WSIR?

Postby Tom Helvey on Mon Apr 27, 2020 7:03 pm

Eventually someone had to ask this question, sorry.
Are we still going to be able to do this?
TT vs DE events should allow for physical distancing.
We're not going to have a tightly packed audience and it's physically impossible to get within 6' of another driver on a track no matter how insane you are.
Do masks work inside of helmets?
Even the most tightly packed paddock I've ever seen had plenty of room for physical distancing.
The drivers meeting and day end celebrations may be a bit weird, but we could still stand around outside with masks on for those. That's probably the new normal for a while.
I think we can figure out how to do TT track events with minimal risk, I really hope WSIR doesn't get cancelled.
I've been doing ad-hoc back country tours with a friend just to satisfy my Jones, need to track my race car. :rockon:
There is a way to do it safely.
Thanks

Instructors, drivers and students,

Many of you have asked or are beginning to wonder about our upcoming scheduled event this May at WSIR. After careful consideration, with much reluctance, and taking into account the recommendations of the Federal Government, the State of California and Los Angeles County, the TT/DE team, with the backing of the SDR Board of Directors, has decided to cancel this event.
Our reasons for doing this include, but are not limited to the safety of all participants and fairness of competition for those who are running for points and who may not want to risk attending an event while we are all supposed to be practicing social distancing. We also feel that this event may not be financially viable depending on the number of participants who would be willing to go during this pandemic.
We hope that you are all staying safe and practicing social distancing so that we can all get through this crisis as soon and safely as possible. We look forward to seeing you all as soon as we can safely do so and are hopeful that are Fall schedule of events can go forward as planned.
Thank you,

Greg Phillips and the TT/DE team. :surr:
