Ohio Governor opening Ohio May 1st

[Drop Shock]

I don’t see how any promoter could hold a race where people from multiple states are gathering together for a very long time. Just doesn’t seem doable at this point

Fans should wear face shields , masks, and wash their hands frequently. The fans may find out the face shield and masks may save their lives and may at the same time make the races more enjoyable. As long as fans take precautions , they may have a good chance of avoiding the COVID-19 VIRUS.

6 weeks away. This virus will be all but gone. Least till late fall. But maybe not then. See ya at the Big E.

JayD, How do you know you haven't had it already? The answer is you don't. In case you and non driving fool haven't heard getting the virus doesn't mean you die. Stop watching the lefty news. Very few people die from it. Less than 1% when the asymptomatic carriers are included. Millions of people have had it and not known.

The virus isn't going anywhere.

I don’t watch any 24 hour news channels, that’s the problem we have on both sides, people watch and listen to those awful networks but like you they don’t think for themselves. My advice to you is to stop watching the righty news, because that’s the only place you’re getting these ridiculous herd mentality ideas.

I don’t see the Dream happening full throttle normal. It’s one of a couple of places that could still be held as possibly an invitational with an entry limit and fan limitations, but the policing of separation would be extremely difficult.

You’ll see local/regional stuff by then, but I don’t see it happening in its regular capacity.

Viruses typically don’t just go away, but the wait for a vaccine talk is a bit of a reach IMO also. While they don’t go away, they do mutate. Say you get a vaccine got this version and it changes. Yeah the vaccine MAY lessen the symptoms but you still get it. Treatment is the word I’m looking for.

It’s a shame how this has gotten completely political in some cases. Trump was ridiculed for winning by fear mongering now the left is running with that playbook and some republicans are probably in a bit too much of a hurry to see the folly in opening too quickly. I’m a libertarian at heart and have long known it’s a broken system designed only to try and keep those in power ruling, but to see people that are supposed to working for the people out party over country in something like this is disheartening to say the least.

I'm guessing no one read this since the fighting over who has seen this or that continues. The owner of a big time NHRA sanctioned drag strip in northern Ohio says he is opening, regardless of what the governor says.

I'll be keeping up with that story to see what happens.

Good for him, hope others follow. Constitutionally and legally they cannot stop him.

My .02... This whole deal is blown way too entirely out of proportion. Is it a dangerous disease? Yes. Should we take precautions to keep from getting it? Yes. Did it result in the death (Whether directly or from a mix of Covid and underlying issues) Of one of my favorite singers, Yes. Sadly.

But how many people have recovered? How many people have lost their jobs? WHY did we shut down the entire country? According to the data I am looking at right now, 31,071 in the entire US have died from the virus. Which is awful, don't get me wrong.
BUT that is .009% of the population. How is that worth completely destroying the economy, thousands if not millions of businesses, and lives of millions of people?

I feel like the personal economic effect of this ordeal will far outweigh the health crisis side. People will lose everything. And I'm speaking from experience, I have been unable to start my new job was hired for due to this, and I am inelligable for the unemployment because I was unemployed prior to the beginning of the outbreak.

I live in North GA, and I will absolutely be at the first race I possibly can be. I will support, and I do support opening everything back up as soon as possible.

Good post. ....if the outlaws happen late May, I’ll be at Jacksonville and Tri State. And I’ll sit in someone’s nostril. Then on to the Dream from there.
