Not looking to well out west for racing
 
First the Phoenix race was cancel. Now Tucson is cancelled. The state of Nevada is something like 49th on their Covid relief efforts. The track at this point in las Vegas is closed since last year. Seeing that Pomona hasn't had a great response on entries. I can only think folks know something isn't happening there either. At least the cars won't rust!

Nothing but Bad News out here.

I predicted that several month ago on this Site BUT I was
hoping I would be wrong!

We entered Four Stock and Superstock cars in Pomona =
However, I am not holding my breath on it happening.

Plus I am concern how long NHRA can survive on a diminished revenue stream
and significant fixed costs if the Covid persists through the entire year!

Yes: I was a College Business Professor.

We hope you are feeling better Paul = If you need anything please call us!

Thank you John! I miss you and all my friends. More Doctor visits coming this week. We sure could use a life line out here. I worked so hard to build the Challenger. I feel kinda empty on that project now. Since Larry named his "Dumbo". I was thinking painting it blue and calling it "Moby Dick" or green and calling it "The Incredible Hulk". Seems the fun left the building at this point.

Take care,
Paul

Paul, don’t know what’s going on, but hope all is ok!

Maybe it's just me, but I would think Vegas would be letting everyone know what they were thinking so we could at least make plans to stay out West or to head East....JMO

Probably wise to caravan with Mike and Paula....and be prepared to stay in the Southeast a while, racing starts in four days.

I think for us the Western Swing will not happen. So sad, Patsy really likes the wine tours!

The Track is at the mercy of the State of Nevada and I do not think
that they are even close to a decision this far in advance!

As usual = I hope I am wrong.

However, without substantial spectator participation - The Track has
no desire to host any National Race.

John and Jon there are still 4 spots still open in Superstock in Georgia. Swing by and pick me up. The blues from the Blue states are rough. Personally just battling high blood pressure. Go Figure!

Not trying to rile anyone up.....My point was, why doesn't track (Las Vegas) management offer some incite, (maybe once a month?) so local racers know how to plan for TNT's, Bracket races, etc.? Wasn't speaking about the Lucas or National events. I completely understand the need for spectator participation to make these events viable. I just think a bit of communication would be helpful.
