No Spectators At The Maple Grove Divisional
 

For anyone that is interested, I just got off the phone with Maple Grove and I was informed that spectators will not be allowed for the Divisional Sept. 25-27. That means that I am going to Virginia Motorsports Park for the double divisional Oct. 1-4.

PA Governor no more than 250 people in a place.

James, I simply stated what I was told when I called the Maple Grove office. At the present time, the race is still on with no spectators.

Not totally true as we had NASCAR events at Pocono recently ……...I've been told the race at the Grove will happen .

Why this limit of 250? 1 acre of land = 43560 sqft. If every person has to keep a 6 foot radius then that is 113 sqft per person. 43560/113=385. At a minimum there should be 385 people per acre allowed at any event. Maple Grove Raceway is advertised as 450 acres so that is room for 173,250 people even with proper social distancing!

Bobby the Gov needs to brush up on his math maybe you could help him .

Re: No Spectators At The Maple Grove Divisional
 

How many spectators are going to want to watch from some of the back acres there? The calculations are made for the spectator area.

BTW .. It is not a hard limit of 250. We got approval for a car show in Bucks County, Pa. to have more than that after we submitted a plan for how we would control spectator numbers, access, circulation and how they were spread over the entire show area. We worked with the county and got the OK. Unfortunately, we had to cancel the show because of liability issues if someone sued over COVID-19, but we did get approval to have the show.

Probably the same reason Maple Grove nationals got canceled and the possible the points race

Bobby do you want to be the guy pitted over by the bar? And as soon a you drive to the lanes social distancing goes out the window. But I agree with your concept 250 is dumb.
