NETO Race 5 Results – July 5, 2020 – Island Dragway
After 4 canceled races due to Covid-19, we ran our 5th race at Island Dragway on a very hot and very humid sunny day.
I would like to thank everyone for their co-operation with the new sign-in procedure (wearing masks, using hand-sanitizer and not filling out your own ladder). It went pretty smoothly for the first time and drivers were patient with the process.
Just a reminder that drivers need to check in and draw their number before the 2nd time trial. Per the rules we wait 10 minutes after the 2nd time trial to set the ladder. It isn’t fair to the other racers who need to get their cars ready, if they have to wait for the ladder to be redone.
