This isn't a "tech" question but I'm trying to get a consensus from the Mopar Community.

I've been trying to get information related to the Mopar Nationals, Columbus OH in August and how the show may differ amid the Covid-19 virus and Social Distancing Guidelines. Has anyone heard if Ohio is fully open after the Covid-19 close-down? I have reviewed the Mopar Nationals web-site and it appears the latest update was February 19, 2020. I've sent emails to the Mopar Nationals recently asking these questions but have not received a response.

Has anyone heard, is it happening as usual? Has the Covid-19 changed anyone's mind about attending such a crowded event (not just at the show but the hotels, restaurants, etc.? Thank you for the feedback.

I just made hotel reservations just in case. I can cancel up to the day before. Most of the hotels I looked at were all booked up for that weekend so it seems like people are still planning to go.

Look at the Ohio Health Department website for business operation requirements for social distancing. Any event activities will be requires to follow these rules.

Can we get the Mexican cartels to help us with our supply chain issues? They don't seem to have any trouble getting stuff from one place to another.

My understanding is the Nats staff was / is waiting till a decision was / is made in regards as to whether Carlisle happens or not.

Jim Belinda has been posting on FB that at least for now it's still on.

I emailed him a couple days ago asking how it was looking, no response so far.

He is a member on here, but rarely posts.

We're planning on being there, we'll see what happens.

This will be my 36th year attending the Mopar Nats. drive


Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

With the Ohio State Fair being cancelled, I'd be leery of high expectations. County fairs are cancelling as well.

The Ohio State Fair is the same week as The Nats, Don't see how local /state officials would allow a large event in that sewer called National Trail.

The fair I thought was end of July or thereabouts. Did they reschedule? I had heard not too recent it'd been cancelled

Are you picking up a Hemi during the trip. The nasty heat and humidity will remind you of why you moved to Arizona :-)

Would surprise me if they didn't put the ax to it. Monster Mopar in Norwalk Ohio, initially scheduled for 2 weeks earlier, cancelled quite some time ago and it's a smaller event. Based on that, my thought it's just a matter of time for the Nationals. Too many people forming one in place with no control.

Monster Mopar cancelled because the track will not open all year. National Trail is open.

Oh. Didn't know that. Track shut down due to Covid or something else?

Business decision.
Owner decided since he already lost 83 % of his revenue, it was better to cancel the whole season than be in limp mode.
