I don't see going to a drag race as any more probable for exposure than WalMart, Walgreen's, or the grocery store.

The amount of exposure going to a drag race would depend on the number of people in attendance. There will be thousands in attendance at the National event in late June, sitting side by side in the grandstands, which would create a much higher chance for exposure than being in a Walmart, Walgreen's or grocery store. However, late June is two months from now; so we will have to see what progress is made in containing this disease.

I agree Dwight I dont trust the goverment one bit

This is just more of Bader grandstanding. There will be dozens of police cars at the Norwalk track if he attempts to open the gates. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he would get himself arrested just for the press. But you can bet your Stimulus check/direct deposit that the track will remain closed as long as the Governor wants it closed. All the rest of his stuff is hooey.

Actually agree with some of this.
But maybe it's actually "pushing the envelope" ,in a political sense.
Seems reasonable that they could run a Summit series race, within a month's time.
Huge seating capacity for very few, adequate precautions. Entirely possible to do, in my experience.
It may come down to a push and shove match, but I hope not.

Perhaps you ought to define "greed" for us.

Perhaps you will understand this and perhaps you won't. In this context greed is anybody willing to risk the life of another human being for the sake of a GD dollar. Do you understand that?

Sounds pretty cut and dried.
However , real life never quite adds up that way.
An owner /operator could push his rig right up against fed. hourly regs , in order to feed his family. He could still fall asleep and kill somebody. Was he being greedy?
The question is meant to be rhetorical. BN's opinion would , most likely be 180 deg. out of phase with MY's.

Scale seems to be a problem for you. Comparing a single truck driver to a cat who wants to pack in tens of thousands of people is a bit of a stretch. No, it's a hell of a stretch.

"Pack in tens of thousands" Sounds a bit extreme.

However , not my question..Therefore not an answer.

"Perhaps you will understand this and perhaps you won't. In this context greed is anybody willing to risk the life of another human being for the sake of a GD dollar. Do you understand that?"

Direct quote from BN..hence my question.

thousands of people for opening....test n tune ..A points meet...give me a G.D brake !

If a track opens I feel as though I'm capable of making a good decision as to weather I can attend an open air event safely or not. Heck, I could even wear a mask and gloves. If I had health issues, I'd stay home. I'm comfortable with making decisions for myself.
