Will it happen - views?

  When I read the pre entry form heres what it says about refunds.   If the event is cancelled by the SCTA/BNI because of weather or course conditions prior to Aug. 8, entry fee will be refunded less $100 processing charge. So I wonder if the event is cancelled for any other reason say because of a pandemic looks like a full refund would be in order.   :|

Burning Man pulled the plug on 2020 so.....

Speaking candidly, I'm taken aback by the degree of pessimism over something happening that's more than three months away, as well as the level of alarm expressed in so many of these posts. This really will pass and the VAST majority of those who of us who contact it will won't. Let's keep up the social distancing and try living as normally as possible.

QikNip:

Even if everybody were to go back to work tomorrow, it will take months for things to normalize. So, concern about a meet happening in August is not misplaced. So many things will play into whether SpeedWeek or World of Speed is held besides what those two organizations have to say. I am genuinely concerned as I think many racers are. I especially feel for International teams that have considerable resources on the line, many of which are non refundable.

I don?t mean to be negative but facts are what they are.

From the SCTA Facebook page:
The 2020 SW Pre-Entry Date Has Been Extended Until May 15th.
If you would like your entry to be in the SW Program you must either have it in the SCTA/BNI Office by the 15th or submitted online by 12:00 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time) on the 15th.
If you do not want to be in the SW Program, you can still enter online after the 15th.

Love it or Leave it, it sure brings in a lot of money to Northern Nevada.
There are a lot of non-burners who do pretty well off the freaks.
Local law enforcement and small businesses will feel the pinch.
I think Nevadans will welcome their money again in 2021. BLM will be broke.

I sent my pre-entry in yesterday. I'm thinking positive!! If it goes then I will be able to get lots of runs (hopefully without the flames) because the pessimists will be sitting at home wishing.

The best advice you can get about attending one of these events is to have a conversation with your doctor.  This is something that a lot of us do not do.

Right you are. This isn't going to over in a couple of weeks. A virus mutates, so last weeks wonder drug may nor work next week. Expect another round this coming winter. I know many Medical Doctors and Nurses, and we talk about coronavirus. I was born before WW II, so I'm in the prime age group to die during this pandemic. If they tell me to do something, I do.

He must have forgot to look at or update the BLM website.   

I just looked for our area and it states "all BLM Oregon and Washington state campgrounds and most day use areas are closed".

A lot of the great people who make these things happen for us all (The volunteers and organisers) are in their senior years. I personally would not want to see any of them affected by this virus.

[gowing]

It is pretty apparent that we have all been affected by this virus already whether we have contracted it or not.
From what I have seen, I wouldn't be trusting the bureaucrats (BLM) to do anything competent.

I don't see being out on the salt any riskier than being in a park, a walking trail, the beach, etc....
The hotels, restaurant's, are of course another matter.

Personally, I could get by with just the bend in the road, the gas station and Carmen's Black and White.
