One of the mods hid this thread for fear it would spiral out of control and he's probably more right than wrong.
But I'm gonna unhide it and see if Bobby's question can be addressed in a civil manner. If not, this thread will indeed disappear.
A couple of posts prior to this one did not address Bobby's question, but brought new points into the discussion. which is not what is wanted.
To repeat, Bobby asked, "Wondering what everyone's thoughts are on this concerning the upcoming Retro Rumble... Just looking for thoughts about the race, not opinions of the vaccine or the virus."
Nor opinions or questions about the validity of information channels, percentage of patient mortality, etc., etc., etc.
Like Bobby and Rick, I am playing this one day by day, and considering every source of information I feel to be reliable.
I am as concerned as Bobby and Rick are about the resurgence of COVID cases and deaths, largely for very personal reasons. I think I'm at eight or nine people I personally knew who have died from COVID, including four close friends in the slot racing community, several of whom were exceedingly healthy.
I am also the leader for an event at the train museum scheduled to happen in late November-early December, to involve several hundred people over four weekends. My angst as to whether to proceed with my event (the decision has to be made soon) was not helped when the New York Auto Show was cancelled yesterday less that two weeks before it was to begin.
Again, if posters will not stray from Bobby's question, this thread will be allowed to continue.
