AUSTIN, TX (05.02.2020) – Check out this video message and transcript Wayne Harris and the team at dB Drag Racing:
Hello Competitors! And thanks for tuning in.
I hope everyone is doing well.
Today, I am going to give you a brief update on the status of the 2020 dB Drag Racing competition season.
As you know, public gatherings have been prohibited because of the Coronavirus pandemic. These restrictions, while necessary, have essentially shut down the car stereo competition scene.
The good news is that we are starting to see the potential for the easing of these restrictions in certain geographic areas. Soon, it may be possible to re-launch dBDRA events in these areas provided adequate precautions are taken.
Beginning today, the dBDRA will allow our representatives to start scheduling shows again on a voluntary basis, provided these events meet the following criteria…
- First and foremost, the safety of our competitors, judges, spectators, and the community at large are of paramount importance.
- All events must adhere to local, state, and federal requirements for public gatherings.
- All attendees, including competitors, spectators, and judges are required to wear a mask throughout the event. This is true even if governmental requirements do not mandate the use of a mask.
- All contestants must provide their own hearing protection and competition CD.
- Finally, all attendees must maintain social distancing throughout the event.
Remember this, the virus threat is still lurking out there. We need to do our part to stop this virus from spreading further.
Now, I want to briefly discuss the dBDRA Finals…
We continue to receive a lot of calls and messages related to the Finals this year. Everyone wants to know when and where these events will take place.
Unfortunately, I cannot give you a definitive answer at this time because our ability to conduct a Finals event is dependent on safety, ethics, governmental restrictions, economics, and facility availability.
In fact, we are in a situation similar to that of professional and college sports.
At this time, no one really knows what is going to happen. There is a possibility that we may be able to host Finals events as we always have. But, there is also a slight possibility that events such as these will not be permitted or even possible. For now, we are hoping for the best and so should you.
So, what does this mean for the Points Requirements for Finals?
Obviously, changes will be necessary. This is one of the reasons the points requirements have not been posted on the website yet. As restrictions are lifted and events start taking place again, we will have a better idea as to how these changes need to happen.
That’s all I have for now.
Thanks again for tuning in.
Until next time…
Keep it Loud!
Make me Proud!
