About time this question was asked!!
It would depend on the scenario for me.
If we were still dealing with the Corona Virus but there were no regulations or anything limiting mass gatherings or anything then I’d have no problem going to the track.
However with all the restrictions and executive orders we have now that are keeping tracks from opening, I would not go and support a track that decided to ignore all of that and run anyway and would be unlikely to attend that track on the future.
Depends on what race and where. Hell yes I would and so wouldn't numerous others...
The scenario has been set. Maybe I should have made the poll anonymous so more people would vote.
But I wanted to see names!!! lol
Any track that would excercise our CONSTITUTIONAL rights by opening I would definitely support. Not allowing businesses to operate is so unconstitutional it's not even funny.
I'd go, but I'd be in the pits interacting with only a couple people and not sitting in the stands next to hundreds of people.
i race, and go by my self half the time. i understand why you cant have a grandstand full of people but it would be nice to be able to have a few practices and just limit people and space guys out
Probably, but I’d be wandering around the pits and stands looking for the least populated area to
Watch.
If you think about it, it would be no different than going into a gas station or just being out in public in general. You don't have to get near anyone while you're at the track. It's pretty easy to keep your distance. If it were a lucas or outlaw show it may be a little harder to pull off, but I would still be going.
Only if they had tier parking
How else are they going to discover the miracle cure for Covid19? Fumes from racing engines kill the virus! Higher octane or alcohol works best.
I'm in Wisconsin and we are not that bad off in the rural areas yet. He!! yes I would go. I'd maybe keep a bit of room between myself and others but I would very much like to go. Instead of another tee shirt I'd maybe buy some custom masks at a vendor trailer (Hint, hint, someone should make these) or a bandana would work.
forgive me , the quote isnt working

you never voted ..... pick yes or no
your non answer is unaccceptable
Tier parking yes
Pits, probably
Stands, nope.
Absolutely not ... unless it was tier parking. And only then if everything about it felt right. In other words ... 99% no. And that probably won’t change for a few months.
I would go but I would also not encourage anyone else to go, That would have to totally be their choice.
Maybe not the right choice, but I would take the chance.
At this point, I’m just hoping to still attend my two favorite race weekends — the North/South and the World 100. That’s August and September, and I’m not at all confident about either.
I'd go. Maybe just wear a jock strap or a baseball cup over your face. The smell from that should be enough to kill some coronavirus.
Easy no given the current reality. If you truly want racing to happen sooner than later, the best thing to do is limit contact with other people and slow the spread of this thing. Racing will start back up once the disease gets under control. As it stands now, it’s not worth the risk. Going to go the track potentially endangers not only yourself, but the other fans, the racers, the track workers, and eventually your family, friends you see, maybe your neighbors, and definitely the people providing those essential services you come into contact with on your supply runs. Racing, like baseball. football, or any other crowd-attended sporting event, just isn’t worth it right now.
I’d be there in a heartbeat. I lived thru the tail end of small pox scares and 8 years of summer polio restrictions on kids. This is peanuts in comparison.
My age and diminished health put me in the high risk category.... but I can take care of myself. A little sanitizer for my hands and don't sit next to anyone sneezing and hacking away and I'm good.
Id rather be behind the wheel but spectating is still ok.
Not a chance, I love racing but I love life more.
The only way it would be no is if I was somewhere where the hospitals are slammed and it's not why you think. It's actually because every now and then we have to send somebody to the hospital from a wreck, accident in the pits. Some other type of trauma related thing and if the first responders are overworked already that would be pretty uncool on our part I think. I mean (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) we don't get enough people at most of the races where we couldn't all sit 6 feet from each other like the CDC says, we could. I'm not really very sure what's going on at home right now and I had a quick second to jump on here. I miss my usual independent news sources.
And there you have it folks. It's the reason why we are still sitting at home. NO ONE LISTENS. So someone has to make that choice for little Johnnie because he lives in a hot bed where this virus is spreading but he thinks the government is out to get him. San Francisco's mayor shut that city down, and the results showed the spread of the virus lessened. The government, the president, there not the ones to blame. Look around, it's the ones that refuse to listen. I think I'm taking a flight to Italy and a cruise coming home. Cya at the racetrack when I get back.
Nope, not yet. And in this litigious society any promoter that did would be in danger of getting drug into court.
If you would have had this poll a few weeks ago I would have said no doubt I would go.....Now NO. My two daughters are working on the Front line at hospitals. One at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore and the other at Dupont Children's Hospital in Wilmington De.....Both have pleaded with me to take this social distancing seriously given my age(61 in two weeks) and the fact I am diabetic. My wife and I worry about them every day as much as they worry about us...I am fortunate to be able to work from home. I've only been outside to work on my yard and take walks through my neighborhood...although chomping at the bit to see a race live.....I CAN DO THIS.
Well it's official...the results of this poll above just confirmed what I have thought about the intelligence level of a majority of 4m members....just plain retarded!
Ok genius, how can anybody prove they got sick at a racetrack? That doesn't make sense at all.
It's scary how many of you are drinking the Kool Aid and doing exactly what the fake news media mob want you to do, which is beg the government to take away your Constitutional freedoms. You should have paid more attention in history class so that you'd realize that's more dangerous than a virus.
The CDC and the media have become the all-knowing gods to many people.
Forget about it. Fear stops you from enjoying life.
Nice weather is coming and we are about to divide into two new factions, those that want to get out and enjoy life and those that are fearful and want everyone staying inside.
You can probably guess which faction I'll be in.
Human behavior is fascinating. The current mob mentality is fascinating. Human behavior to the lack of control is fascinating. A society in fear clearly becomes a herd.
Def No for me. You’re just pro longing everything from getting back to normal. How is it unconstitutional? The very same constitution grants states the power to order shelter-in-place and other measures. You can’t just take a piece of the constitution and ignore other parts.
Anyone that would jeopardize not only their life but the lives of others to go to see a race now are mentally challenged. Get real people, racing will resume soon and life will go on, for the ones that live.
Definite no for me....high risk 11 year drives all my decisions, not just this one. Plus the average sanitation of most dirt tracks and most fans at dirt tracks makes this a hard no for now.
I’d go now and just space out. By June, I’d go and not space out.
This is t going to be over quickly you can forget about going to a race ball game dineyworld theater or any thing similar to this they are talking 80 percent economy in the fall.
Much like BTExpress and a couple of others I have family members closely involved in this. Daughter does seminars all over the country for a national university for people in the nursing and related professions. Her travel schedule has completely been cancelled and she now works from home. Daughter-in-law is a psych nurse in charge at a walk in clinic for mentally ill people. Both of them say to take this seriously.
My race team consists of me, my son, daughter... when she's in town, daughter-in-law and occasionally a grandkid. Would I put any of them at risk so I could enjoy my weekend hobby? Definitely HE!! no.
For anyone who would, using the Constitution as reasoning, it's just unfortunate that my daughter-in-law doesn't do house calls. You need help.
The same could be said for people who want all of their freedoms taken away. There's no reason why healthy people can't get back to some level of normalcy. The elderly and those at risk can continue to isolate. Another great depression is more dangerous than the virus. That is a fact.
I would have to think rural areas are at a much lesser threat to contact the virus.
