Well you always have the option to shelter at home if you choose. Seems most of America is tired of this crap and wants to get on with life. The economic impact will be worse for most than the virus. Here in Florida the governor has already started to back off on restrictions. Some of the beaches are opening and they are talking about opening restaurants back up real soon. I can tell you I have worked every day and moved about as needed. We do our best to distance at work. We have about 75 working on the job every day and no one has come up sick in the last month. In the past two weeks I have seen a definite increase in traffic on the roads so people are out and about more than they were at the start.

The COVID-19 is real and should not be taken Lightly. My wife works in the surgical dental field and has been off work since March 17th and MIGHT get to go back to work till maybe May 4th if all goes well. All the staff in the office are convinced they were exposed to it earlier however, no signs by anyone and they cannot get tested either way.

I have a friends car in my shop right now that we just finished and the owner and his wife came down with it in March and testing was confirmed Late March they had it and are SLOWLY getting better. He explained to us it's very painful and nothing like he's experienced before. They probably won't be healthy enough till May to get out.

My concern is some do not take this seriously enough and things get opened too soon and we lose what progress has been made. Until there is a vaccine for it, who the heck really knows.

I've had 4 good friends die of this Hoax. Tell their families that this isn't real.

The track is in the City of Pomona and their mayor is Tim Sandivol. LA Mayor has no say.

The Fairplex is closed until June 1. Nothing has been announced for June and beyond. It wouldn't be a surprise to see it remain closed for an extended period of time.

As far as racing is concerned, can nhra survive this pandemic? nhra, like most not for profit outfits, squanders most of its earnings on its top executives each year and may not be holding enough cash reserves to weather this storm. There has been no word on layoffs from nhra so we must assume it is ok for now. But how long can it hold on is the question?

The first tentative divisional races are one month away. What is happening in Atlanta, Georgia and Almo Dragway in Texas as far as shut downs? Motels, restaurants and now borders?
A month from now half the restaurants could be out of business. The governor of California is considering cancelling all sporting events. Waiting to open the country's doors til May 1st seems crazy too me. So many folks need help now and not because they have the virus.

Looking for some light sooner than May,

Speaking of Pomona Drag Strip, they used it Monday or Tuesday. Not for its originally intended purpose, but as a distribution point for dispensing paper products, diapers, food stuffs and whatever else. People drove up one lane and the staff of the distribution had tables set upon a long line in the other lane and dispensed things people needed as they drove up. I immediately recognized the place, and it was a good use for the track to borrow it to help someone else. They only use the track twice a year for the two national events, so it just sits the rest of the year.Might put us in a better public eye.
