Lads,

Due to COVID-19, the governor of Oregon has placed the state in a state of emergency (21 cases of COVID-19 in the entire STATE) and ordered that gatherings of 250 or more people are forbidden. As such, the governing body of most Oregon races (OBRA) has suspended the racing season for 4 weeks. Because of the governor's order, the USAC races in Oregon will probably also have to be canceled (based on allowable field size plus staff). They are giving the promoters the option to reschedule their events, but that would likely require reapplying for road permits and whatnot, so I'm not holding my breath. It seems that I'll be hitting BWR (if it's allowed to happen) with Z E R O race fitness in my legs.

Is anyone else feeling these ripples? What is to become of the promoters that barely eek out a living?
