ok say nhra opens back up w fans;the economy is in shambles, unemployment going up every day, what happens if fans cant afford to buy tickets?

It’s only that way because of the knee jerk reaction to a virus that has a 99.7% survival rate! People who make minimum wage are refusing to go back to work because they make more than they did before the shutdown! Guess what those people who refuse to work loose those benefits as they should! In my trade they have continued to work and have never stopped during that mandated shutdown! Low skilled labor is the only people I know of that are still out!
so your point being?
Before You go on a tangent. Yes I believe the virus is real no I don’t think it’s as deadly as they claim it to be! As of right now more people have died from the seasonal flu than this virus! Vaccines aren’t a cure they are a preventative approach. Want an example the seasonal flu! I have taken the flu shot many times do the field I worked in. Guess what occasionally I still got the flu! There are no cures for viruses!

Bob, so if I read your response correctly everytime there is a oil down you get up and go in the pits even if the fuel session isnt over and you expect everyone else to do the same?

 

[FABMAN]

I think you do a fine Job Alan! But the one thing that drives me nuts is the Chandler sponsored cause and you constantly saying they aren’t sponsored and independently funded! I know why but it gets a bit ridiculous!
I still think to this day Steve Evans was the best but it was also during what I consider they best years of the sport!

I like Alan as well but Steve Evan's had the rough voice the NHRA fans loved. Always wandered what his son sounds like and if inherited Steve's abilities ?

I get a Flu shot every year feel it helps . Kids usually bring it home from school and haven't got it since getting shots.

Bob, I'm not here to argue with you. In fact, I agree with 99% of what you typed.... However, the quote above is wrong. On average, there are somewhere between 30 to 80 thousand deaths per year in the US caused by Influenza, over the course of any 12 month calendar year. As of today, there have been over 108,000 Covid-19 deaths here in the US, and the virus has only "officially" been here 4 months, give or take....

.... and yes, I've heard about the skydiver who's chute didn't open, he died of corona virus.... The car crash victim who died of coronavirus, etc, etc... I'm just going by published stats.

Bob,
I say it once a day. And I realize that many fans have heard it before, but we always have new fans at the track and they need to hear it. Did you know that Make a Wish was constantly having donors upset about the program because they were donating to help kids and thought the organization was spending money on the car? It was important to them that it be made known that was not the case.

Alan, I go to 10 races a year so I get to hear you say that 30+ times a year. I'm fine with it, just for the reasons you state.

I get a Flu shot every year feel it helps . Kids usually bring it home from school and haven't got it since getting shots.

well I have! I worked as a stationary engineer in a medical center so it was a requirement to get the shot because we interact with patients, enter surgery rooms while surgery is happening etc. and a few times I got the flu! Remember vaccines are preventative NOT a cure and the strain evolves every year as this latest virus will.
Notice while these protestors, looters and rioters you don’t hear shit about the virus?
No social distancing! I truly believe we are being manipulated by the press! Yes I believe the virus is real it’s not as deadly as they claim it to be!

If you said it once a day I wouldn’t complain. You say it every single time they race.

Bob I’m sure you realize how important it is for people to realize how the program is structured, to allow it to hopefully continue into the future. It’s literally a matter of seconds of dialogue for Alan to convey the message. I think it’s well worth it. And as far as changing it, how many ways can you say it? JMO

Nope, I say it the first time each day that they hit the track.

No your wrong! Of those 108k deaths they didn’t truly determine if they died from the virus or other causes! As it stands they count every death wether you died from the actual virus or other causes!
Example: you did in a auto accident from your injuries if you tested positive for the virus even if it didn’t cause the death they count it as a virus! It’s called accuracy it’s like our voter registry! It needs to be cleaned up!

Actually you are wrong again. Some states are counting every death if they test positive for the virus but other states are not while other are not including all confirmed virus deaths. Some like NY who had people with symptoms were turned away due to over crowding die at home and are not counted. Even if you take off a % the corona has still killed more than the flu per month. And you do realize every country has the virus and they are all lying? As for the looters lets wait 2 weeks and then rejoin this conversation.

Alan I have video of each round of every race I’ve attended and you say it every round and you even say I know I’ve said this before but for some who have just joined us these cars are independently funded and absolutely no donations money is used to fund these cars.
