I just returned home from Detroit and I live in a west St Louis suburb. Had to do some work with the Detroit Lions at their practice facility for a couple days. They are preparing to let the players back in to practice. On a plus note I did get my signed Matthew Stafford game ball that he left for me. From the amount of traffic I encountered each way there is way more people out now not really caring about their health. The different rules in each state was interesting. Illinois and Michigan strict lock down. Ohio kind of middle. Missouri and Indiana seems to be we have had enough.

I took a box of latex gloves, hand sanitizer, and masks. Seemed to me with me carrying these strange things I couldn't decide if people would think I'm in the medical field or looking for a prostitute. Interesting in Michigan I was required to wear a mask entering any building. I asked the hotel clerk why am I required to wear a mask but you are greeting me without one? He mumbled something in a language I haven't learned yet, looked disgusted, and said room 312 as he handed me the key card. I couldn't resist and asked him if he had washed his hands lately since he didn't have gloves on. Heard same language I haven't learned yet in a louder voice.

I know this doesn't apply to racing but just wanted to share I saw and talked to many people in different states that are tired of sitting home. I know it's not totally safe yet but the NFL teams are some of my better clients and they are getting ready to open I have to take care of them it's part of my job.

Hope to see 50% of you at Haubstadt June 14th or 399 (only selling 400 tickets) of you at USAC Midgets in Tulsa Memorial Day. Skipping WoO at Pevely near home for Tulsa.
