Default Corona Beer Virus and P-Cars

Just checking in to see how everyone is coping and curious how this is impacting your hobby.

I think prices may soften a bit this season due to the economic impact of the virus.

According to the CDC, I’m in the dead pool, so I am doing my part to devalue the collection. Drove the GT3 to work yesterday and again today

With fewer players literally and economically, I may also reach for the next one

See you at the track

Virus alert hit my neighborhood last night. Someone infected at the church in DC was at a church around the corner from my house every day for about 10 days in late February/ early March. Also a couple people associated with the public school system went on self-quarantine yesterday. Thankfully I do not interact with churches since they cast me our a couple thousand years ago.

Been pumping some $$ into my SEP IRA and brokerage accounts. I'm sure there is a lower bottom, but I'm happy buying in when there is a sale even if not a liquidation.

Yup - Fully funding the 401k at an accelerated rate. Should max out the year shortly. I figure a few more confirmed cases in the DC area and NASA/NOAA will be closed down and tele-working as we have already been holding readiness drills.

What the PCA policy on holding track events?
