So what are the bookmakers saying, in particular with the new travel restriction to curb none-essential travel between the USA and Mexico. Will there be a #Baja500 as announced by the organizer or another cancellation as many other events having pushing it out.
Common sense says no way under given circumstances
The only successful international series running during pandemic are #Formula1 and #MotoGP and they run on limited travel, mainly within Europe with multi-events at same venue
Twitter does not seem to have interest to keep it's users. As the old saying goes: If yoo fly high you will fall deep!!
