For how long, it's obvious that the Democrat governors are not going to let things get back to normal. They have changed the normal and intend to keep it that way.

I am not affiliated with either party, but it is not just Democratic governors. For example, Iowa has a Republican governor and they are not allowed to have fans either.

Hopefully, they will get a vaccine by the end of the year and we can get back to the old normal next year. For now the new normal is going to be a mixed bag, based upon outbreaks in the various states.

vaccine going to be hard to come up with in this type of strain from what I am understanding. What is not hard, letting business open back up. Dems Gov likely to not go along, Power Power.

That's the point I've been trying to make. Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama are all very red states with republican governors and I don't think any racing is being allowed at all. With or without fans there is no racing.
California has a democratic governor and at least one track is racing. Louisiana has a democratic governor and I believe there is some racing going on there. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
It's not a total red /blue thing but some on here are making it one at every turn.

jr29, You are correct that Marysville's Facebook says they are racing per a post last night. Hadn't seen that since I seldom look at Facebook but I'm surprised that my phone wasn't ringing off the hook about it since it's only 34 miles from our home base and we are regulars on Saturday night there for years in Super Stocks/Limited LMs when we aren't out of town at a Tour race.

It is one of the privately owned joints I mentioned in my last post and my son and I are good friends with the owners. It is also in Yuba County which opened a lot of businesses yesterday, much to the displeasure of our Governor. The 3 counties, including them, in that area have had only double digit cases and one death. With a population of some 175,000 in the 3 there also has been minimal to no testing done there.

The same can be said of the northeast corner of the state, Modoc County, population 9,000, which also ignored state guidelines and opened. Zero cases with zero testing. One race track in Cedarville, literally spitting distance to Oregon, 1/4 dirt with one race a year, the Tri State Pro Stock Challenge, which is one of our favorite ones to run. That was cancelled yesterday. The Tri State series had a nice 12 race schedule in NorCal, northern Nevada and southern Oregon this year. So far 2 races in and 5 cancelled and the other 5 waiting to see.

Don't know what classes will be at Marysville if it happens but at least one or 2 Sprint classes and IMCA Sport Mods are a good bet. With a daughter, daughter in law, sister and granddaughter all in nursing/ medical fields we'll listen to their advise over the politicians and not be there. Better to err on the caution side...

All is good, my friend.
Hopefully you guys are wide open before too long.
All the best.

Especially if you get hit by a car or commit suicide right when you are on the verge of a "major breakthrough".

Like the dude that was supposedly a murder suicide victim here in Pittsburgh.

I heard earlier this week that a girl went on spring break in Florida then went home to Mississippi and gave it to people in her church. One of the people died.
There you go.

jr29, I don’t doubt the spring break deal one bit but I do know in the county I live in about 50 miles south of you there was some elder church members of a MB church went to Chicago to a church conference in March and brought the $hit back with them and infected about 30 members and 8 of them died. Supposedly been 10 people in our county that has died from it and 8 from that church and the other 2 caught it from acquaintances from the church. If it wasn’t for that trip to the conference our numbers would only be about 25 cases with 0 deaths

Nascar has cancelled Sonoma, Richmond and Chicagoland events. Surprised the June Michigan race wasn't cancelled.

Hell tour ain't happening
