Dang it!

3 of the 4 races were probably a GO...Unfortunately, the Illinois governor has a stay at home order through May 30 affecting the Joliet race....

I was planning to go to Maple Grove; now I will go to Atco (July 31-Aug. 2) instead, and I may go to the rescheduled Maple Grove event depending on the date.

Seeing as Georgia has started opening up more than other states I’m a little surprised they postponed Commerce. As a NHRA track and with a likely high car count they’re leaving a lot of $ on the table. Sounds a little off to me but with NASCAR backing away from a fan-less race in May perhaps no organization wants to be first to sponsor an event. Liability insurance perhaps is the sticking point, a litigation happy culture the culprit.

Could very well be the Hangover Nationals in January before anyone races again.

Probably just a little too soon yet. They have some logistics to work out before we get back to racing. Issues with tech. Fuel check. Time slips. One of the tracks said they had a way to send the time slips electronically with some sort of an app. Also how to deal with payment at the gate. They need to get the Q sheets and ladder sheets available online so we don’t have to congregate at the trailer to see that info.
Maybe NHRA needs to have a system where we start an account with a credit card when we arrive at the race it charges our account. No cash transactions at the gate. You just tell them your membership number and how many crew and it charges your acct.
