Hope so, as sleeping in the 911 gets old pretty quick..

 

I spoke to Mark Hicks at Chin before this announcement and he was very confident of July 1-2 before VIR July 4-5.

 

I hope so as I have already booked my hotel.

Supposed to instruct at Glen for SCDA in mid July. Probably lead follow format.

 

Gov. Cuomo today said that racetracks in NY can open and that includes Watkins Glen. No fans, social distancing, handi wipes, blah blah blah. but it can open.

 

I'm signed up--if it doesn't happen I'll give the gov a ride in the Min.
Right after lunch

 

I've been told, from a reliable source, that WGI's covid reopening plan limits events to 50 participants. Going to be impossible to pay the track fees from that number of paying customers, if this is true.

 

Just got the e-mail from the club, Yup Limited to 50.... so the event will cost $800 per just for the club to break even.. There is a Bright side... with 50, Holy cow ... Talk about "open Track" I better bring a couple of drums of Fuel!

 

Government-mandated limit or WGI self imposed, any guess?

 

From what I could gather from the e-mail, I believe its WGI that is limiting to 50, there is still conversation that is taking place in order to allow more than 50 that leads me to believe its the track and and not "The GOV" but cannot say for sure.

 

50 drivers? No problem, if the Glen cuts their rental price by 50%

 

Why would the track do that if they weren't told to? They'd be shooting themselves in the foot financially which is the last thing they need right now....makes no sense.
No, I'm not shooting the messenger
