In-n-Out will have a truck or two at the Nitro Revival on Friday night serving dinner on a first-come first-serve bases. Last time they cap the dinners to 2500 and sold out after a couple of hours.

Had lunch a the local outlet and no one asked me for a vax card. BTW, they won't give you a straw unless you ask. That would be against CA state law.

Back to the Finals at the Pomona Fairplex, the Covid restrictions, and specifically the Fairplex,.

For those who don't know it, every two months the parking lot, pit area and entire asphalt section clear up to the grandstands of the Fairplex hosts an enormous automotive swap meet where people from all over the world come to buy classic cars, parts, memorabilia, you name it. The swap meet has been shut down due to Covid since last year and finally allowed to resume in August with no restrictions. The August Swap Meet was packed, hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of cars, which is typical. Anyone who's ever gone will tell you it's much larger than the races NHRA holds there. On October 7th, L.A. County announces restrictions requiring anyone in attendance to require proof of vaccine or proof of a negative Covid test within the last 72 hours in order to get in. Ten days later, the scheduled October 17th swap meet was a disaster, ghost town, the place was deserted. People aren't going to put up with this crap..

Here's what the Fairplex looks like every time they hold the swap meets:

Ya know, I've never been to the swap meet.

prior to the start of the 2021/22 NFL season, all 32 teams were cleared for full attendance at their stadiums. most nfl stadiums seat 50-70k?
wouldn't you think this decision should set some sort of precedent for all other open air sporting events? in the defense of the nhra, doesn't it hurt their potential attendance if a prospective fan
hears on tv or radio that the nhra pomona event will have restricted attendance, quite possibly effecting their decision to attend?
is motorsports being singled out in CA because they are a dirty carbon sport?
