I may skip next weeks race and re-evaluate for August and September.
IMHO, it's not worth it. Unless you can wear a mask 100% of the time, I wouldn't.
This is a purely elective hobby. The risk may not be worth the reward.
It's crazy how different areas are responding to this. In the ATL metro area, I can see 90% of people in a grocery store wearing masks, but in rural GA, masks are far and few between and the off-the-charts per-capita infection rates are the result (I analyze this data for my company).
