Mike, the ONLY thing we control in life is our attitude. I've been swamped at work and have done nothing to get my wife's Top Dragster ready to run. In December, Copeland finished front halfing a 2015 dragster to the latest design, new wings, new body, the Conway's crew freshly wired the car and got me set up with a fresh motor .... that car came home and went up on the pro jacks, seat not poured yet, car not started again, nothing .... lots to learn, tons of jigs to make for the trailer to store the wings, etc. in transit. We've historically run with a 32ft Girard awning on the 36ft ljftgate .... that simply won't work for AFD .... you have to have a awning to leave the car out overnight. I've got tons to do even in self isolation. Now if you'd like to sit at your keyboard and be negative, so be it. Let's say things take a long time ..... back in 2008/2009 I went airplane shopping and got a great deal. That airplane got sold (at a profit) in 2014, but I found a really good deal in France last summer and I'm back flying a lot now. I leased a second hanger for one year last week .... it's gonna hold air for a while, but on the negative side of things I'll be looking for a great second airplane. Have a plan A, B, C, etc. good times or bad, but you'll very rarely find successful people saying "dream on" to a exclamation of hope in a tough time.
I constantly scenario plan, I execute on plans, not all of them, but a lot of them .... I never piss on someone else's plans, I try to help people who have a vision for the future.
You seem to want the NHRA and the teams that support the NHRA to do nothing .... that is simply not an option in life ... well not for most of us.
Jeff I think you took the wrong way there is no one chomping at the bit as I am but realism sets in some times .We all hope and pray for it to be over soon ,but every day it is strung out longer.Good luck on getting out there soonerNo one wants it more than I do don't know how many laps are left at 77-Mike
