Because a lot of them were already there when the decision was made to cancel. In addition, the reason for cancelling the event was to avoid putting spectators into the stands.

True, sad but true.

It would certainly appear that we are all on hiatus for awhile, most tracks seem to be canceling their programs as well. Might be a good time to do some testing, I could certainly use it and will contact SGMP about the possibility....if others hear of tracks that are willing to rent for testing please start a thread.

I flew in Thursday. Matt Hagen was on my flight, and told us about the rescheduling. I got to Gainesville, had a cheeseburger and a shake, spent the night, and flew home Friday. Congratulations to all the sportsman winners. Wish I could have been there.

Well it is getting serious here in Las Vegas. They first closed all schools about an hour ago. Now Steve Winn closed all his casinos and MGM did the same thing. Not sure how long this will last but getting a room might be a problem. I would start to watch for the NHRA cancellation soon.

It was originally predicted that this disease could inflict half the population of this Country, that's 150 million people.

At a 2% death rate that's approx 3 million people and this disease is said to be most detrimental to seniors.
