Spoke with a bunch of friends the past few days, almost all have the feeling this summer will be some type of lock down, mandatory or voluntary. Their #1 goal is being here in 2021.

Florida just went statewide on its stay at home order and health officials there are now saying the peak infection rate won't happen for 4 weeks and then they believe it'll slowly drop off. So, the first Gators date will probably not work out. VA. is on lockdown until at least June 10 which won't help preparations for the Bristol race. Right now, I would gladly take a trip to Indy in August and call it a year - providing that all of us can do it safely.

Its really hard to tell right now what to expect. The first race after the interruption is mid May at Atlanta. That is 6 weeks away. we are in the 3rd week of this crap right now. If it goes another 6 weeks the economy will be in such shambles there might not be any racing. Lets hope by the end of April things have loosened back up and we can get back to life. Personally I think its a bit overblown. In any contagious disease there more extreme numbers in highly populated cities like we are seeing now. Plus you cant believe anything that comes from the media. We are really at a crossroad with the election coming up. If the American public continues to elect the type of people that we have in recent history we could be in a world of hurt.
