Rumor is that a road race of some sort is being postponed and the racing association wanted that specific date and paid $$$$$ money for that date. Therefore, Sonoma is doing what they can to make more money, cant say that I blame them if in fact that is the case.

What a moronic thing to say!

As someone who intended to attend this race (and have several times in the past), it would be nice if this thread were to include useful information rather than turning into a political rant. Obviously, a lot of scheduling problem arose regarding racing schedules last year and continue into this one. I don't really care why or who is to blame, maybe we can concentrate on just useful information.

In addition to being moronic; he can't spell Pelosi correctly.

2. If #45 would've responded to Covid the way #43 & #44 did with SARS, & Ebola, we probably wouldn't be having this thread or any like it (and racing would be going on as it should), but no one will realize or recall that huh? Interesting....

Gary, you are a nice guy, but bringing politics into a subject without facts, makes you look bad.

Since you brought up politics, I wish would have done some research for the facts instead of pointing fingers without facts or just not bring up the subject, understanding that you have the right to voice your opinion.

The California fires did not have anything to do with Trump. As usual, irresponsible democrats leaders always blame Trump to cover their ineptitude.

As regards to SARS and Ebola, Obama did not have to do anything. There were only 11 cases of Ebola from 2014 to 2016. The pandemic was not worldwide, it was just in Africa.

When SARS hit the world, only 8000 cases in the USA and Obama was not even president at the time. It took place in 2003.

Do not compare these events to COVID-19, which was created in a lab. It does not matter if Trump, Obama, Biden or whomever was in power at the time would have been able to contain it, especially when the country that create it the virus denied it for a long time.

Like Sgt. Friday (Jack Webb) said on the series Dragnet - "Just the facts mam!!!"
In this case, just needed racing info, please.

GLENDORA, Calif. – The NHRA Pacific Division announced today a number of changes to events in the second half of the 2021 season. The continuing COVID-19 restrictions which have impacted us all since early 2020 have hampered our scheduling and as we move closer to gaining full release of these restrictions, we continue to work with our NHRA Member Tracks regarding not only drag racing events, but other events and opportunities that have risen to the forefront. This will unfortunately impact our Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series double-header events at Sonoma Raceway and Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park for 2021 and require rescheduling of those events, which in turn will also impact events at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Tucson Dragway.

The changes begin with the LODRS double-header originally scheduled for Sonoma Raceway July 15-18. This event will no longer work as planned in July and with limited dates available has required us to relocate the event to The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, another Speedway Motorsports family facility. The date for that event will be October 7-10. This will also mean a change to the Tucson Dragway LODRS event which will now be held one week later on October 14-15 and include a single-day National Open race on October 16. The LODRS double-header event at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park is moving from October to its new date of September 9-12. This change will impact the Division 7 JDRL Finals scheduled that same weekend in Las Vegas which will now be held one week later on September 17-19.

“While it’s unfortunate to have to make changes this far into a season, and after how everything played out in 2020 with a busy fall, we felt these changes will least impact and benefit both the facilities involved and the racers attending our Division 7 events later this season,” said Pacific Division Director Mike Rice. “Division 7 is always the place to race for LODRS competitors at the end of the year and I look forward to the challenge these changes provide.”
