Speed Week Update #1 ? 5/7/2020:
We had one major choice in front of us this year concerning the Bonneville National?s Speed Week 2020. Should we keep our plans in motion or should we stop and cancel it due to Covid19?
After much discussion, we have decided to proceed with our plans and we hope by August we will have a better handle on safety. It is now the beginning of May and we are still uncertain, but pushingahead. The volunteer lists are in place and entries are coming in. Safety and management is our top priority.
The SCTA & BNI remain optimistic, but we understand that this year more than any in recent history has given us many hurdles to overcome. Generally, our most pressing concern would be the salt condition, but this year our first concern is the virus and safety.
We are currently discussing and making plans on how to keep everyone protected. This includes the racers, crew, spectators and of course our long list of volunteers.
As we move forward, each and every individual will have to carefully weigh the risk factor for themselves and others in their crew. Everyone must understand what we are up against and they need to make their own personal decision on whether to attend or not. ?Social Distancing? is now a part of our daily lives, that plus good old common sense will go a long way toward keeping everyone safe.
We will keep everyone updated. At this point, Bonneville Speed Week is still a Go until we have a definitive No Go from the state of Utah or other sources. We cannot forecast when or if we will have to change plans.
Until then, we hope to see you on the salt.
