[REPLYING TO DAN NELSON]

First - I'm not cancelling my POWRi event or anyone else's by way of this post. We've only been cancelling things after an order covers the period in question. Until then, anything can change. Our current Executive Order in Illinois runs through the 29th of May. Although the Governor has a "Restore Illinois" plan that goes all the way out until we have a cure/treatment/world peace, it technically isn't yet the law or an order or anything with substance, it's just a plan. Plans can and do change. Especially when they become increasingly unpopular, are losing support, events change, or someone is limping to find a finish line to declare some kind of victory.

With that said, the current "plan" as we are told to expect in June would prohibit any crowds or attendance in our grandstands through most of June and arguably until that world peace threshold. Our hope is that if the currently announced plan were to change we could start the Motorsports Industry's "Race To Recovery" (<<< I just came up with that and kind of like it ) with 20% capacity in June.

I have 4000 board feet in my grandstands. Bleachers get sold based on an 18 inch butt and my fire marshal was recently generous enough to figure my capacity that way. -roughly 2600 rear ends in my main grandstand. Mind you that I could never come close to selling 2600 18 inch seats without 800 people standing not able to find a row with enough skinny people to find a seat. So I limit my ticket sales for "Sold Out" events at about 1,600 with an extra 50-100 in my pocket for angry people I told I'd hold a ticket for but forgot or 2nd/3rd cousins that tend to show up and introduce themselves at those events.

2600 x .20 = 520 tickets we could rightfully sell in our little place - and you have to figure ours is probably the smallest grandstand in Illinois that can hold this type of event. With a better than average pit and a $20 ticket I would still be short a fair amount - especially if selling food/beer was impacted. But personally I'd do it based on those numbers. I'd debate myself all week on whether to do a $25 ticket to give it a better chance, but pretty confident I'd end up at $20. At those numbers it can be done if you view it as an investment in getting your doors back open. But I wouldn't blame others if they didn't.

Other venues during that week have quite a few more mathematical seats than we do and probably would green light the show even at 20%. If they did, I'd follow suit.

Now... don't ask me as I sit here whether I think our timeline in Illinois is realistically going to make any of the above possible... but if we are talking only about what could happen as a hypothetical, all of the above could... and in my opinion should.
