NHRA plans to have fans in the stands

[bykr]

I'm kinda reading into it that maybe they would not allow pit access for spectators but ?

I like what I read, what I liked the most NO STUPID COUNTDOWN...do away with it permanently.....
I hope they can get started and I like that they want the fans there and want and are trying to figure out how to keep access as close as possible...

Very positive news. I hope this all works out as planned.

“(LODRS events) usually have 300 to 500 cars, and fans can be 2,000 to 5,000 per day,” Cromwell said. “It would allow us the ability to make sure we’re comfortable (to run national events).

I don't know where Cromwell has seen 2,000 to 5,000 fans per day at an LODRS event; 200 to 500 would be a more accurate estimate.

Very true Jeff, but Norwalk is the exception rather than the rule.

I know, I just like to give the guy credit. He certainly deserves it

Sorry to say, but I'm just not very optimistic that they're going to be able to hold National events in the middle of a pandemic where we don't have enough testing capability and aren't even remotely close to having a vaccine. I do think LODRS events are a real possibility with the proper plans in place. Unfortunately, I don't think their (NHRA board) main concern are "grass roots" racers.
