Bill Bader Jr. "we are going to open"

[Bruce Noland]

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.

10 people max. All the rest is fluff. Bader could care less about a Summit Race or a test'n tune. He wants the bucks that only a mega event can bring in and he ain't getting it until the Governor says he can. And as a side note most governors are now saying that there will be no large sporting events until fall of 2021.

I don't recall BB saying what he wanted to open with.
A track that size wouldn't make any money from a Summit race, with the cost of glue, crew, etc. However , I would give the local help a paycheck , so they would still be available for the bigger events, down the road.
I guess I'm just the type who doesn't like to assign nefarious motives to a businessman trying to save his business.

And likely kill one or two.

I suppose . This virus and several other are not going away permanently, ever.
I suppose someone could catch it at a campaign rally , debate audience, or polling place, later this year too.
Probably then, the best thing for Trump to do, is declare another state of emergency, issue an executive order, and suspend all campaigns and election for one year.
Ya in?

Mark, Trump can't do that and even if he could
or if the election is cancelled due to another pandemic flare up, he and Pence would automatically be out of office in January 2021, when their terms expire. Then after a bunch of head scratching the next President would be Senator Patrick Leahy from Vermont. And the Dems would own the Senate. Mostly because a cancelled election would at least temporarily empty the House. And all Senate races would be cancelled as well. And more Republicans would be ousted which turns the control of the Senate over to the Dems. All this going on while each state is trying to figure out the electoral college. Ya in?
