Re: NHRA plans to have fans in the stands
This evening The Florida governor announced his phase 1 plan to start to reopen the Florida economy. Starting Monday he is allowing retail and restaurants to open at 25% capacity. Restaurants can have regular inside dining at 25% capacity. Outside dining is also allowed with proper social distancing. Retailers are allowed to open at 25% capacity as well. He spoke of some pro sports resuming with out spectators but no mention of any drag racing. He did mention NASCAR, UFC and Major League Baseball could possibly happen in the near future with out fans in attendance. He also said elective surgery and medical procedures could resume as there is plenty of hospital beds available. We have just over a month before the rescheduled Gatornationals so that gives some time for some more relaxation of the shut down to possibly allow spectators at the Gainesville race. Most likely they would want to restrict the amount of fans to possibly about 50% capacity. This is some good news from Governor Desantis

Re: NHRA plans to have fans in the stands
I'm kinda reading into it that maybe they would not allow pit access for spectators but ?

Re: NHRA plans to have fans in the stands
I like what I read, what I liked the most NO STUPID COUNTDOWN...do away with it permanently.....
I hope they can get started and I like that they want the fans there and want and are trying to figure out how to keep access as close as possible... |

Re: NHRA plans to have fans in the stands
I think this is being taken completely out of context. What Cromwell said was he'd LIKE to have fans in the stands, but I don't know how that could happen and follow any CDC rules. I didn't see anywhere where it says we WILL be racing in Gainesville in June. Not to say it won't happen, but I'm not yet getting my hopes up yet. There's nothing I'd like to see more than for us to get back to the normal we had two months ago, but it appears to be getting more unlikely as the days and weeks go by.
