NHRA plans to have fans in the stands

[Mike Pearson]

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
