I think it's their second attempt at doing a combined event, yes; first one was supposed to be this past summer. Looking forward to it!

And now it's been extended to July 21 :(

Thanks so much to those of you from Cascade, FOPIR, the track, and whoever else for working so hard for so long to make this possible. I can't wait!

Yes, a ban on non-essential, cross-border crossings has been extended to June 21.

That sounds an awful lot like the variance that Pacific Raceways said they were waiting for in order to reopen for selected events, such as the SCCA/SOVREN event next week-end that so many Conference members are signed up for. Edit: Well, maybe? The phrase "They conduct only those activities...

(By the way, I didn't post this here because I think y'all are dim and needed to have it explained so much as I needed to get it off my chest and had nowhere else to put it. Believe me, I'm really, really hoping Conference can figure out a way to get our season started on time.)
