Gear head:
It seems like every thread on 4m you are raising sand about your freedom being taken away. I totally understand your frustrations with some of this stuff- but life is much more than racing. You rant & rave about all the rules/regulations being handed down as if you are the only one effected by them. For crying out loud - please use some common sense. Like it or not: we are “all†in this. Apparently covid19 hasn’t taken any of your friends/relatives lives? I have reserved tickets & motel rooms for: The Show Me, Dream, North/South, Port Royal Throwback, World, DTWC, & World Finals at Charlotte- yes (like you) I want racing to return - but our nation is in abnormal times now & we need to hope/pray that we can get somewhat back to normal first. For me racing is a pleasure that I have enjoyed for 55 of my 63 years. I don’t like it taken away any more than other folks- but things have drastically changed all over the world.
The Show Me & Dream are just a few weeks away- yes I want to be there- but at the same time- I question my decision to attend if they do take place. It would be like gambling in a way- wouldn’t it? Do I want to bet my life on attending a race? I don’t yet know that answer. I was fortunate enough to attend 15 races in Ga/Florida for the 2020 winternationals. A lot of people have yet to attend a race this year & I understand their frustrations- but there are so many more important issues to deal with in life than not being able to attend a race as a fan of the sport. Gear_Head- just chill a little, enjoy what you have & your family/loved ones. Work in the yard,go fishing, anything to relax yourself from the bitterness that is overwhelming you. God bless you man- and if we meet down the road racing- I will buy you a cold one of your choice and a race track hot dog!

Rocky - I can double dip if needed. 223/556 and 300BLK both with 30 round magazines just for starters.Originally posted by Rocky View PostI think we should just not wear masks. I also support half off admission if you bring your AR-15 to the race track as well for these first few races. (seriously) But you have to have a loaded 30 round magazine with you. 25 percent off for any other open carried firearm.

I do not associate with either party. I have a mind of my own.Originally posted by ZERO25 View PostIt would be wise for Democrats and the anti-gun nuts to STAY HOME until 2021, while the rest of us enjoy the races!
When the scientists determine that is safe for us to return to racing we will. I imagine that weekly shows (smaller scale) will be allowed to happen before some of the bigger events start happening again.
We ALL want to attend races again when it is safe to do that.Last edited by fryefan; 04-26-2020, 11:03 PM.

I only have one in 5.56 so I wouldn't be able to hand one to my buddy to get him in half off. I have an M1 Carbine but it's wooden stocked so it's not sufficiently scary looking even though it's an actual Milsurp weapon. 2 long guns would be kinda a PITA to carry just to sit in the bleachers though. Rifle would probably look about like after a big sandstorm in Iraq too. I don't think I would put on my ALICE gear or anything. Just a 30 rounder in a cargo pocket, I don't think we'd be locked and loaded. Maybe, I don't know, depends on what the property owner says. Maybe we go condition 3.Originally posted by lurker View PostRocky - I can double dip if needed. 223/556 and 300BLK both with 30 round magazines just for starters.
On and off I think about building an AR-10 except I don't really have anywhere to take a big bore center fire to really stretch it's legs and I'm not a hog hunter. And do I really want a semi Auto .308? I don't know. I mean maybe I could get an M1A or a Garand (30-06 I know) to match the Carbine. Sometimes I do. But I'll probably do another AR-15 or 2 before I ever did a 10.Guerilla Racing Junkies.

Except even if there were a 1000 or 2000 of us with guns in one place even scary AR-15s, nobody would get shot. See if you look at the map of where most of the shootings occur in the USA you can see that you're far more likely to get shot by a Democrat.

Gearhead. What rights has the government taken away from you over the covid 19 break out ? You need to be taking your frustrations out with anyone that backs any type of policy that comes out of china. Those huge cargo ships with all the garbage from china, turn them around, tell them to keep it. But American corporations buy that junk every day.

Every freedom! Freedom of assembly since crowds have been banned. Freedom to eat in a restaurant. Freedom to go racing. Freedom for businesses that I support to operate. The government isn't allowed to do any of this. When 9-11 happened we were all about "don't let the terrorists win". When China sends a virus our way we're like "let's destroy our economy and our freedoms and wave our white flags and let them win".Originally posted by dirtcrazy4u View PostGearhead.
