Any chatter?

What would a race track be classified as? A live performance venue?

A large venue.

Showtime Speedway in St. Petersburg, Florida (asphalt) is planning and hoping to run a late model race on May 2nd. It is pay per view only, no fans in attendance.

The land in California is ridiculously valuable so, with only a couple of exceptions, all tracks are on state & county fairgrounds property. Last weekend one of the private tracks had a 3 car practice session, rented probably, with no spectators. We got word while clearing our property for the inevitable coming fire season but wouldn't have gone anyway.

The granddaughter's boyfriend also went to a river bottom dirt bike track with his new Honda for a similar session with several bikes. He said it was weird with few bikes and no spectators and the social distancing thing.

With the distinct possibility of lawsuits at tracks should a person even claim to get the bug while there I really see little possibility of racing in this state for quite a while at any non private owned facilities. Positive thing is plenty of time to get both cars ready without the usual thrash. We love racing but it isn't worth getting sick over it.

This South Dakota track actually made an ESPN article for planning to run. State is one of the least hit from the virus so I could see this happening.

I know people coming from Wisconsin to go to that race in South Dakota.
