[Paul]

Heads up to those who will be attending the Winternationals. To be clear this is a local requirement and not an NHRA requirement.

The racers just have to wear a face mask, no vaccine or negative test requirement.

What a joke. I wonder why the racers are held to a different standard than the fans? I also find it odd that it is only Saturday and Sunday. Maybe the virus doesn’t spread during weekdays? I’m sure NHRA had to agree to the rules of the county to be allowed to hold the event. I wonder if NHRA will give credit for those ticket holders that refuse to meet the requirements to enter the track? All of this makes no sense to me being an outdoor event. I’m fully vaxed but that is my choice and don’t think it should be a requirement. Is the SuperBowl, also in LA requiring the same?

Not sure about Super Bowl but tomorrow's Rams-49ers game at Sofi is subject to these rules. Seems silly as even San Francisco is starting to relax it's requirements

Someone on another car forum I'm on posted that the monthly Pomona Swapmeet carshow also implemented these requirements and attendance dwindled.
I wondered why because when I went to The Finals two months ago, no such requirements were in place.

Guess I won't be going and $pending money with them unless they relax the regs by then.

They are doing the same thing at the Grand National Roadster Show this weekend at the Fairplex.

Paul, crowd limit was 10,000 at the finals and its now 5000. This is all LA County doings. Where i live in Riverside County we have none of this except at a few places.


March Meet in Bakersfield is wide open in a month

 

[mick]

laughing out loud. it's the new stealth variant. CA doesn't even know they have it ...... until the weekend

But somehow the NFL will be allowed to have 60k+ fans for the SuperBowl.

Oh wow I did not know that! Very unfortunate. I was going to take a newbie with me. Oh well.

 

[Guy]

I guess football doesn't spread it.

 

[Professional Fan]

My guess would be that the vast majority of people will take off their masks once they get in the gates.

 

[Mike]

The NFL had to follow the rules and if your going to the game tomorrow at SOFI be prepared

 

[J. S.]

Typical LA County Government bullshit. But these imbecilles are voted in. So the People need to make smarter choices at the ballot box.

No such requirement to get into Walmart, of course. I guess it's not a "Mega" event. But has anyone ever been to Walmart on a weekend?

And yes, no such requirement at the NHRA Finals in early November 2021.

Covid is a huge fan of Drag Racing. Ball sports............ not so much.

 

[ZWeinstein]

I guess football doesn't spread it.

$$$$$$$$$$$ is the reason. Honestly it would not surprise my if in the immediate days after the Super Bowl a new lockdown of events happen in that shithole. There is no way it will happen before because no way are they going to lose out on the hundreds of millions of dollars the super bowl and all of the side events brings in. If they lost all of that revenue they could not line the corrupt politicians pockets....I mean help improve their city,

 

[Guy]

I have a chance to go but I just can't handle the mask BS.
Having to wear them outside is just ridiculous.
I also see the crowd size is limited to 5000?

 

[Cliff]

Will this happen at Wild Horse? Have seen nothing about that yet.

 

[Mike]

Cliff, you live in a state that has some common sense and the track is in Indian land

Jon, the finals were 10,000 fans, its now 5000.

The Barrett-Jackson auction has been going on this week in Scottsdale. I haven't seen too many masks there, either inside or out.

I bet If there was a 10% chance your favorite driver would win the race if you wore a mask it wouldn’t be a problem. God forbid you wear a mask and there’s a 10% chance someone won’t get sick! Next time you have a surgical procedure tell the surgeon there’s no need for him to wear his. They’ve only been wearing mask for 150 years or more.
