With the casinos closed for what, 3 months, I wonder where they're going to ramp up and get the high-paid help (right!) that they're known for.  Most have probably left town after missing their first paycheck.

Are those hotels open for business? Taking reservations is one thing. Being open, is another.

The casinos were scheduled to be open statewide on the 4th. Don't know it that happened but a contact has not suggested otherwise. Presume the hotels will be associated. I suspect things like the buffets will be different.

I saw in the Google News that even Racer magazine mentioned that all the permits for Speedweek were in place and everything is good to go!

We, Huntimer Photography, will be there with the new calendar and our car The Salt Circus.
I will wear my mask to make the safety checkers happy, but I will extend my hand to shake hands with friends and maybe a hug or two.
Some will say I am crazy and taking chances, my reply will be 'yes I am' I have a higher chance of getting hurt on the salt then from a virus.
But for those that choose to stay home I respect your decision, you can contact us for your calendar needs

Well they just announced the borders will be closed for another month, so I guess this means no racing for us again this year. :x
To all you that will be able to make it, all I can say is go fast go faster!
Have a great week and see you next year!  :cheers:

I sure hope Speed Week happens. So much talk circulating about new spikes in COVID-19 and stricter shutdowns. It looks like a race between governmental dictates and Speed Week.

7707

Well the 7707 Lucas Oil Landspeed Team have had to withdraw. We will not be there. The race car is ready and in Los Angeles but the US won?t let us Brits in. So frustrating. It doesn?t matter what way we try there is currently no way we can get in to the US.

Maybe see you later in the year or 2021 or 2022...who knows?

  Dirt and pavement racing must teach you about track conditions and how to deal with them and transfering that knowledge to Bville,

  Tire pressure, tire size, spring rates, slick tracks ECT.

How would that car react with 60 lbs of tire pressure and solid suspension?

Hay Stainless if your out there and still walking on this earth the little RZ350 that you autographed the 150 MPH limit sticker and held court in our pits will be at speed week this year and you are more than welcome to stop by, I will try to have beverages available this time for  your pleasure and a lawn chair,  Lafe
No hat,just 100s of hours trying to get a RZ350 tiddler down course without blowing up. Most memorable moment is having Stainless sign our 150 speed limit decal.
