    There's not going to be a fall college football season.

      It's normally cancelled anyway after the Buckeyes lose their first game.....no big deal.
      Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

        This. And yes I have been to Eldora (you can social distance there). Yes I have worked out if Ohio. Never really liked the state. Barbecueboy has it figured out. No big deal let’s just race somewhere else.

          Social distancing at Eldora for the big shows?
          That’s like saying you can social distance at Fairbury for the PDC !

          We are racing at many other places with fans- just not in Ohio at 20,000+ spectators. Been to the World/Dream for 25 years straight. Also the Preludes & Nascrap Trucks. I am extremely disappointed that the races are being cancelled- but I am not on 4m trashing Eldora & Tony Stewart for it. Man- just look at what’s happening in this country as a whole and be thankful that some tracks are racing! I spend 17 days a year at Eldora & if the World 100 is cancelled- it will just make next year more special.
          Let’s enjoy the races we do have and try to have an understanding of those we don’t!
          I still believe wholeheartedly that we live in a great country although the United States is facing some tough challenges. Be thankful for what we have & keep our fingers crossed and hopes alive for what we seek!

            I can't seem to wrap my mind around the fact that people can't tell the difference from a place like Muskingum to Eldora..

            You cannot social distance at the World 100 at near full capacity. Think about how many strangers you encounter that entire weekend that are within 6 feet of you.

              You have to consider who you're debating with here.

                  Exactly what I was thinking as well. Some people have good -logical heads on their shoulders. Others have jack-o-lanterns with all of the inner workings carved out!

                      There have been numerous post on here on many different threads about Eldora’s decisions to cancel races-right? There is one thing that I have failed to see mentioned: the health/safety of the residents and service workers of Darke County and all the surrounding counties of the speedway. What kind of an impact would it bring upon them if 20,000 people from all over the country came into their area? We shop, eat, sleep and socialize in their communities- they serve us-clean up after us and ect. I feel quite comfortable in saying other than
                      N the financial $$ lids- under present health situations- they don’t want us moving in and putting their health in jeopardy.
                      Just a thought.

                        I’m not going to argue covid. Math, science and a trip to check out your local hospital and cemetery should be all you need to know on that.

                          If you go to the hospital do you really think they're going to just let you walk around and see the people that might be sick from it? If you go to the cemetery how do you know who died from covid and who and didn't?

                                . I’m with you here. It’s just not the same the last few years.
