Thank you Rare Snake, I too am torn, I’ve spent (and will spend more) of my retirement money getting into this sport. My wife has lately gone through aggressive cancer & chemo, ending up with pulmonary embolisms, putting her into an even more vulnerable position along with her (and my) advanced age. I want to enjoy my wife, my life, and my sport (which she also supports). I chafe to get out at the track and I appreciate all the consideration and care that the members and leadership of the WSCC are taking to thread through this minefield, Thank-you! peace, David

What time/place do we meetup?

Yaaa, NO!

Newbie: what’s a ‘Pete Special’? Depending what that is, I’d be game.

I’d be up for Sunday, we should be good with ON if we don’t stop on the ON side.

I noticed that there is no mention of brake equipment mods. I looked ‘cause I’m going to install a BBK.

Sunday would be great for me!

@ Matter: I could see protocol topics such as: Registration: online only have all paperwork submitted via email 2 days prior to the event Meetings (marshals, drivers, etc): take place outdoors maintaining social distancing use of megaphone / mic / amp / speaker handouts of track layout with basic rules du jour Ride - alongs: only house hold members Washroom sanitation: YES - LOTS (frequent sanitizing) and/or installation of hands free: hand sanitizers wash faucets paper towel dispensers (definitely NOT air blowing hand driers) toilets & urinal flushing Instruction, drivers and instructors in contact via cell phones (doubtful of efficacy): all drivers have hands free earpiece / microphone with cell phone instructors in a location where the entire track is visible or following in a chase vehicle marshals enforce social distancing measures I'm sure there are more. Peace, David

I'd be all in for a Spring Drive. Social distancing wouldn't be a problem during a drive, special care would need to be taken at any rallying points. Technically, any gathering of over 10 people would be against the current health measures . . . but then, nobody seemed to get into trouble at the May 9 Anti-lockdown rally of 70 people, evidently organized as groups of 10 people, with 1 meter spacing between groups. We could have groups of less than 10 people gathering at various rally points and join up for the drive. peace, David

As much as I would like to get my Z out to Gimli, I would hate to be involved in an event, only to find out 10-14 days later that one of the organizers/stewards/volunteers ended up being infected. Just. NOT. Worth. IT! If you aren't being careful for yourself, be careful for others! peace, David
