Drag Racers scared of Coronavirus,but have no issue with some 160+ mph Factory Stock car passing them at the 1/4 mile.Stay safe and wash your hands.

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

Pure fluff. You have in turn said nothing.

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

We are more than just drag racers. We are at the track about 10% of the time.

CONTROLLING CORONAVIRUS
• If you have a runny nose and sputum, you have a common cold
• Coronavirus pneumonia is a dry cough and no runny nose
• This new virus is not heat resistant.
• Killed by a temperature of just 25-27 Degrees Fahrenheit. It hates Sun.
• Sneezing takes about 10 feet before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne.
• If it drops on a metal surface, lives for 12 hours.
• If in contact with any metal surfaces. Wash your hands ASAP with bacterial soap.
• On Fabric it can survive for 6-12 hours. Normal laundry detergent will kill it.
• Drink warm water is effective for all Virii. Try not to drink liquids with ice.
• Wash your hands frequently as the virus can only live on your hands for 5-10 minutes.
• A lot can happen during that time. Like rubbing your eyes, mouth nose or ears, so on.
• Should gargle as prevention. A simple solution of salt in warm water will suffice.
• Cannot emphasize enough and drink plenty of water.

THE SYMPTOMS
• It will first infect the Throat, so there will be a sore Throat lasting 3-4 days.
• The Virus then blends into a nasal fluid that enters the Trachea.
• Then enters the lungs causing Pneumonia. This takes about 5-6 days further
• With the Pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty in Breathing
• The Nasal Congestion is not like the normal kind.
• You will feel like you are Drowning.
• Imperative that you Seek Immediate Medical Attention

Except for the drowning sensation or pneumonia, I usally felt that way after working at ChrisCraft in Bradenton in the early 80's when friday came around.John Kissel K242

Dan, please don't take this personally. I'd like to know what your source is for this information. It all sounds good, but how do I know? All I know about you is that you're a guy who pushes pure stock. :-)

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

CDC - California, CA and Atlanta, GA, Emory University Atlanta, GA, NIH in Bethesda, MD
Doctors in my family and Medical Staff friends working with these organizations sending me this information.
Additional posts from my Clients and government Agencies we do business with.

My information is accurate.
Have a lot of employees working for me.
I am responsible for their well being plus there are contractual obligations.

Below is just one post from AT&T

Dear Supplier,

This is an urgent precautionary request to our valued suppliers. To help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus (Coronavirus) and protect our employees and customers, effective immediately, all meetings between Supplier employees/representatives and AT&T employees/representatives that would involve travel by air or rail for any participants, should instead be planned and conducted using phone, video teleconferencing, computer, or alternate virtual means. Face-to-face meetings involving participants in the same geographic area may proceed, but please consider virtual options in these circumstances as well.

Given the COVID-19 is rapidly expanding, globally, we are asking for your company’s immediate cooperation. However, this request does not remove or diminish any supplier’s contractual obligations. If you find that your service or product delivery may be impacted, please contact your supply chain representative immediately. For additional context, please see the letter recently sent from AT&T’s (persons name deleted), EVP – Global Connections & Supply Chain, to AT&T’s suppliers.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.


Dan

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

Well......Now that you have proven how important and connected you are. And recognizing your penchant for tilting at the Pure Stock windmill.
How could I ever have doubted the accuracy of the information you provide?:rolleyes:

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

I did my civic duty..!
You can do whatever you want with the information..
So hope you do not take that personally..! :rolleyes:

You do know a certain leader in 2018 cannot seem to explain away why he disbanded our Global Health Team

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

Again with the politics.......Dan.
You DID do a civic duty.......
So sorry, I'm guilty of not paying attention, no politics in the lounge either. Send me a PM.

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

This thread is about the Coronavirus and what impact it will have on racing. Here's the latest news on the virus here in the states. The governor of New York just ordered the National Guard to monitor a quarantine perimeter that was just established around New Rochelle. Think this is a joke now?

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

I am almost certain that yellow cloud of nitro fumes at National Events kills any Coronavirus. As already stated the points meets would require more than two people for it to be transmitted.

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

The thing that fascinates me is the number of non racers/no namers who barge into our discussions. Not talking about you Tom P.

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

WHEN.......Did I ever say it's a joke. Now.....the Governor of New York?

I'm glad you copied my response to Dan, because I'm going back to delete it now. A Bible Verse in Proverbs just came to me, and I need to back away. Perhaps i should be a better example.

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

We might not agree on politics, but if you're racing down here and need anything I can provide. Hit me up. Same for you Dan.

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

Small and large events are being postponed/rescheduled or cancelled all together all over the country. It appears nhra will not have the authority to have the final word as to whether it should cancel events. Looks like the governors of the states nhra plans to promote events will be making those decisions for it.

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

Some of us "no namers" simply like to watch from the sidelines, eating our popcorn and watching the drama unfold by the real professionals. Extra butter please! :D

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

That's probably the best for you. There are folks out here plowing through some of these threads with absolutely no skin in the game, which may cause some confusion for visitors to this site. Take Tom Broome for example, Drag Race Central has never heard of the guy, and yet here he is just swinging away on this thread. It would be a good idea for folks to identify themselves as non nhra National and Divisional racers, even if they do not have the courage to use their real names.

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

I didn't know that you....or Drag Race Central were the final arbiter of the qualifications required to post on this Forum. I use my real name here. If you don't know me, that's my loss. Yes MY loss.
I apologize that I'm apparently disqualified as a racer because I don't have a current permanent number or any listing in the "interwebs".
I apologize to anyone I have assisted, at the track(s) or in the shop(s) around the country that since I'm not recognized as an "active driver". I'm automatically disqualified from being considered a "racer" regardless of any input I provide 'behind the scenes'.
I don't intend to be shamed off this forum by any one individual. If you want me gone.....That's what moderators are for.

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

Like it or not I think everyone can post You have not been out of line. Just a different opinion sometimes.

I didn't know that owning a nice Corvette Stocker made you more qualified to speak to the Corny-Virus issue than the rest of us:rolleyes: I will agree however.... I am a "no namer" as I am just a dabbler as opposed to just a babbler.

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

When my opinion doesn't matter anymore. Dig my grave, please. Thank You.

Why can't we all get along. We don't have to agree all the time, but we should be grateful to be alive in this great country.

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

Now, don't you feel better. And I no longer own a nice Corvette Stocker and I have never claimed to be the final word for anything but it's good for everyone to know who they are dealing with.

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

Thank you. Your response proves my point. I have no interest in seeing you removed but I think it's important to know that you are involved in a discussion that impacts racers and not you. How hard is that for you to understand?

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

OK...thank you! Nice Camaro!

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

Apparently I'm not the only one with comprehension issues.
I'm a racer, what happens at NHRA races affects me also. I just fail to meet your misguided, obdurate, definition of "racer".:eek:

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

[QUOTE=Superpro;609860]OK...thank you! Nice Pontiac.....QUOTE]

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

Thanks Tom. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. I had no idea that you were such sensitive fellow. But now we can continue with the thread knowing most of the contributors. That helps.

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

[QUOTE=MR DERBY CITY;609869]If you say so! All I can see are Corvettes and split bumper camaros!

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

My only wish is that the NHRA brass don’t keep their head buried in the sand.....

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

They've been buried so long they've learned to pack their ears, eyes (and other parts) with sand and go about their merry way.

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

Their silence is deafening but they may be holding their breath to see if they can run the Gators during Florida's State of Emergency.

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

nhra has announced that the Sportsman racers will race this weekend beginning today but the Pro Show will be postponed to a later date. A decent move by nhra.

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

If this situation doesn't drastically improve in the near future; the rest of the NHRA schedule could be severely impacted. I am planning to attend the Maple Grove D1 race in May, the Norwalk National event in June, Indy in September, and the Dutch Classic in September; but with the current developments, I will just have to wait and see.

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

Bill, I Agree. I'll bet that nhra will have a new addition to their National Event Registration forms, covering the Coronavirus.

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

Might want to check online but all tracks that I know of close to Vegas have closed sir .

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

Pacific Raceways in Kent, Wa. is NOT running the T N T this weekend. Only the chassis cert is being held with very low count for that I am sure. Also, the T N T scheduled for the 21st is on hold now pending further info. Check their website for more info.

I think this will all pass, but for now wash often, avoid large crowds and Pray for a quick end to all this.

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

Dan,
will we have a tear down before, like the All Stars race, or will it be after the race. If we are going to run for the standard bet of $1.00 we need to make sure everything is above board. My truck is still sealed from the 60th Indy race but it's easy to pull apart. I vote to race after we come apart.

It will be fun..

Re: Next nhra Board meeting
 

We did some testing at No Problem yesterday in conjunction with their Summit race.
