Don, fans have been allowed, albeit with limited numbers for social distancing, at every National event that has been run since the restart of the season. For the 3 events that have been run at Indy, about 2,500 fans have been allowed only in the East side grandstands. To buy tickets for those 3 events, you either had to be an NHRA member or had already bought tickets for the U.S. Nationals. A good friend of mine who lives in Indianapolis attended those 3 events. I printed my U.S. Nationals tickets last week; and fans will be allowed in both the East and West side grandstands in limited numbers for social distancing. Also, a noncontact temperature check is required for everyone before you are allowed to enter and hand sanitizing stations are readily available throughout the facility.
