Racing in a pandemic environment
Posted: Sun May 03, 2020 4:48 pm
All,
The SCCA has posted some guidelines on how to run a race event during the
pandemic. Obviously, local guidance comes first but there is also tailored guidance
for the event to follow.
You can read these at https://www.scca.com/pages/covid-19-event-guidelines
As you can see, they are focused on the event itself and how the specialties will have to
take special precautions.
We as drivers need to be aware of these new procedure and willingly go along. What they do not say
is how drivers should conduct themselves in the paddock. If you are in a group sharing an awning
or trailer, think about how you will keep separation with the other drivers. This consideration should also extend to activities off the track.
This is our way to safely go back racing until the global "all clear".
