All depends on how much time I have and what happens in the next month.
Yknow what would go great with that new suspension setup? Some reasonably-priced SPL FLCAs that I happen to still have.

I'll have to think about it. I am trying to build parts for the car since I have a bunch of stainless sheet that is scrap here and I spent a good part of my mods budget for the year already.

No updates AFAIK, but I can't imagine we'll be heading to the track anytime soon given how things have developed. Anybody seeing news from other organizers?

Pretty much the same. I don't see anything happening until May at the earliest.

Guess I will be lapping Nordschleife in AC for now

Yep. Halfway through building my sim rig in the basement right now. Been playing a bit of iRacing. Certainly helps scratch the itch.

I just have a G920 for my xbox. I'd like to build a PC and upgrade to the CSL elite so I can get into iRacing.

Besides all events being cancelled, only Porsche Club is scheduling events starting in May.

Welp. The ridge seems to be closed until at least May. I don't see us getting back out there this season. Track days are such a tiny, unimportant thing in the grand scheme of things but I'm super bummed regardless :/

ACCO thinks they're running a track day at ORP next weekend.

I don't think it's prudent, but that's just me.

They're waiting to see if the state will let them run, I guess ( I can't imagine they will). Might have a spot for sale if they actually run it/won't refund me.

Just heard from Tom that the Ridge is expected to hold events again starting on the 14th. I'm still skeptical but hopefully that pans out!

Really? I’m kind of surprised. Oregon extended its stay home order until July 6th.

Slight clarification. State of emergency order extended to july 6, that's not 1:1 to stay at home order, necessarily.

That's what he said. We'll see if it actually pans out. I can't make it out till the June events anyway. Continuing to build the sim rig until then
