On the other hand, you could be dead right. Do you want to take the chance with you and your family? Is going to a drag race worth infecting one of them?

Like I said, one of us is wrong. Do you want to take the chance for yourself and your family?

Are you going to not leave your house for the rest of your life? At exactly what point are you going to feel safe? |

There is a difference between going out of my house and going to crowded places and large crowds. What is your thought process? Are you thinking that because there is no vaccine right now, why bother waiting? Again, I may be wrong or you may be wrong. If you make the wrong choice and infect yourself and your family will you be OK with it? Would you rather choose to be safe or risk it for a drag race?

To get back on point, and I'm guessing just like everybody else. But NHRA is not the rich ones. Major League Baseball and others will be the canary in the coal mine. IMO. If they fill the stands, so will other organizations. And since everyone will have to be six feet apart and wearing mask, just how many spectators will even go? How many people can you get in there all spread out like that? Imagine a six foot circumference social distance around everyone seated in the stands. Talk about a sparse crowd ! Sounds like a real good way to loose money to me. Can they make enough money just off of TV rights to make it worth while?
I can see them getting points races in, kind of. From what I've seen and the rumor mill, it wont be much fun going. Not being able to mingle around and talk to people. Pit spots 25 feet apart, time tickets on your phones, no gathering at the starting line. Staggered staging lanes, not pulling you from the ready line till the cars spotters/linemen in front of you clears the area. And how do they do fuel check, skip it? How about tech, come to your trailer? To me, all this sounds horrible. Plus it's a risk if your 60 and up or have ANY kind of health issues.. And ****loads of points racers (especially us old class racers) are and do . How many will just stay home and wait for better times. Lots of questions here.

I do not appreciate the rude political posts
in this particular section of Class Racer! I understand the strong diverse options we all hold and I respect them....Nevertheless! This is not Yellow Bullet or the Class Racer Lounge.

Today he feels fine. We have seen masks of all types: pleated fiber, cloth type sewn by some of the wives, turtlenecks and bandanas. I`ve tried both cloth and pleated fiber, the latter are lighter and might flow a little better. In close conversation, its a must to stay covered, but if you work too hard, you might "nose over". We clean with bleach and disinfectant and because we do UV Penetrant inspection in my area, we have Black Lights to wand over keyboards, surfaces etc. I saw a study where in 5700 deaths in NYC, 94% had another illness. It also reported more than 40% of those were obese, and more than 30% had diabetes.I could always do a better job with diet and exercise, and I better stay smart. Say a prayer for all of us.

At the beginning, the NBA was the canary. When the NBA cancelled games, everyone took notice and cancelled other events.
