Well if you think media is factual I don't know what to say, but here's something to try. I open google and start to type, it ALWAYS makes a "suggestion". I try to search Biden travel Florida and guess what no suggestions, open a different search engine (Bing) and all kinds of suggestions as well as completely different articles concerning Biden's remarks on domestic travel restrictions. Everything Biden says that is ridiculous is buried and tough to find. I side with the remarks of Fl. governor DeSantis.

Sorry, but what you posted is simply not true. Maybe try google again. There are several local TV stations in FL/Miami reporting. Maybe you should look down the page a little when you Google to get past the BS

One thing I know, gas is up 32 cents since Biden took office. The hits are just beginning

I guess this makes the decision to go to SGMP easier for some racers.

Here's a Miami article.
"Officials with the Biden Administration said they are having conversations about anything that could help mitigate spread, including Florida travel restrictions, the Miami Herald reported Wednesday."

Interesting......

Biden administration pushes back on potential Florida travel ...cbs12.com › news › local › biden-administration-pushe..

Doesn't look like any plans in the works for a ban on travel to Florida.

One of the problem in this Country is that people do not deal with facts. In this case, non-facts could result in people changing travel plans, not going on vacation or in this example not going to the races. The title of this thread is not correct..NHRA did not delay "southern events".

Interesting........from on this travel ban rumor actually started..

Despite a headline that reads, “White House looks at domestic travel restrictions as COVID mutation surges in Florida,” the text of the article indicates no such detail.

The Miami Herald article published Wednesday afternoon quotes a White House official answering a question about the virus UK mutation: “...we’re having conversations about anything that would help mitigate spread.”

Several paragraphs later, the article quotes two other officials clarifying that “...no policy announcements are imminent, and that any move to restrict travel or impose new health measures would be taken in partnership with state and local governments.” No such contact has been initiated with Florida state nor local governments. But the headline, amplified nationwide, sparked a harsh, politically-tinged public backlash from Florida leaders at all levels who were unaware that no travel ban is under consideration.
