I race in the Sportsman bracket class at Knoxville Dragstrip, and they are now open! http://www.knoxvilledragstrip.com/ 

Which is a positive sign of moving forward out of COVID lockup and back at the tracks.

How about everyone else?

Tracks are opening in Ontario, Canada May 19 for events with no spectators and social distancing in place (hopefully people can be responsible and do that but based on what I saw when the mountain bike trails opened I doubt it). Our two local road courses have open lapping sessions the following days so I'm looking forward to getting back on track over the next month, hopefully do some weekday sessions when it is less busy.

Nearest track to me is opening back up...  

too bad it's just across the border, and Canada is still putting a hold on 'non-essential' travel.  

So, not official yet, but looking like I'm not getting to try out a new-to-me E36 M3 (the car!) June 1st and 8th

I'm going to an autocross tomorrow in Jacksonville. The four other clubs that I race with are all still on hold. 

The closest track is Daytona international Speedway. They're going to be running IMSA on July 4th.

I got permission from the landlord to open my track in the back parking lot.  My R/C Racetrack.  ;)

Sacramento County now allows only outdoor recreation facilities to open, still can't open the indoor track.

The kart track we ride motorcycles on has been "open" the whole time. The rental side was closed, and only people with yearly memberships could drive on the pro-track side, no day rate. A little over a week ago the rental side opened up and they held their first race on the pro track last weekend. People can now drive on the pro side with day passes. I feel fairly comfortable with the space/distancing associated with driving on the pro side, but I'm a bit shocked that people want to go drive the rental karts. Numbers are down a bit, but there is a fairly steady stream of people all weekend shoving their heads in rental helmets.

Pineview Run Auto & Country Club has been open, but only if you are a club member. Even the events that were open to the public are now member-only.

Brooksville with PCA mid June, but that instantly filled up within a day, even without Covid-19, it would have filled that fast lol.

I did a track event at the FIRM this past weekend.

In reply to z31maniac :

I was planning to attend the new track meeting, but held off due to possible crap weather. Hoping to see some actual information on what they wanted to pitch. Saw the overhead track layout, and it looks like a lot of tight turns.

Well, actually Wednesday the local drag strip is opening. They already have a pretty good sized event this weekend.

I should be at Mid-Ohio today. The track was ok with it but the county health department was unreachable, so they didn't open.

 

Given that it's pouring rain right now, I don't feel like I'm missing all that much.
