According to the LA Times, the mayor of Los Angeles is considering banning concerts and outdoor sporting events till 2021. Could this decision affect the World Finals held at Pomona ??

It is sounding more and more like no large gatherings will remain in effect the rest of 2020 in most if not all states. How it effects Drag Racing, local tracks, the NHRA and anything else connected remains to be seen. I am going to winterize the car now though and can always get it race ready in a weekend.

Kinda depends on how long social distancing remains in effect. As long as people continue to follow the guidelines the quicker it will be removed. I think the biggest problem with many outdoor sports is that they are in confined spaces for the spectators. Thousand of people sitting next to each other. Drag racing could be done without spectators and make sure the racers keep distances appropriate to guidelines.

There is no one answer to cover all sporting events. So let's hope and Pray for the best. I, myself, am looking forward to attending drag racing events in the very near future.

Hopefully and prayerfully, we can soon start realizing the accomplishments of all those who have been working hard to solve this problem. We get closer every hour.

He is the Mayor of the City of Los Angeles. I believe Pomona Fairgrounds is owned and operated by Los Angeles County. The County Board of Supervisors oversees Pomona Fairgrounds, not Mayor Garcetti.

The new sport will be protect your stuff from released criminals. 4000 released is stupid plus they closed the gun stores. Deemed not essential.

Agree with Rod. They sure don't plan to return to normal any time soon. Check the video Norwalk/Bill Bader posted today. They are reopening. Seattle says they are too, May 6th. About time. Life is full of risks, you could get hit by a bus or stuck by lightning.... never leave home and you run the risk of earthquakes and fires.

Take your chances if you wish and good luck with that.
