Where are the PROs ....

[MR DERBY CITY]

Only 4 PROS entered for the Gators ...Could this be retaliation for NHRA cutting the purse last year ? I realize we are weeks away but this seems very strange ....

I agree; and only 1 entry in Pro Mod, 4 in TAD, and 2 in TAFC.

Unlike Class Racers, they're not the least bit worried about their quota numbers.

No reason for them to register before the Monday preceding the event, if Gainesville isn't allowed a large number of spectators it may get postponed anyway. For the Super Bowl this weekend in Tampa they're only allowing 5,000 and doubt it will happen if limited to that number. Just the harsh reality...but good news the Divisional races in D2 are still a go.

I have read anywhere between 13,000 and 22,000 fans will be allowed at the Super Bowl. Included in that number is 7500 vaccinated health care workers. I believe the Gators will happen as it is definitely a governor FRIENDLY state. After the Gators, all bets are off as RUMORS are already circulating regarding a NHRA National event shutdown .... the key word is RUMORS ....

Thanks for the correction MJ...hope to see you at the races at some point this year.

Last week on the news a doctor talking about vaccinations said it protects you, not others. That you could very well still be a spreader like "Typhoid Mary" after getting the shots. Will that change how the states relax crowd quotas?

They just opened registration for us after last weeks conference call. The payout structure is actually very fair considering NHRA is going to deal with limited capacity once again this year.

I believe you'll start seeing more teams enter as we get closer. However I don't expect a large turnout in either nitro category.
