Coronavirus and Driving Events

Postby Tom Helvey on Thu Mar 12, 2020 6:34 pm

I just got this from SCCA: https://www.scca.com/articles/2013511-s ... -statement
For radios, we should get electronics grade isopropyl alcohol (99%) if we can, and disinfect them for each corner working session if possible.
I don't have any on-hand, maybe someone else does. Something along the lines of: https://www.amazon.com/Tech-Spray-Wipes ... B00245LVUC would work fine. I just bought a box of those, I'll have them for the next AX event.
I'll bring an unused box of nitrile gloves I got to keep my hands clean when fiddling with my tires for the waiver and signup folks.
I think driving events should be relatively safe for participants, they are outdoors and there is plenty of opportunity for social distancing.

Since the panicked have horded isopropyl alcohol, everclear may be the best alternative

I have a bottle of isopropanol for cleaning my glasses in my autocross bag, feel free to disinfect anytime. Blue bag by yellow Cayman.

Driving opportunity:
Open Friday practice days going forward @ Buttonwillow.
All with full blessing, as derived by the knowledge & science based logic process of Devin Nunes no less.

another alternative is denatured alcohol at Home Depot or Lowes

Add the April 11-12 SDR DE event to the cancelled list. :surr:

If you had reserved a cabin or lodging go ahead and cancel that also.

Keeping our fingers crossed for our next big track event at Willow Springs at the end of May  :bowdown:

Keep Calm and wash your hands :beerchug:
