I think most of the track holdouts are starting to face reality. NASA TX just canceled their April event. COTA is canceling everything now through May 31 - private rentals like HPDE were still on but that is all done now. That means the Rolling Stones concert there at the end of May too - the freaking Stones man, ugh!
WRL still thinks they are going to race at Mid-Ohio the first weekend in April... good luck with that. The highlight of my track year was going to be racing in the TCR 500 at Spa Francorchamps in May. They have said nothing about the status of the race yet but do not see that one happening either. Was going to be epic We ran the M3 yesterday at our local track. Decided we are just going to shut it down now until the BMW CCA race at COTA in June. Use this time to tie up all the loose ends with the car. Our local track (Harris Hill) is shutting down starting next week anyways for a scheduled repave so any track time now is going to require a bit of travel. Just going to spend this time now on the car & when everything starts to normalize out (hopefully soon) be ready to hit it hard.

Some people are hoarding toilet paper, I've just placed a huge order of brake rotors and pads!
I imagine H1/S1 track days will all be cancelled just H2/S2 hopefully will work out |

I’m hearing COTA is in the ditch financially. This won’t help it.

That being said I can pretty much guarantee that are not many high overhead business owners who aren’t completely puckered up right now.

There have been cancellations but TX tracks are still open.
If you do go to the track bring extra socks...just in case they run out of toilet paper. Just a sample of my army training.

They lost out on a $25M credit for the USGP by not filing paperwork on time for their anti-human trafficking plan. Really stupid mistake. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...lion/39465967/

Personally, I can't justify going to the track in this environment.

Was gonna go to MSRH this Sunday with several people (member day), but as a group we decided to cancel it. I fully support our host’s decision..no need to put ourselves at risk and potentially waste medical resources. I bought a GoPro for the occasion since I left mine in Austin, and I can’t return it lol.
Maybe we can do sim racing together? |

you bring up another valid point. The economy is going to tank big time, many businesses will close and many people will lose their jobs. Not the best time to blow tons of money on the track

Sigh, Thunderhill has just cancelled all events thru April. I was really hoping the 4/3 trackday was going to happen, im sooooooo bored. I spent MANY late nites in the shop prepping my e30 to be track worthy again, my wife is gonna mention all that time i spent in the shop for nothing FOR SURE!

SCCA as of yesterday has cancelled all events through April.
My friend's hpde group was planning to run on the 11th, but MSR Cresson told them they will not be able to, I hear however that some members out there are still driving. I've resolved myself to just getting the car buttoned up until this all passes. My maintenance to-do list seems to have grown again...

The BMWCCA used to run there, but haven't seen anything lately. Bucket list track I'd like to go to in case things go bad there. Thanks! .

Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."

Not really, a lot of the TX groups don't use MotorsportReg or ClubRegistration. We have a big Facebook group for HPDE/TT/autocross.
