Poor analogy. All those things have always been forbidden. But going to the store? Going to church? Getting together with friends? Going to a race? Ridiculous! But don't worry, you'll probably get your way. It seems nowadays insanity usually wins.

You laugh because I'm different. I laugh because you're all the same. Copied from the back of the #16 supermodified.

Actually originally there were no driving laws or age limitations on alcohol consumption. Like sheltering in in place they came about as a need arose. It isn't about going to a race, restaurant or whatever. It is about all of us understanding the unwritten social contract that binds us together in a time of crisis. We will agree to disagree.

Does the race track have an electrical outlet that I can plug a light into it? It would seem that is the cure to the problem? What end do you jam it into?

So if you get COVID, be a hero, obey your Fearless Leader & mainline some Lysol?
