Very true Jeff, but Norwalk is the exception rather than the rule.

Sorry to say, but I'm just not very optimistic that they're going to be able to hold National events in the middle of a pandemic where we don't have enough testing capability and aren't even remotely close to having a vaccine. I do think LODRS events are a real possibility with the proper plans in place. Unfortunately, I don't think their (NHRA board) main concern are "grass roots" racers.

Jim, I don't think they care about the Pro's either, and I'm not so sure that they should. We have to remember that NHRA is a business. Because they don't have a major TV contract( in fact it's inverse, they pay), National
Events are going to be tough to pull off this year, at least until the fall. So like any business, you go where the money is. Right now that is us, points meets can be quite profitable as a "Middle Size" business. They may need to scale Glendora down to a "Middle Size" expense structure for the balance of the year. Serious salary reductions & cutting until it fits the current income model. Indy & the World Finals(maybe in Vegas) might be all they can do this year. We can hope for more! J.R. |

The vaccine for the regular flu sure stopped that!
About time the races get going again, the chances of catching the WuFlu at the track are about the same as getting hit by an errant connecting rod flying from a car and we risk that. |
