So what state is the "Class Racer Nationals" in?


It sounds to me like some people know how to work with the PA Governor and some don't.

With you, but look at the facts. they canceled the Nationals and Numidia.

I don't mean to be sarcastic - but seriously, how many spectators do D1 points meets get? It's a moot point.

I would have to think it's more the question of WHO cancelled the nationals and numidia? NHRA? No profit, no race.

Maple Grove always drew a good crowd on Saturday night because of the $25/carload and fireworks. Lebanon Valley usually draws a decent crowd on Saturday in the day and many then go over to the dirt track next door for the night. Cecil County usually draws a decent crowd on Saturday. Atco usually does not get much of a crowd. New England gets a decent crowd on Saturday. I have not been to Numidia since Max Naylor owned it but it always drew a decent crowd on Saturdays. Virginia has a fair crowd on Saturdays. Englishtown never drew much of a crowd for divisional races.

It really depends on the time of year. Most tracks only get a decent crowd on Saturdays and it gets harder to draw crowds once you get into football season.

Don't ignore insurance companies and lawyers. In the case of the car show I was working on, we had approval from the board of health. Then the lawyers got involved with liability waivers and stuff like that.

The problem with the 250 number is that it does not consider density. 250 people in my back yard is a lot different than 250 people in a football field. We were working ona car show and got approval for 1,000 at any given time based on the distance we were planning between every show car. We were also going with two-hour timed tickets to make sure not everyone came at once.

We presented the plans to the county board of health and got the OK. Then the lawyers got involved.

In Pennsylvania, you work through the county boards of health. Some counties are more strict than others depending on how widespread COVID-19 is in that county and on the plans that are submitted by the organizers.
