We have partnered with KS Region on renting a 20’ x 30’ tent for Solo Nationals. The tent is scheduled to be located at the west end of Row 8 in the paddock. A maximum of 40 people can be accommodated in a group for the tent. Not sure how that translates to those who will be there for two days only.

Had some cars wreck and break, per usual. Ed was 3rd GTL Saturday and 2nd Sunday. Roy Lopshire, Steve Johnson and others were there to represent KCR. STL folks had masks all the time, most of the others were wearing masks were appropriate and there were marks for distancing everywhere. Area director Chris Albin and Dad both had the virus and are recovering for over a month and still not 100%. This virus is no joke.
