First four LODRS races postponed

Liability insurance perhaps is the sticking point, a litigation happy culture the culprit.

Probably just a little too soon yet. They have some logistics to work out before we get back to racing. Issues with tech. Fuel check. Time slips. One of the tracks said they had a way to send the time slips electronically with some sort of an app. Also how to deal with payment at the gate. They need to get the Q sheets and ladder sheets available online so we don’t have to congregate at the trailer to see that info.
Maybe NHRA needs to have a system where we start an account with a credit card when we arrive at the race it charges our account. No cash transactions at the gate. You just tell them your membership number and how many crew and it charges your acct.
