MASKED UP AND LOOKING STYLISH.
WooooHooo! We’re back at it and racing again! In fact, a record number of riders
showed up to race the afternoon classes alone (over 1800 riders!) at the Bulldog
GNCC in Washington, Georgia! It was not without a tremendous amount of work by
Carrie Russell, Tim Cotter and the Safe-to-Race Task Force. The race was perfectly
conducted in compliance with social distancing guidelines and best practices as
recently issued by the Safe-to-Race Task Force.
According to race director Tim Cotter, the Safe-to-Race Task Force was a combination
of 42 people from all disciplines of the racing industry, as well as experts from
the medical industry, the informationa technology industry, government relations,
Homeland Security and people from the National Institute of Health, who met and
came up with a 23-page document designed to devise a plan to conduct races and
events without spreading infectious diseases.
