Track Event Cancellation Information
Would it be unreasonable to have a thread with listings of event cancellations without having to wade through all the opinions and name calling?

Is there anything that was supposed to take place over the next 2 weeks that hasn't been cancelled yet?
Might be a much shorter list and easier to "wade" through if we list the ones that HAVE NOT been cancelled yet.
Just a thought...

The NCM event was cancelled today, was to start on Friday. Hard to assume everything is cancelled at this point. Attitudes are changing quickly (see the Orange Man)
I'm signed up for many events between now and June, none cancelled yet, but assume they will be. It would be nice to get confirmation.

I don't want to be holier-than-tho but I think it is unreasonable to not give people a little room to air their feelings right now. Sure the other thread got a little heated here and there but nothing out of line has been said.
The paddock is filled with A-type men and women who have strong beliefs and strong opinions so I'm surprised anyone feels the need for a "safe space thread." I've drank beers with people while we were still bleeding from a fight we just had, and cursed out a competitor during a race only to give him a hug afterwards (only if I won!)
Civility would be nice but lets not deny that we all have a lot on our minds.
PS - Bourbon helps in times like this.

This is obviously a very dynamic situation. I reached out to Dave Peters at https://hpdejunkie.com to see if they can put together a way to update event changes as they occur. For those of you who haven't been to their website, it is a one stop shop for nearly every HPDE/track day at tracks in the US and Canada and a very comprehensive listing of event operators. Hopefully Dave and his team can find a way to build this in quickly.
Based on information I received today from COTA, they will be impacted by new restrictions announced earlier today. The new restrictions limits events to 10 or fewer people and are stated to be in place until May 1st. They expect to provide us more information in early April on whether we will be impacted at our late May event.

Yeah, April SCDA cancelled. One of mine down, x to go.......
Good afternoon SCDA Glen drivers,
I regret to inform you that we have to cancel the April 27-28 Watkins Glen event due to the coronavirus. We were informed by the track today that they are shutting down for the month of April.
Although a difficult decision, it is the correct one. Watkins Glen is a destination track that requires a fair amount of travel, lodging and restaurants for most. Unfortunately with supporting facilities closing down and state guidelines on crowd sizes, Watkins Glen International has decided to stay closed for the month of April.
During this difficult time for us all, we are keeping your safety and health as our top priority. We are following all state and CDC guidelines to prevent the spread of the virus. Fortunately for us, these events are mainly outdoors and our procedures will be modified as necessary to abide by and exceed the guidelines. At the moment this is the only event to be cancelled on our 2020 calendar. Please note that we still have TWO more dates at Watkins Glen Int'l for this year: July 13-14 and Aug 31- Sep 1. In addition we still have over 30 tracks days still scheduled for the season! https://scda1.com/season-schedule/
From a financial standpoint, we ask you keep a credit on file towards any future event this year or beyond. Once you know your date, simply email me ( elivan@scda1.com ) your chosen date(s) and we will transfer your entry. Please also email me with any questions.
Thank you for understanding and we hope that you and your families stay healthy.
We look forward to seeing you soon once we get through this, just imagine how great it will be to get on track!
Kind regards,
Elivan Goulart
