Us up north racers still need the border to open. The US and Canada governments just agreed to keep it closed till at least June 21. And we still need the hotels open :-(

Ron Main sent this along for me to post:

"Welcome to Wendover"


No one is denying the importance of stopping the coronavirus.

However, we have over two months before we give our final decision.  We will be monitoring all the all progress being made on treatments and the other reopenings, along with the salt conditions in Wendover.  It is not about having 100% safety; life just does not work that way.



The Wendover Nugget and Red Garter Is Proud to announce that plan to open June 4.

The Rainbow and Montego Bay is Proud to announce they will opening June 4.

The Pepper Mill is Proud to announce They will be opening on June 5.

Remaining in shutdown also has risks as it can cripple millions without jobs, income, losing our homes and savings and causing a vicious prolonged depression.  US sales fell 46%, US unemployment is at 25%, and auto production dropped over 70% in April. Airlines' passenger traffic has fallen to zero.

They will have Employee Temperature Screening, and Face Coverings, along with Guest Temperature Screening Hand sanitizer dispensers and Physical Distancing.

Most of the population has not been infected, and of course is susceptible.  But, if we decide to have the event in August, at least we can allow for the participants to make their own decisions.  Once the final decision is made each participant will need make their own personal decision due to age, physical condition, and travel requirements.

Respectfully,

A lot of it left town in rail cars used by the seldom-mentioned Intrepid Salt Co.

Steve.

  Just made reservations at the Nugget after calling 800 number, Aug 6 to 14 $1753 or $194.77 per night avg.

   Tried online but every hotel was sold out for those dates, yeah right.

   Not lower.

Since BMST is cancelled, we have been talking about attending speedweek as spectators.
The high room rates have us reconsidering.

For the Montego Bay, Peppermill, and Rainbow, you have to select one of the "Speed Week Packages" to book a room during that period.

Hmmm - the "Speed Week Packages" link was up for a while, but is not active now.  I'm surprised that the Montego Bay, Peppermill, and Rainbow are not yet taking reservations for Speed Week.
