Would you go to the races now if the tracks were open?

[TerryM]

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.

[Clayton_Wetters]

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.

[TerryM]

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.

[HoosierDirtFan]

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.

[TBSprintFan]

Not a chance, I love racing but I love life more.

[Rocky]

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.

[dirtcrazy4u]

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.

[kazual]

Nope, not yet. And in this litigious society any promoter that did would be in danger of getting drug into court.

[BTExpress]

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.

[Cooter Davenport]

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!

[GEAR_HEAD]

Nope, not yet. And in this litigious society any promoter that did would be in danger of getting drug into court.

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.

[GEAR_HEAD]

Yeah, the Constitution and freedom are evil! Let's live in a locked down communist state forever. That sounds like fun. Stop watching the lefty fake news!

[BloomerWon]

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.
