Sonoma Double in Jeopardy? - Page 4

GrapeApe7575 · 05-06-2021, 05:47 PM

The thing that bothers me the most.....(besides that stupid and ignorant racial comment by BRIINK), is that Barry heard this rumor nearly a week ago yet we don't hear anything from our Division until today. People are trying to schedule vacations, work off time, repairs, etc and these calendar dates are critical to us for a number of reasons.

With regard to Gary's political remarks I completely disagree with nearly everything he says(in the political spectrum).....but I will fight to the end to defend his right to say it. This is not the right forum to have those arguments but they are indeed arguments that must be made....at the right place and time.

I also believe that a fool has a right to make stupid statements in a public forum. Is this the right place for that one as well? I don't think so. For now, I will just stick to bitching about NHRA. Lord knows there's plenty of material to work with.

I know people get tired of me saying this but here in Texas racing has never stopped even in the beginning of the Covid deal. It just doesn’t pay to be a racer in a blue state.

The dates for Tucson don't seem to add up. This press release says the divisional is Oct 14 and 15 (which is Thursday and Friday) with a one-day National Open on the 16th (Saturday).

But the full LODRS schedule, which has been updated, has the divisional on the 15th and 16th (Friday and Saturday). The National Open schedule shows Tucson as Oct 8 and 9, which is a Friday and Saturday. So is the one-day NO on Sunday the 17th, or Thursday the 14th? Or is the press release right? I'm confused.

the schedule now has a motorcycle event scheduled. I guess the motorcycle guys made a better profit.

You’d make a great researcher because I can’t find anything on that weekend Bob.

You all better get your storage arraignments figured out here in Las Vegas. I have a good feeling the Pomona races are coming to Vegas as well.

In case some of you aren't aware of this, the historical average high in Phoenix for that weekend...102 deg.

Very frustrating for us on the west coast, this damn lock down seems like it won’t go away, tired of the freaking mask and being under a damn thumb all the time, just over it

The divisional is moved but the Nat is still on? Or will it be on the chopping block too? This must be overwhelming for Jeff and Vegas employees. Now I know why my Sportsman buddies moved East. Move over Arnold Green!
