I'd like to see NHRA, John Force and everything and everyone else survive and get right back to where they (we) were 5 months ago and prosper. I hope that happens because the new normal sucks.

But, as things "open up", whatever that means, I'm seeing places not returning. Closed. Gone. Businesses that managed to hold on being told they can open at 50% capacity, and just saying the hell with it and giving up.

The governors and state health secretaries in many states continue to keep their foot on the necks of businesses and the public. I see the corruption, favoritism and ineptitude in my home state and can only assume it's being repeated around the country.

Add in the civil unrest and it's not a good time to try to move forward with any plans. I'll keep my theories to myself, but I just don't believe in coincidences and I don't expect there will be any relief until after the election, if then. Until then, all we can do is hunker down and be glad for the few opportunities we have to do anything enjoyable.

Never before has the expression "There's always next year" been so relevant.

Talk about govt with their foot on business neck.. We are doing a kitchen remodel and looking at appliances. went to a Mom & Pop store about 35 miles west of us in a small town. I've had friends that bought from them and got good prices and service. they sell the same brands as our local Lowes store, but since covid they can't special order. They can only sell out of inventory. for that brand S/O we have to go to Lowes. OK so we are forced to go to Lowes for the American made brand we want. Right off we cant get a salesman & when we do the first thing out of his mouth insulted my wife.. We are out of there. Think we will look at some more local mom & Pop stores. I can afford to keep them in business. We are in some sad times..

I read on Yellowbullet that someone who had (supposedly) talked to a Force crewmember was told that Force has had to return a bunch of sponsor money since the season has not restarted yet. I read an interview with Force on Dragzine a month ago and he was nervous as a dog crapping pea gravel then, and he stated the future was very uncertain.
