In 2001, the NHRA was celebrating it's 50th anniversary and they ran a one off 50th anniversary race in Pomona during the July 4th weekend.

And why shouldn't it? The reasons for this race being postponed indefinitely are 100% based on CA having been transformed by voters into a Democrat-controlled Blue state with a Super-Majority Democrat Legislature over the last decade or so. Wal-Mart, Casa Depot, Costco, etc are jammed with thousands of people almost since the so-called lock down started because they are "essential", doncha know. The last few months, swap meets in CA are open with thousands of people attending all week long. No problem there whatsoever. And we still can't have weddings or attend sporting events except with a minuscule # of people? Are you kidding me? This is what happens when your elected politicians start telling you how to live your life, instead of letting you decide if you feel comfortable attending these events or not.

Seems the Gatornationals had decent attendance, with mask-wearing optional, and the whole weekend went just fine. This in a state with a very good Republican Governor who has the balls to let people decide for themselves what they want to do. That is not how we do things here in the "Nanny State" of CA.

So the big question is will the rescheduled 61st Winternationals now be known as the NHRA's 70th Anniversary 61st "winter"Summernationals presented by Lucas Oil?
