar race was for this weekend but they cancelled all spectators for that race and are refunding. So as it stands, It looks like they will cancel spectators for the NHRA Finals also.

Things change but I thought NHRA would not run a National event with no spectators.

With the Coke deal going south they might pull the plug yet but keep in mind with the dramatic cuts in the Pro purse the 300 plus sportsman entries can cover the purses. Imagine Bruton will have input but the Sportsnationals and the D7 Division race will draw huge fields that will undoubtedly make the track money.

LVMS is an expensive track to operate.
They can not make money without spectators.
I would not be surprised to seen them cancelled everything
if no spectators by then OR at least the Nationals at
a minimum.

It would destroy our points and entry Stats for this
year = AND will not have grade points to race Nationals
next year.

Rumor floating around Gainesville this weekend is if Las Vegas doesn't happen the Finals will be moved to FLA.

While I certainly would never rule anything out during this crazy year, if moved Houston or Dallas would certainly be more centrally located.

That being said as long as the casinos are open in Las Vegas I would think not allowing spectators at an outdoor event seems a little far out.

But again this is 2020.

Wonder if the racetrack is in a different county as the casinos ?

Would not surprise me if the World Finals were held @ Indy

The track wanted or tried for 15,000 fans at the Nascar race this weekend and got zero.

I think a lot of the races like WCHRA (and divisional races) at Vegas don't really have many spectators, so I think they can make $ with no spectators for the smaller non-Nationals events.

LVMS still hasn't got approval for spectators at the Finals.

John, it is an expensive track to operate because it is one of the best.... of course, they depend on spectators to spend money, and GAMBLE. That is what they do, and do it well.

I guess the powers can do anything they want, but how could they justify not allowing a socially distanced, masked, outside event when the casinos are open?

Re: Las Vegas races
 
LVMS and several other major NASCAR and NHRA tracks are owned and controlled by Speedway Motorsports which really is the same as saying Bruton Smith and his son.
They have learned that in the world as it is today it is possible to put on a show without spectators and still make money.
Television and Covid 19 restrictions are the key factors.
Casino's and how they operate have almost nothing to do with how they make their decisions. It's all about the show.
NHRA now has a new major sponsor so they are feeling better on their side of the problem.
Stay tuned.

Explain how Casino's go by the Gambling commission but a race track has to follow state guidelines concerning the Chinese virus?

Tickets for the National Event are for sale...

Re: Las Vegas races
 
My sources, which have been 100% accurate with cancellations and reschedules have told me the Vegas National will most likely be cancelled and there will not be another event anywhere in its place. We shall see. I’m hoping they are wrong for the first time this season!

Lenny5160 10-15-2020 12:12 PM

Re: Las Vegas races
 
Multiple sources on Twitter yesterday, and at least one division director today, have stated that the Vegas national is a go!

Re: Las Vegas races
 
The wife looked at LVMS fakebook page and it says they will be allowed spectators and the National Event race is going to take place.
All good news for the racers.
3 weekends in a row of races.

Great news, fans have been approved for the Dodge NHRA Finals presented by Pennzoil Oct. 30-Nov.1! This will be the first fan-attended event in professionals sports in Nevada since the onset of the pandemic.

Tickets are on sale. Get yours today: https://bit.ly/2SZKWnT

Re: Las Vegas races
 
The facility is allowed by the state of Nevada and county officials to have 10% of stated capacity, which equates to 5,000 spectators. That was apparently enough to let NHRA give the go-ahead for the event.
