Wow, if there is an open date in October why in the world would you run the Houston race in June? Mid 90 temps, and high humidity, it will be brutal.AN OPEN LETTER FROM HOUSTON RACEWAY PARK GM SETH ANGEL | Competition Plus
Fellow drag racing fans, As most of you know, this weekend was the original date for the 33rd annual Mopar Express Lane NHRA SpringNationals presented by Pennzoil, the single largest sporting event in the Greater Houston Area. Of course, the COVID-19 pandemic altered all our plans quite...www.competitionplus.com
The virus can't survive in heat and sunshine according to latest report. They say virus will stall out during hot summer months.
I think we are more than a few steps from "let's only do it at the ideal time" .... chances are people aren't going to be traveling far for this race, so those of us who live here think June is way better than August, September, July (in that order). I haven't done much fun during this whole crisis, work is wildly busy at the leadership level trying to keep people employed and figuring out how long we can tread water with the people who can afford it the most giving up their pay to keep the organization in tact. If things relax I'll rejoice at even a version of the normalcy I'd grown to take for granted....
I can't imagine NHRA ever refunding money as stated. That would insure more people buying tickets ahead of time especially the reserved seats that need to be purchased months ahead. NHRA needs to adjust for this pandemic situation, but I doubt they will.
