Will it happen - views?

Wow!  Imagine that!  Only a little more than 3 months away and it looks great!

Make you plans.  Figure it all out.  And then, 3 or 4 days before the event, check again.  Or show up and see, when you're there, it's shitt.

Every year we go thru this same old dance.  Listen to the music, sing along, sway with the rhythm, it's wonderful (or not).

Either plan to go, if you have to, get ready (things will still be ready 2 or 3 months later), and stand back (Stan Back), and see what happens.

Where was the famous quote from?  (". . . and you're only jerking off.).

Stan,

You crack me up.    Your post is right on. Only Mother Nature knows for sure.

PS. For those that want to go, put your money down and roll the dice.

I have not seen a time limit on the online sign up. Might go well into the season so comes down to 1) you want your name in the book or 2) the extra $ for late sign up. Either way if the meet is cancelled late, there are expenses done and track prep and etc that they will want covered so not full refunds in any case. If for some reason they cancel like day after tomorrow I'd expect (but not holding breath) full refund. Think of all the money you are saving on gas and stuff staying home (well, many of us anyway) and not going out to eat. More than the entry you get to eat...... :clap

Agreed Peter, we have the additional problem of getting across the border. It would be a real bugger if the race goes on and we can?t get there because of some  political BS

....see it from the other side of the pond.....like Germany (and also England)....

- will be the border open
- will be there a airline which is flying
- will this airline fly to the right destination
- will be there a ticket on that flight
- what will cost the ticket....affordable....

my room in Wendover is confirmed....

all other....? ? ? ? ? ?.......

like to be back with my camera at the  salt after I missed the most meets in the last three years....

the virus of speed is so worse as corona......

PorkPie, you have a room confirmed but will it be open come August? Still quite a few big questions unanswered and it is nobody in the LSR communities fault.

Has anyone thought about calling the hotels and or the casinos to find out any information.

Check with Warren Buffet. He's selling his airline stock, at a loss. https://money.usnews.com/investing/news/articles/2020-05-02/berkshire-sells-entire-stakes-in-us-airlines-buffett If the economy is so bad that Buffet is bailing, gambling may well take a big hit. In a world where airline flights are down 95%, where will NHRA, NASCAR and Indycar get sponsorship money?

Marcello sure looks lonely.  The Salt Flats Cafe is posting daily specials on Facebook so I know they're open, but still -- I'd sure like to stop in for some enchiladas and say hi to all.

Do you really think the casinos have any clue when they will reopen?
It's not up to them anyways.  If we had national leadership and a plan....
No Tests = No Fun.  When we have  real time stats things will loosen up.

Gosh....That strikes me as being political. Hope no one gets all huffy about it.

Researchers double U.S. COVID-19 death forecast, citing eased restrictions

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A newly revised coronavirus mortality model predicts nearly 135,000 Americans will die from COVID-19 by early August, almost double previous projections, as social-distancing measures for quelling the pandemic are increasingly relaxed, researchers said on Monday...

...The revised IHME projections coincided with disclosure of an internal Trump administration forecast predicting a surge in COVID-19 cases killing 3,000 Americans a day by the end of May, up from a current daily toll that a Reuters tally places at around 2,000.

That projection, first reported by the New York Times and confirmed by a Reuters source, also forecast about 200,000 new coronavirus cases each day by the end of the month, up from the current rate of about 25,000 cases every 24 hours.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa-idUSKBN22G1T3

L.A. Times says: As of May 4, 7:07pm 56,134 confirmed COVID 19 cases and 2287 deaths in California.

Reality doesn't care about politics.

[floydjer]

Reality? Hmm. How many cases would we have were the borders closed prior to the outbreak in China? Puppies are in the safe room with the cocoa.

[JoeRider677]

with everything going on .... I have not heard much about the condition of the salt. Has anyone had a look at the salt recently?

[jacksoni]

Somebody posted photos on the SCTA facebook page from mid April showed no standing water. ie Good!

[ski123]

I'm sure the State of Utah wants this event to happen, right?
