Fall Fling

I drove down from Seattle and we are already down here. I have a non refundable hotel reservation Friday night. Don’t understand why no one checked in with the city?
 
People were calling the City asking what special protocols were going happen for this “event”. And vendors called asking about selling licensees. They did not want a “super-spreader” event.

I was at local fast food place 2 weeks ago and ate inside. Last week same place they said we could not eat inside.

Disneyland has had multiple false starts.

This is absolutely crazy. Government believes no citizen nor government itself can be responsible for their actions and decisions. They give no direction but make decisions on what doesn’t “feel” right.

October 20, 2020) Irwindale, CA - Officials from Irwindale Speedway & Event Center and Chrysler Performance West:

At the insistence of local officials, “Fall Fling 25th Anniversary,” has been canceled until a time when it can be assured that an event of this prestige can be hosted in a safe and successful manor. The event, previously scheduled for this Saturday, October 24th, was set to host a participant only Mopar Swap Meet and Drag Race on Irwindale Dragstrip. CPW and I.S.E.C. ask for patience and understanding from all participants as we look toward the future for possible collaborations.

All pre-paid participants will receive full refunds for the Saturday, October 24th event. Refunds will begin to be processed as soon as possible. Questions can be directed to [email protected] and [email protected]

They did not want a “super-spreader” event.
Honestly, I was wondering about that. People don't stay 6 feet apart at a car show so this decision, while I dislike it, does not surprise me.

I'm still flying to Ontario tonight at 6:40. Looking forward to spending three days with my Son.
 
Just got word a private closed driving event at a remote SoCal racetrack that got calls to local officials with Covid concerns. Two people contacted the organizer directly!

Less than 40 cars with mostly single driver spread out in pits. Otherwise inside the car driving in track. Sheriff and health official came out next day

Same thing happened for a large OC car cruise with people inside the cars.

Luckily these complaints went to Police that have some sensibility.

It seems people are actively searching out and targeting any gathering trying to cancel it due to Covid.

Our event was OK’d by City UNTIL people called in.

Beware!
