My opinion outdoor races are low risk. As I have heard of very little of folks catching it from the track or pits. Pits are the first place i thought you would see an outbreak with the same teams around each other night after night sometimes. Maybe you just don't sit in the prime seats this year. You can usually find somewhere to sit or stand away from others.

If I survive the Chilibowl I will try to get my race count back up next summer.
I've been wondering about that.... maybe since its outside & people are all facing the same direction, rather than facing each other, makes it safer?
Or maybe the cases are not being reported?
