Mr. Force will do as his sponsors ask. Does AAA/Peak/Chevy want to run and take on the ID of racing while all their customers ( fan base) cannot? It’s a smart move by corporates.

I don't know how strictly they will enforce it,but NHRA is saying that fans MUST wear a face mask.

Outside in 90 degree heat,I say"no thank you".

NHRA will pull the plug on the season before the end of July and quite possibly after this weekend. They have no choice, they are a major corporation with a board of directors and sponsors. They will do what is politically and socially correct. The fact that Force has parked his teams for the season due to losing major sponsors on at least 2 cars, only makes the decision for the NHRA board easier.

Like rats in an experiment, the same people who bend over for a germ infested face diaper, will be the same who take the vaccine without a fuss.

It's all calculated using equations, they're just tallying the figures now.

If everyone learned to draw a line in the sand, we wouldn't be like rats in an experiment.

BS, because if so then you would have elaborated on the other key details also expressed. You simply took advantage of no one here making the post and you repeated information that was already publicly posted an known for many hours before yours. Some were even talking about it at the Houston Divisional last month.

The bad news that you speak of for NHRA is no more likely than the (at this point rumor) that after the upcoming Indy races the season will be cancelled has been talked about since Friday. Nothing new and nothing breaking and trust me had you know any sooner than you originally made this post your fingers would have been on fire to get here and post it.

I think you are spot on, I read posts on Facebook late Friday saying these things.

Not a hater, Ed, even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. You just don't have any creditable information.

Obviously I'm going to have to apologize. You are much more important than I gave you credit for.
Damn, I'm going to have to wipe down the computer screen after that one.

Doesnt matter if you do FB or not because once on FB it can spread through many different outlets. The info you posted has been known since Friday by some so you are a little late to the party.

the party didn't start here until I posted it after I was told by NHRA OFFICIALS.

Now what part of the TRUTH and the FACTS don't you like?

Is it that John Force has parked his teams for the rest of the season?

or is it that the NHRA is going to pull the plug on the rest of this season?

or is it that 1320racer was right again?

Few fans would find that acceptable and most would skip races they would normally attend. Combine that with the threat of litigation from those who attend an event who may or may not have been infected there, and you have a canceled season. There has been so much excessive virtue signalling between covid and race relations that it's impossible to have any normal event in most places. Whatever it is you enjoy....they will come after it.

I thinks its common sense, if you wanna do some drag racing, ya better get out there and do it while ya can.

I'm not patting myself on the back but I told the guy I did the All Pro RR sbc when Wilson let us down on our intake manifold in time for Lights Out sgmp, this might be the last opportunity we have to race this car. Lights Out was in February.

It's not gonna be any better next year either, they're gonna keep up the face diaper charade until everyone takes the vaccine they don't even have yet supposedly, I hate to tell ya.

Unless the people finally draw a line in the sand and start to ignore authorities orders, it's not gonna get any better.

You are wrong Mike. A G A I N Trying to make more out of this than it is. It was the sponsors call period. And a good call. Don't turn this into political bs. Very simple business decision.
