2020 Summernationals

[LM1]

With the governor of IL saying there won’t be any gatherings of more than 50 until there is a vaccine, will the Summernationals be cancelled this summer. Or is it possible for WRG to make enough off of PPV to make it work?

[bullring]

The whole tour going to be run at I-55. Will save a lot on gas money though

[grt74]

no matter what, its going to be a rough year

[Shiny Side Up 18]

I don't think we'll see a single competitive lap turned anywhere in IL this year. The writing is on the wall.

I'm very concerned about the impact this will have on an already financially challenged industry.

[NeedforLMspeed]

Everything has been operating without a vaccine for aids/HIV either....

Yeah exactly right but not just racing absolutely no SPORTING event period

[intel8]

If Illinois governor Pritzker has his way we'll be locked down all summer. Scheduling nightmare, but plenty of tracks in eastern Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin to have nice schedule.

[One Man Gang]

When is next election in Illinois for Governor ?

I hope things get better in a month or so and they get some races in. I always look forward to traveling to Illinois to see some good shows at Macon, Fairbury, etc.

illinois gov has to keep his local economy tanked since its an election year. i doubt any racing will happen there either, at least not before fall

Wolf is doing the same thing in PA. He participating in Democrat's next scam on America by trying to ruin the state's economy until the election. And he's doing a pretty good job of it. Hopefully all of the Republican run states and WV since Justice is pretty conservative will be open pretty soon.

Tracks have called his office only to be told no practices, races, and no timeline. I'm not sure what's going to happen in WV this summer either.

When did America become so selfish? We are quickly heading towards 100,000 deaths in 2 months from Covid-19. I want racing back just as bad as any other person but to me life and death is more important than some summer nationals race in July in Illinois.

[STRONGERTHANDIRT]

With 33 million filing for unemployment in just 2 months, no one will have the money to go to any races. Just don't know if things will ever be like they were before. Sad.

[WisWildManFan]

Whole thing is f@cking stupid. Work with 3,000 people still don’t know anyone that knows anyone that has died from this. Hospitals are laying people off where I live. No elective surgeries no people in the ER. My work is offering separation packages to 55 and older and 10 years of service. Already have 15 furlough days for rest of year and now layoffs will be coming. They managed to f@ck trumps economy up good.

[CIRF]

Governor fat ass said yesterday that the Illinois State Fair in Springfield and the Du Quoin State Fair in Southern Illinois are "highly unlikely" to take place. The Springfield State Fair runs from the 13th thru the 23rd of August and Du Quoin runs from August 28th thru September 7th. It's a safe bet that if he's all but putting the kibosh on the fairs thru early September the chances of any gatherings of any kind thru the summer are slim, at best.

If the whole summer of racing is out the window this could put in jeopardy even the most solvent of promoters.

When it affects people the most with underlying health issues which can be similar to the flu and the recovery rate is in the high 90% rate. And 100,000 deaths out of 330 million people.

The sad part is you have american citizens who are Democrat who are protesting their government to open back up will most likely vote Democrat again next time around still

[Dlmfan123]

With 33 million filing for unemployment in just 2 months, no one will have the money to go to any races. Just don't know if things will ever be like they were before. Sad.People in pa are making an extra 600 a week +regular unemployment. And quite a few are making more now on employment then they make working. It's a shame

[WisWildManFan]

Democratic way of life make people depend on the handout

[over4T]

mccreadiefan39's post hit it exactly on the bullseye.

Our state (CA) has over 10% of the US population and to date just over 2,100 deaths known, granted a very small percentage and I personally don't know a one of them but if even one was a family member or friend, co worker or such it would be too much. We've done a pretty good job out here, considering political parties' squabbling as in all states. Fact is neither major party has had much to brag about in the last 20 or 30 years.

I've been in this racing thing for 60+ years, have 2 cars ready to go and had a very nice and varied schedule with several new tracks we were excited about and, at my age, probably not too many seasons left and it's looking like the 2 races we got in January and February may be it. Yet I will, if not with joy, kiss this season adios without too many tears if it gets our country healthy even one day sooner.

[NeedforLMspeed]

Pretty sure the death toll numbers are inflated some. Didn't someone die of a stroke or heart attack but had traces of Covid-19 so they ruled the death from that.

[Pennsboro32]

Pretty sure the death toll numbers are inflated some. Didn't someone die of a stroke or heart attack but had traces of Covid-19 so they ruled the death from that.There's been several reports stating that some hospitals marked it down as covid death even if they just had a symptom of the virus. You could have cancer and get covid, then die and get marked as died from covid.

[dmr37]

Not sure where Indiana stands on reopening, but if Illinois is shut down, would some promoter consider having races at a closed up track over there? I'm thinking about the track in Boswell, Indiana.

It should be up to individuals how to handle their health. 99.95% of people survive the virus. Just like the flu. Everything we do has a risk element, that doesn't mean our freedoms and quality of life should be destroyed "to keep us safe". Open the tracks...if you want to go racing then great. If not, stay home.

[jr29]

Maybe....just maybe....the dumbest comment I've ever seen in my life.

Races are happening in California but not Tennessee or Mississippi. Those democratic governors in Tennessee and Mississippi are really screwing things up............wait......

We are gonna zoom past 100,000 deaths I believe.

I want to go racing in a big, big way. I'm not sure if packing the grandstands is the right way to do it though. We are gonna have to make some sacrifices for a while.

All of those numbers are inflated. The CDC told hospitals to classify all Covid, flu, and pneumonia deaths as Covid deaths. The hospitals make more money that way. We'll never know how many Covid deaths there truly were, but you know it's less than the high numbers they're reporting to keep the unnecessary fear mongering going.

Nobody in the history of Earth has been accidentally butt ****ed, but a lot have been coughed or sneezed on/around. That’s a terrible comparison.

That being said, you can’t wait for a vaccine that may or may not come. You don’t get herd immunity by staying home. Ramp up testing/tracing, wash your hands, respect people’s space, and live your life.

I loathe how political this has become. If this were happening in 2018 as opposed to 2020 I’d imagine the stance taken by many would be different.

[Pennsboro32]

100% BK, Nailed it.

[jr29]

I agree with a lot of that BK.

And it was the worst comparison ever.

[50Dixon50]

Pretty sure the death toll numbers are inflated some. Didn't someone die of a stroke or heart attack but had traces of Covid-19 so they ruled the death from that.

According to what I've found out their are some hospitals paying more money for their employees to record a death of natural causes as covid-19 to inflate the numbers up

[jr29]

I don't doubt that there are cases of hospitals putting out phony test results. I don't think it's widespread though.

[WisWildManFan]

According to this in 2017 the US had 7,708 deaths on average a day. 7708 x 60 is 462,480. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/wr/mm6826a5.htm

Freedom is such a selfish thing????

[Clayton_Wetters]

So the Florida beaches getting invaded has resulted in no deaths, you know CNN and the usual cohorts would be there making it 24/7 news if there one sick person.

Yes COVID is a little worse than a severe flu, but to most it is not. There are people that get infected that do not even get sick.

[WildBill32]

The numbers are very much inflated... Try and find the numbers of how many deaths have happened since this China viras started in the USA of people who of died from the Flu Heart attacks ect. They are no were to be found... I will wait... People want there freedoms back! Life & libertys and the right to assemble. It's time to get back to life as we once new it. And it's time to get back to Dirt Track Racing as well. Imo...

I heard earlier this week that a girl went on spring break in Florida then went home to Mississippi and gave it to people in her church. One of the people died.
There you go.

[Clayton_Wetters]

If people don't demand an end to this lock down, there won't be no Summer Nationals. Illinois is a key state for this series and who sees them allowing racing to resume?

I'm not expecting to see any racing in Illinois this year unless somebody overrides Doughboy. I'm hoping Wisconsin can pull something off so I don't have to drive to Missouri all summer to see a race.

I'm worried about the Libs next attack. People die going to and from work. People die in accidents at work. People die from heart attacks caused by the stress from work. People get fired from work and go shoot the place up and kill people. How long before they just outlaw work?

People die every day from a lot of different things. If they reported cancer deaths, flu deaths, Pneumonia deaths it might look the same. 70,000 people would barely populate a small town in the midwest. Enough of the lockdown. You want to watch racing at the track, you should be able too. You don't, that is fine too. You can stay home. Life goes on and it is time for it to on with our freedoms in tact.

jr29, Don't know where you got your information but there are no races going on in California and aren't likely to be any for a long while. Nearly all of our tracks are on state fairgrounds property and, off hand I can only think of about 5 that aren't and one of those is on a reservation (Indian or Native American as you choose). There is 0% chance of the fairgrounds tracks running until this mess is a lot better

The best there is are a couple of the private ones opening to rentals with only a coupe of cars. The granddaughter's boyfriend is a motocross guy and has been to a couple river bottom playdays with no spectators and says it was strange.

Hope your state(s) stay safe and can open at an appropriate time.

I am not affiliated with either party, but it is not just Democratic governors. For example, Iowa has a Republican governor and they are not allowed to have fans either.

Hopefully, they will get a vaccine by the end of the year and we can get back to the old normal next year. For now the new normal is going to be a mixed bag, based upon outbreaks in the various states.

[TS FAN]

vaccine going to be hard to come up with in this type of strain from what I am understanding. What is not hard, letting business open back up. Dems Gov likely to not go along, Power Power.

That's the point I've been trying to make. Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama are all very red states with republican governors and I don't think any racing is being allowed at all. With or without fans there is no racing.
California has a democratic governor and at least one track is racing. Louisiana has a democratic governor and I believe there is some racing going on there. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
It's not a total red /blue thing but some on here are making it one at every turn.

[over4T]

jr29, You are correct that Marysville's Facebook says they are racing per a post last night. Hadn't seen that since I seldom look at Facebook but I'm surprised that my phone wasn't ringing off the hook about it since it's only 34 miles from our home base and we are regulars on Saturday night there for years in Super Stocks/Limited LMs when we aren't out of town at a Tour race.

It is one of the privately owned joints I mentioned in my last post and my son and I are good friends with the owners. It is also in Yuba County which opened a lot of businesses yesterday, much to the displeasure of our Governor. The 3 counties, including them, in that area have had only double digit cases and one death. With a population of some 175,000 in the 3 there also has been minimal to no testing done there.

The same can be said of the northeast corner of the state, Modoc County, population 9,000, which also ignored state guidelines and opened. Zero cases with zero testing. One race track in Cedarville, literally spitting distance to Oregon, 1/4 dirt with one race a year, the Tri State Pro Stock Challenge, which is one of our favorite ones to run. That was cancelled yesterday. The Tri State series had a nice 12 race schedule in NorCal, northern Nevada and southern Oregon this year. So far 2 races in and 5 cancelled and the other 5 waiting to see.

Don't know what classes will be at Marysville if it happens but at least one or 2 Sprint classes and IMCA Sport Mods are a good bet. With a daughter, daughter in law, sister and granddaughter all in nursing/ medical fields we'll listen to their advise over the politicians and not be there. Better to err on the caution side...

jr29, I don’t doubt the spring break deal one bit but I do know in the county I live in about 50 miles south of you there was some elder church members of a MB church went to Chicago to a church conference in March and brought the $hit back with them and infected about 30 members and 8 of them died. Supposedly been 10 people in our county that has died from it and 8 from that church and the other 2 caught it from acquaintances from the church. If it wasn’t for that trip to the conference our numbers would only be about 25 cases with 0 deaths

Well:Dif it isn't the (King of social media) grammar police. Before you call out someone, you might want to learn how to use a capital letter.
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. smdh

His whole post was a grammatical nightmare. lol

I really can't see any Summer nationals races happening in the State of Illnois in 2020. The Governor of the State threatened the people of the State yesterday saying... If you don't abide by the lockdown orders. You could and will be held accountable. I have a finger for this Governor... And it's not the finger saying he's number one!

[Highside Hustler25]

It's still a month away so we'll see. Maybe a shorter schedule beginning in July.

[Clayton_Wetters]

Sorry to say but that Ill Governor will not let them run in July, wait and see.

Time to start piecing together a tour of the best tracks in MO, IA & IN. Quite a few good ones to choose from. Sadly we here in the Peoples Republic of Pritzker will have to travel this summer to get our race on.

[LM1M]

Could have a few in WI and TN too

[NeedforLMspeed]

No way will the tour run through IL and the 2 stops in MI even though there is 3 but Butler will probably cancel anyway. They must've been desperate for another track and let Butler have one even after the debacle with the Ethanol event

I agree, a lot could happen in a month.

[LM1]

I think it’s safe to say UMP should avoid scheduling races in IL for this years tour but we are approaching 2 weeks until the scheduled start and they haven’t said ONE WORD about 2020. Maybe they are still working on tracks but I think for both fans and drivers I think it would be in their best interest to communicate what they are working on. If they were going to cancel they should have done it by now.

Does a track have to be ump sanctioned to get a summer nationals date cause where I live their is a good 3/8 red clay track but not ump sanctioned

[WisWildManFan]

Wilmot isn’t a ump track

[d-glenn]

Races are happening in California but not Tennessee or Mississippi. Those democratic governors in Tennessee and Mississippi are really screwing things up............wait......

jr29, you may have been informed wrong, Duck River (TN) raced Sunday night with a full house and Thunderhill was the same Saturday night. The Mag (MS) also ran Saturday night and AL opens this weekend.

[Zonks32x]

Tell me again, why they can't race at the same track on back-to-back nights!?!?

Let's make this simple.
4 or 5 weekends
Thur/Fri at one track
Sat/Sun at the next

Less travel for race teams and fans...and if ever there was a year where that made sense, it's 2020.

Find 10 tracks that are open and allowing fans, and get it done.

[thexfactor0210]

You know Pevely, Oakshade, Brownstown, and a few others would be happy to host doubleheaders

FWIW: Tennessee has a republican Govenor.
