this is all crazy. they were going to open up darlinton dragway to 2500 spectators and someone called in a bomb threat?... so they are having a race with no fans.what happens with nhra is yet to be seen. i see it spliting into 2 different organizations, the sportsman series and the pro/monster truck type of show.

I'm also good with that except Indy.

If the Sportsman presence were taken completely out of the equation, Indy, not being exactly a major population center would quickly become indy. The Sportsman Racers make Indy what it is. Special.

With militants on both sides of the equation if they indeed cancelled fans at Darlington because of a domestic terror threat then we’ve got big problems.

I believe the bomb threat was at Darlington Speedway where Nascar opens this weekend.

musical concerts and drag racing. these two events are not good on TV. while i can enjoy both on tv, nothing like being there in person.
just watching a story discussing the live concert industry and they do not believe they will be back in 2020.

Darlington had their event, a drag radial, ProMod, N/T event. No spectators. And the place was packed with race cars. Speedvideo did the livestream.

RIP Drag Racing? I'm worried about RIP America with the insanity coming out of the governors' offices. It's like someone gave them the keys to the safe where all the superpowers were kept and they're overdosing. This guy in PA is nuts.

Who knows what the rest of the year or even next year will look like.
