Any teams going from the East? Would you be willing to pick up some wheels at the track and bring them East. I'm in Rochester NY but almost anywhere in Ohio, PA or NY would be a help. Pls Let me know

Yes that's been my experience... just confirming. Thx

Sorry if this was cover earlier and I missed it but.... Chicane or no Chicane. The supp's show no chicane.

That was not Ron and it wasn't me. It was our renter driver Frank who lost position just before this to CC.

Thx for the info. I'll be a Road Atl. so I hope I hear while I'm there!!

Looking forward to this 2021 series.. Thx so much for making this happen! Was the 2020 random drawing winner announced?

All, Ztek Racing. here. First congrats to BBY for their first place finish and an excellent job driving all day. The rain made it fun, challenging and super exciting . I saw a lot of patience and respect for other drivers out there, hence the no pace car required. The rain is a great equalizer as it helped us recover from early mishaps (yes several). We had a lot of great battles with a lot of great teams. And after 11 hours of racing we moved up to 3rd (w/o EC) and closing in on 2nd (Mostly MoterSports RX-7). We were closing a few seconds a lap with less than a hour to go... With less than 30 mins we closed the gap to a few seconds, the Mostly MoterSports RX-7 spun in the turn after the bridge to allow us to move into and finish second. Thanks ChampCar, HMS MotorSports (as we won the $100 gift certifcate), Thomspson and the other sponsors. Great event!!

Ztek here Great event and great racing. Thx to ChampCar and all the other competitors. Saturday we to had our issues mostly due to communications as for some reason our radios where not working well all weekend. That caused 2 extra pit stops in Saturdays race due to the lack of communications. We had 2 drivers myself and Dave Palermo. In the last stint, I started in 4th overall and 2nd in class. I saw Ron's (Visceral) pit tent get lowered so I figured they had an issue and were out so now I was in 3rd (but actually I was 2nd). Without coms I didn't know if I needed to push or if I could conserve fuel. I chose to conserve and at least salvage a podium position over going hard and running out of fuel. Then I saw Premium Dudes duck into the pits for fuel. But I still I had to be careful with fuel as I was getting low and the car would stumble out if the last corner on to the front straight. I was circulating in 5th gear waiting for the finish with no idea how much time was left. Relief came when I saw JSK on the side in T4. It was stumbling badly by now and I thought I wasn't going to make it and then the Checker flew... First Place !!! Exciting finish for sure. Sunday we started last and worked up to 5th overall and first in class. With less than 2 hours to go I had the lower control arm strut bolt shear off and pitted for repairs. We replaced the bolt, lost a lug nut in the process, did our last fuel and driver change but it dropped us to 12th overall and 2nd in class. A great weekend Congrats to my other team Ron and Visceral for there win on Sunday.

NYS Reopening Protocol – May 4, 2020 Strategy: Chart a course for reopening, change if necessary based on the data. Start with least risky businesses and activities, gradually open up to more risky if metrics support it. Metrics: Percentage and rate of hospitalizations + Diagnostic testing + Contact tracing = Rt – 1.1, where Rt is rate of transmission Reopen in phases. If Rt > 1.1, then infections are growing and must STOP and regroup. Regional Plan  Monitor number of new infections, health care capacity, testing and contact tracing  Minimum requirements for regional reopening: o 14-day decline in total hospitalizations (3-day rolling avg.) o Fewer than 2 new COVID-19+ patients/100 K population. o Reserves required to handle a surge: 30% of total hospital and ICU beds o 90-day supply of PPE at the hospitals o Testing capacity: 30 tests per 1K residents o Contact tracing: 30 contact tracers per 100K residents  Businesses must develop an acceptable a plan to provide a safe workplace and enforce mandated/recommended safety protocols (social distancing, masks, hand-washing stations, testing). Phase 1: Essential businesses with minimal public contact  Construction  Manufacturing  Select retail Phase 2: Phase 1 and the following  Professional services  Finance / Insurance  Real Estate: rental and leasing Roll-out  May 15: “NY Pause” expires, Phase 1 begins in regions that meet requirements.  “Businesses must not attract visitors from other regions or states”  Outcomes evaluated after two weeks (i.e. end of May). If Rt remains below 1 during Phase 1, state will consider opening Phase 2.

I hate to be a Debbie downer but....... From Cuomo's press conference today He will open some essential businesses May15, no hotels or restaurants. Will look at next level of opening in June.

Thanks!!!
