10th Annual Michigan 24 Hour Endurance Race

[Aloha]

As an outsider looking in I am happy to see this event is not being cancelled but postponed to a future date. Good luck all!

[Pappy]

Mike,

Grizzly Racing has five confirmed drivers, waiting on two more to respond, so we are good to go.

[Pappy]

There is one good thing about the race being postponed, we still have it to look forward to.😀

[Mikeinclover]

Yes that's true Butch but unfortunately we still are waiting for you to show up. LOL

I'm always there, Mike. It's just that I'm usually so far out ahead of you you can't see me.

Ask Smokieo, he sees me in his rearview mirror all the time.

[Smokeio]

You're not as bad as when Rob is behind me. He reminds me of hemorrhoids.

Glad to see the race is postponed and not canceled. I always enjoy reading, and watching when I can, about the endurance slot car races. I've never been able to participate in any but they always seem like a lot of fun.

[Pappy]

Smokeio, Rob is only like hemorrhoids to the competition. To us he's like Preparation H. That's why we have him on our team, it's very soothing when he's irritating the competition.

The border is now officially closed until the end of September, and that shutdown will probably be renewed month by month until 2021. And with the current situation in the US (on many levels), this is not a good time to travel anyway. I guess we'll see everyone next April. Stay safe everyone (on many levels).

[Mikeinclover]

Well Christian beat me to the punch but I basically want to let everyone know that the Michigan 24 hour race will not be happening in September like we hoped. I myself think we should probably put it off until next April. With the weather it will be to hard to plan any type of racing in the winter months. Hope this is not to big of a surprise for everyone. If you have any questions or input please let me know.

Bummer, but the right call.

I wouldn't want to race if everyone couldn't be there. I want to win this race more than anything but I want to win it fair and square. I don't want an asterisk next to our win because a vital member of a team couldn't cross the border.

Christian, have you thought about maybe flying to Mexico and crossing that border, the wall isn't finished yet? There's got to be a way to work this out.

[cgingras]

Not considering myself as vital to the team (just a member like everyone else) and if it's possible for you to get the race going without us from Canada, I have absolutely no problem with it. Team Slot Car Corner has seen a few driver changes in the past and it always works out. So, if Georges and I are not there for one year, no problem. This virus will not be going away anytime soon, it seems.

Actually, anyone from Canada can fly to the US and this is perfectly legal. Only the land borders are closed. But we would have to quarantine in the US before the race and then quarantine again when coming back to Canada. Taking a full month off work for a 24-hour race is not what I had in mind.

We could put a team together here in the states to represent CANADA! I bet Pappy would put a Canadian flag on his car.
