The Lime Rock Park IMSA race which was supposed to take place July, had been re-scheduled, twice now. First they moved it to Halloween. Cool, but have they ever been to LRP in October? It gets cold and dark pretty early. Then they were like, hey, yeah, good thinking, let's move the race date to September 11. Ok awesome, as long as we can attend.
But, since CT is in this phase 2 of "reopening", and now they require travelers from certain states to quarantine, the race has been completely canceled. And it has been replaced with the Charlotte ROVAL of all things.
It just sucks. This carrot dangling in front of us, and then nothing. I am sure some of you are in the same shoes. Maybe you had travel plans, or some concert or entertainment this year. And it's all fucked now.
Of course we will buy tickets for next years race as soon as they go on sale. We even plan on being at the track later this year...but if the track is closed to spectators, we will just go to the hotel for fun hotel sex.
The folks over at LRP gave us 125% value of our tickets as credit towards future purchase. I just hope we can make use of it.

I rented a Les Paul to Foreigner a few years ago. I was a backup and never got used, but the guitar made it home safely and I was a few bucks richer hehe

Canceled Nickleback concert sounds like a blessing?
I heard they been playing empty concerts for years, so they did not even know covid was a thing!
Speaking of Travel. We were supposed to fly to Poland in June. When the president made his TV speech about the borders closing, my heart just sank. I always love to visit the homeland, and it's such a great experience for my son. I think if anything, that was the main reason I was so sad. And then they took racing away.
I am so happy I have this sim racing hobby. I am so happy I got back into it, just in time for this lock down! I mean, Christ what would we all be doing if we didn't race Saturday nights?
