    WoO postpones more events

    Lavonia, Cochran, Wayne County and Moler.

    I'm guessing Lucas will be doing the same soon.

    Unfortunately, I really don't see them or LOLMS sanctioning any races until mid June at best. We can all wish they would start up again, but the the reality is it is not going to happen.

      I don’t think we’ll even see the big Crown Jewels happening later in the summer at this point. That’s not what I want but with the way the things are going, it doesn’t look promising. No way that they take a chance of 10-25,000 people coming together for an event. Sad times.

        Completely agree Pennsboro. It’s something people need to start thinking about. The way these states are opening up. No Crown Jewels through August is something very possible.

          I imagine the bigger events will be no-spectator, PPV events for the time being. That would be the prudent thing to do, until we see if there is a 2nd wave once things are starting to re-open.

            PPV money won’t cover the purses for these events by that time. The market for that will run dry by the summer.

            Eldora could be the only track that might be able to pull that off. Even then I don’t think they’ll do it, JMO.

              They'll realize that what Sweden did with herd immunity was brilliant and they will be begging us to go to sporting events. It's the only way to get past this. Even doctors in California are saying the same thing now. Staying locked up and social distanced is weakening our immune systems, which isn't safe.

                I think most people consider this the right thing to do. I’m sticking with my original opinion. The World 100 will be the first Crown Jewel (with fans) of 2020. We were hoping for the North/South, but we’ve about given up on that.

                  If WoO is postponing but Boyd's is racing still I'm assuming obviously WoO doesn't want to race unless fans are there so how much longer could it go I guess is the question.

                    No fans, nobody to pay the purse.

                      If I had to pick one event to not be affected by this virus it would be the World Finals at Charlotte. It's just a really fun weekend. Racing is hit or miss, seen some really good ones and some snoozers but getting to see three series is cool. Throw in the other activities in the area, good places to eat.. just enjoy that event.

                            All tech posted yesterday they are planning to race Saturday. That's been their goal for a few weeks. But it didn't say they were racing without fans but stay tuned.

                              If the season gets cancelled all the way up to the World Finals, do they still crown a champion based on Florida and the couple real early races plus the finals? Or do they tack what we got onto, potentially the 2021 season that may happen?
