Update 11/18/20: I just spoke with La Paz County Park Director and we are preliminarily a go for the Absolute Speed & Marine 74th Annual Thanksgiving Regatta presented by Nick Rose Insurance. I have a final conference call tomorrow (Thursday, November 19, at 9:00 am) to iron out final details.

Most likely the following:

• All teams will get temperature check when they come into the park or pit area.
• Masks will be recommended (NOT required) and social distancing will be recommended (NOT required).

The following goes without saying:

• If you are sick, feel sick, have been sick within the last month, have been in contact with someone who has been sick or has tested positive or know someone who tested positive for COVID in the last month DO NOT COME TO THE RACE!!

We've had ZERO cases of COVID reported at both Bakersfield and the Enduro and we'd like to keep this streak intact!!

Questions, please contact Ross - 310-318-4012 or rpmracingent@yahoo.com
