This is awesome...but isn’t there a fly in the ointment known as Pritzker?

[Shiny Side Up 18]

Pritzker won't let this happen.

Pritzker can't keep his wife at home how's he going to make everyone else. Madison county voted to open up businesses (Tri-City speedway, Highland speedway) but the Gov. has threatened everyone to pull their licenses. He doesn't care about the state, just Chicago and the Madigan mob. There is a petition out to separate the state of Illinois from Chicago on the Nov ballot.

I’m not sure how local officials gave this a go. Especially with the 1200 fans part. I’ve been to Tri city, the grandstands ain’t that big.

Will sure be interesting. Will probably end up just like that race that was supposed to happen Indiana.

Pritzker won't let this happen.

He's not allowed to not let it happen. "Orders" are not laws that the police can enforce. If they do try to enforce them then can be sued in Federal court. It's really not that difficult to understand.

I got $10 that says it doesn't happen.

We got all this medical equipment now with no serious need for it so we're "donating" it to other countries. But for some reason these specific states aren't willing to budge. Florida has the third highest population and is opening to 50% Monday.

Hey I agree with you. The problem is the ISP will likely "enforce" the "order" no matter what the county says, and no matter how unconstitutional it is. I'd love to go, but I don't want to drive 2.5 hours down there only to have the entrances blocked by state police.

I live in Illinois, so please excuse my plentiful pessimism lol.

[doyle hargraves]

Yea the state is threatening to pull anybody that doesn’t follow orders liquor license and business license so who knows...

[TeNfOMaFiA69]

Huskerdirt, I’m fairly certain the Frontstretch holds around 2500 people to the max...

This is true that orders are not laws but Governors absolutely have the right to pull a business license. How bad do the Gundakers want to fight this? It will cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars in court battles with the state and will drag on for months.

[doyle hargraves]

Might depend on what happens between now and then. The stay at home order is supposed to end on the 30th which is the next day so they might not push it to hard but if fatzker extends the order beforehand then they may try to make an example out of them

[STRONGERTHANDIRT]

The mayor in L.A. threatening to cut off power and water to businesses that don't comply.

[WildBill32]

I don't see this race happening. Not as long as this Governor is calling the shots for the whole State. The only way to stop this man is by a court order by the Sate Supreme Court. That is what happened to the Governor of Wisconsin.
