But, in this case, that's not the definition. In terms of the standard that the tracks are being required to abide by, the state's definition is this:

• Raceways may operate at 50% grandstand
capacity.

We have such a condensed, big event filled schedule coming up, I hope they do whatever they have to do to keep this thing going. Because it's going to be great. Starting with this weekend! So, I agree with John. I hope everybody does what they need to do to keep the state from putting the bullseye on us.

Well put in for the day off for the 500. Now maybe I have reason to go again. Maybe we can park near the big track and listen and tailgate a bit before the fairgrounds race.

Can we get the complaints out of the way early for this race?

Too late for a Sunday night. I mean yeah I stayed up and watched a great race but just have to complain to everyone that it was too late. Made me feel way less tired for work Monday morning to get that out there.

I don't agree with those rules they need changed.

People shouldn't just stop on the track it's not fair.

He scratched my tail tank. This one reminds me of the movie Caddyshack when Dangerfield drops his anchor through the judges boat and says "hey you scratched my anchor".

If you change a tire during a Silver Crown race you should have to start the next Silver Crown race from the tail one lap down.

Everybody who cares about this great, historical race needs to spread the word and bring some friends.

I am and bringing a friend who has never been to the Indiana State Fairgrounds. It sucks that I am not allowed to attend the 500 for my 56th consecutive time even though I have two sets of tickets, my original and the replacements that arrived not long before they announced that it was a no fans allowed event.
From what I've read it is the reckless behavior of young people that is causing the Covid outbreak in Indy. They party and we get penalized!

I agree Ron to an extent but how many masks have you seen at the races?

I saw more mask being worn during sprint week than midget week. I really think I could have count the mask using both hands and had couple fingers left during IMW, during ISW I might have used all my fingers.

Probably less than a dozen.

Hey Jim how you doing? Michele came home a week ago after 9 days in the hospital. She is slowly being better. Hope this finds you doing good. Best wishes jerry
