Could the death have been attributed to that coronavirus in 2020?

I understand the NHRA has a different business model, how about having races without fans and charge $10 a race to watch online. With unemployment going up every day and the economy in limbo i hope NHRA adjusts their pricing accordingly. Sponsors/Marketing Partners have to be complaining and looking for some form of return on investment or refund. May be the heads of NHRA will take a pay cut????

Click bait is meant to do that.

Is it really click bait? These are some hard times for businesses and even harder for racing organizations, teams and tracks. If the economy slows usually marketing money for racing slows, if the nhra loses one big team in the nitro categories what do they have for a show? If weekly bracket racers lose their jobs and the economy slumps how will tracks stay open? Now throw in the value of their land and someone comes along offering money for it, what would you do?

R.I.P.? Not likely but if the pendulum swings as hard left as some predict it could definitely happen.

Bad news for myself then. Since we've been down. I up graded my C/SA Dart from a roll bar to a cage. Still working on the 2009 Challenger. I'm building a new 1969 Barracuda for Earl Blake. Oh and I'm also putting a cage in Paul Wong's Cuda. Heading out now to prime a new 426 Max Wedge engine. I hope I can find time to "rest in Peace" I'm at the retirement age as you can tell.

Hopefully not for you or anyone else. All racing right now is in jeopardy but hopefully like other times it will not be the end. Be safe everyone
