Our good friend Jonr started this thread to inquire when and how we all might go about attending races in 2021 during these unprecidented times of this issue. As this issue unfolded in the Spring here in the United States of America, and Indiana (which I am still honored to be allowed to cross the northern border) it changed our lives and status quo much like other issues of past years - 9/11, smoking in public, seat belts, etc. Eventually we adjust and move on in one way shape or form.

But we all come to this forum started by out late friend Mr. Gardner, whom I have never met, and kept up by Mrs. G, The First Lady of Dirt (I say that as as a compliment - honest) as race fans. As race fans will be, one will be rooting for this driver, another for that driver, and somewhere in the grandstand there is always someone who is rooting for all drivers and a good race.

We are at that point in this thread. Politically, we have the left and the right. Pandemic-wise, we have the same thing - one side of the issue and the other side of the issue, all going about dealing with this in our own way. As in ********, we are very divided in our beliefs, as we are with the issue at hand noted by the original poster of this thread. When divided as such in any manner, reaching a resolution can be extremely difficult, but not impossible.

We are all fans of the sport and as fans together, right & left, pro & con, wing & non-wing, dirt & pavement, we are going to have our differences. Let's take a deep breath and respect the opinions of the "other" fan. You may not LIKE that opinion, but that opinion is real and present.

Let us be better than slinging crap at each other here. If one wishes to do that, by all means go over to another forum that starts with an H where it is performed regularly.

It is the holiday season, IOW fans. But more importantly, it is the human season. That season runs all year long.

Please.... no accolades for this post. Let's just get back together, on track, and at the track as we deem fit.

I will now go start my grill out in the driveway. He's one of my best buds. We've been through thick and thin and many a track. Just like a lot of us here on IOW. Thank god grills cannot talk.
So I am now sorry I started this thread. I tried to be very specific in the title. “For the COVID avoiders, when do you plan on returning. I stated that I myself was an avoider.” I was interested in how people who were treating the virus the same way I was would return to the track.

I know that there are a large number of people who were not treating the virus the same way I am. I already know their plans for returning. I was hoping that they would have passed over this thread.

Thats not proof. You're just repeating your own opinion & rumors

ALL the TV stations & newspapers report the facts about COVID, except maybe Fox. Maybe you
should stop watching that?

Sorry, I didn't see this until I started replying to a COVID denier. Thing is, its not about opinions, its about FACTS. I would have stayed on topic about upcoming post-COVID plans, but refuse to let lies go unanswered

If you truly buy into that thought process, then explain why California is spiking so badly along with Illinois, New York, and everywhere else masks are mandatory?

You take care of yourself and I'll take care of me. Do you carry to protect me also? If you don't, then you're a hypocrite for chastising me about being worried about someone else's safety.
