Seeing as Georgia has started opening up more than other states I’m a little surprised they postponed Commerce. As a NHRA track and with a likely high car count they’re leaving a lot of $ on the table. Sounds a little off to me but with NASCAR backing away from a fan-less race in May perhaps no organization wants to be first to sponsor an event. Liability insurance perhaps is the sticking point, a litigation happy culture the culprit.

Could very well be the Hangover Nationals in January before anyone races again.

Maybe NHRA needs to have a system where we start an account with a credit card when we arrive at the race it charges our account. No cash transactions at the gate. You just tell them your membership number and how many crew and it charges your acct.

I feel with GA and TN opening up we will learn quite a bit in the next 2-4 weeks....results we can see for ourselves...
either it is going to go good or really bad..... if goes good then we should see things start loosening up..... if it goes bad... we may not see a racetrack this year... I pray it goes good... first.... for health.. second.....for the mental health....third... for the financial..... fourth..so we can hopefully get back to some kind of normal.... sorry I'm a stick guy.... I'm really good @ counting to four Last edited by Mike Taylor 3601; 04-25-2020 at 02:06 PM. Reason: addition |

Maybe I’m too simplistic but Chic-fil-A (and others but might as well use the best) had most of their logistical issues figured out within 24 hours. They do get within 6 feet but you’re at arm’s length at least. You give them your order and then swipe your credit card while they hold their device toward you to swipe. Shortly thereafter they’ll hand you a receipt or not as you prefer. Sure they could text you that info if they had your “chicken club” member on file. (Same can go for time slips). There’s always going to be an exchange of some sort because I want my chicken and they want my money. The proximity deal gets tested more come Monday when sit down restaurants open in Georgia at least. If reasonable precautions are taken there shouldn’t be a problem. If people don’t want to see friends greet each other in close proximity then they probably need to stay home. I’m personally taking a lot of precautions because my son is in a high risk group but at some point everyone needs to decide if they’re going to start taking some measured amount of risks or stay sheltered for another year when a vaccine is available. There are no guarantees beyond grace, taxes and death.

As of this morning, 50,000+ people in the U.S. have died from COVD-19 in a little more than 6 weeks. During the average flu season, 50,000+ people die in the U.S. in the 6 months that the flu season usually lasts. 6 months is 26 weeks; so the flu kills 50,000+ people in 26 weeks, while COVID-19 has killed 50,000 people in 6 weeks. Those numbers are from the CDC; do you still think this is fake?

The weather here in Las Vegas is on the warming tread. Wed high will be 101 degrees. Nevada as a whole has been past the peak for the virus for about a week. If heat helps there you go.
I wonder about these numbers when every day we average. Every day we hit about the same numbers of new cases and deaths. Yeah right! Does show some serious weaknesses in our nursing home care. Very sad. We can't go golfing in Nevada. I take it because everyone ends up at the hole. It's 95 degrees out! They closed our drive-in because some kids were having too much fun running around. Holy cow! My yard is well managed right now anyway, Paul Haszlauer |
