Trying to stay away from the news and political crap but I watched the Dan Fletcher and Bill Bader interviews. You can see the frustration and yet optimism in there interview. No one is wrong and everyone has an opinion and that is why we live in a free Country. I don't see how large groups are going to be allowed or even a good idea for a while. This is not only going to hurt our hobby but every other entertainment venue from theaters to concerts, as Fletcher stated " This Sucks".

It's going to be a short season if there is a season at all. Let's face it we have all been spoiled. Living in a free country with almost unlimited opportunities we have begun to think that we are entitled. Note the dumbasses that filled the Florida beaches today as there state approaches the peak of their convid19 cases. Our parents and grandparents suffered the great depression and WWII so that we could have what we have. Much as I love to race it's time to do the right thing which changes daily. I give thanks everyday that I have what I have and live where I live. End of rant.

Right now D-2 has 2 races coming up in the schedule. May 15th is the points race in Atlanta and then we have the Sportsman Southern Nationals running in conjunction with the delayed pro Gatornationals in Gainesville on June 5. This is the schedule that has been announced and until it changes this is when the season will resume. Anything else is conjecture. Definitely some fear mongering going on. I guess we will be hearing something about this schedule in the very near future. Personally I am getting my stuff ready to go racing. I have been at work every day since this has started. We have about 75 people working on my job site every day. No one has gotten sick so far. We do attempt to distance as best we can. Last weekend traffic seems like it is getting heavier so people are out and about more now than they were when all of this started. My wife and I were at the local Lowes this weekend. we were getting some stuff for our garden. The place was packed. 8 deep at the check out in the garden center. People were following the social distance recommendation and staying away from each other. A few had masks and some had gloves. Our county is under an order to wear a mask when out in public. very few are doing that and the ones that are not wearing the mask how it would do any good anyway. People are getting tired of the controls that the government is putting on them. Cant do this or that. Cant go to work. If you are afraid of getting the virus than it can be your decision to stay home.

I Think I am done for this season. Maybe if the tracks open I might try to get some seat time before next season starts.
I got lucky, so far I have only been furloughed 2 weeks so far but since i repair aircraft engines it's not looking to good.

My SWAG is the D3 race at Bowling Green followed by the US Nationals. Hope to be pleasantly surprised and racing starts in June but if not don’t see how NHRA will come through this very well without the Indy cash cow.
