PIERRE, S.D. (KELO) — In response to plans for a dirt-track event on Saturday, Governor Kristi Noem recommends people not attend.

Noem reminded South Dakotans of the state guidance to not gather in groups of more than 10 people. Organizers of the event in Jefferson, South Dakota, have said they would limit ticket sales but it is still expected to draw hundreds of people.

Noem says we are still many weeks away from peak hospitalization and infection rates. She says it is incredibly important people continue to social distance so we don’t overwhelm the health care system with COVID-19 cases.

People can think for themselves. If they think a situation is risky - that they may catch something-then they can stay home.

I pray this doesn’t backfire on SD. They the national example of we why don’t need the Govt. boot on our throat. She told people to be careful and they have been much to the displeasure of MSM. I wouldn’t put it past the rats to send infected people to this race.

Is this cars or motorcycles? I never liked dirt track with cars, but bikes were fun.

My advice would be for her to request that I chaperone her at the event, and for the next few years, if it works out.

I got nothing better to do.

I wonder if that’s the old Park Jefferson horse track.

Exactly how it should be.

A large group in close quarts, probably NOT GOOD.

Yes.

I think some of the structures are from the horse days.

close quarts = close quarters

Helps to read before posting?

If you ever try it, your opinion will change immediately. It's impossible to have that much fun on a paved circuit.

Great training too if you do a lot of driving/racing.

She is just offering advice, until her advice is ignored.
Then it will be an order and enforced by State Troopers.

Despite the rending of garments and foaming at the mouth by the media, I expect there will be no effect on virus numbers from this event.

I worked at Sodrac, the dog track in North Sioux. A lot of the people I worked with also worked at PJ off and on.
