L.A. mayor considers banning outdoor sports.....

[Randy Wells]

I left Missouri this morning, drove to North Dakota heading back to work. I drove through South Dakota on I 29, not much traffic, when I was north of Sioux City South Dakota, just north of town is a dirt track, the pits were full of late models and modified dirt cars, seen cars on the track and people in the stands, not sure if they were just hot lapping or racing, but looked pretty full to me, so there are people out there racing. Was wondering if Thunder Valley in Marion is open.

How close is that track to the Smithfield Pork Plant in South Dakota?

Smithfield plant is 100 miles south, Sioux Falls, but most effected there are migrants, pretty sure they don't run in the same circle.

I'm just trying to make some sense of all these people at this Dirt Track today? They are about 100 miles from what is now described as a NATION HOTSPOT for COVID-19, after the Smithfield announcement. A processing plant that has about 3700 employees. It has now been announced that close to 700 people, employees and people directly involved with those from the Plant have tested positive. With the pits full of Late Models and Modified Dirt Cars and people in the stands. Makes me wonder how many of the remaining 3000 people, may have attended this event? Meanwhile the rest of the people in THE WORLD have been ordered to stay out of the public and indoors if possible. What makes all these people attending and participating at this event SO SPECIAL that they don't have to follow the orders that have been given to the rest of THE WORLD, Hot Lapping or not? MB

Constitutionally speaking, state and local government.
That being said, I wouldn't sit in any grandstand ,in close proximity to other people, at this time, no matter where it is.

There are 8 states in the country that have little or no restrictions in place from there Governors. Both of the Dakota's being 2 of them. So probably not in violation. The whole world may have guidlines from The President, Dr Fauci, the W.H.O. , CDC or whoever but not necessarily law.
