So now we know the reason. No spectators allowed at high school football games this fall. So, you can't announce that and have an Indy Car race safely conducted at Mid-Ohio with fans. Oh, and you can bet lawsuits are going to filed against DeWine.

Oh and besides required corona testing required 72 hours before each game, high school football is appearing like it will be canceled or moved to spring in Ohio. A lot of schools won't do or pay for the testing whose results are sketchy at best.

Fantastic weather here this weekend and no cars. If the cars were at Mud-Ohio - it would rain during the weekend.

As a spectator, I have attended rain races at both Mud-Ohio and Watkins Glen - a glorious as those tracks are in the dry, they are that miserable and more in the rain. There is no way you can move around without getting yourself wetter and wetter - throw in the fact that temperatures in the rain are 15 - 20 degrees cooler than they are in the dry at similar points in the calendar - throw a little breeze into the equation and the miserable index increases. I can also attest as a Club Racing competitor the neither track is that much fun in the rain from a driver's view point (at least from a open wheel driver's viewpoint.). Some may enjoy it - I don't.

Still waiting on DeWine to announce what attendance will be allowed for Browns and Bengals games.
For high school football, it will be 1500 max or 15% of school's stadium capacity. Indoor capacity, for girl's volleyball, capped at 300 spectators. 15% attendance at Mid-Ohio would be 11,250 roughly. I bought my tix early so hopefully that gets me in.

Indy Car guy said 80-90% chance Indy Car doubleheader happens in two weeks. Big question is will it happen with spectators?

Decision expected today. Hearing some ominous noise, I do not like. Pretty much expecting the race to be canceled.

No announcement. Indy Car mobile app has Harvest GP as next race up and has countdown clock at 28 days 10 some hours til next race which happens to be wait....the Harvest GP!🙄
DeWine, I really have no idea what he is up to but the 15%/1500 cap whichever is biggest is pretty dumb. Mid-Ohio is not a football stadium or baseball park. It is 330 acres. If he thinks 10K people can't spread out, I don't know what to say other than go out and actually attend an event at Mid-Ohio because it is obvious he has never been out there.
Jay Frye, he is the one who said 80/90% certain. I don't know who he talked to but DeWine has become a little dictator since this shit has started. Only thing I can think of is Indy Car thought they would rent the track for the weekend and Green/Savoree aren't interested in doing that. Whole thing is out of control and stupid.

Browns and Bengals just given permission by his holiness, Mike DeWine, to have 6K fans at first two home games. Now waiting to see how bad Mid-Ohio gets screwed over. No reason why their request for 10K should be denied.
