I was really hoping we'd be back to normal for this year's event, but sadly that's not the reality. Instead, we've just updated the COVID-19 restrictions for this year's $2000 Challenge.
Click the link for details, but TL;DR: Restrictions will be less annoying than last year, but should still make for a very safe event for all involved.
$2000 Challenge COVID-19 Policies
If you've already registered for the event, you'll see a refund for any banquet tickets you've purchased within a week or so.

Still nailing that down (haven't been in touch with the track yet, and they'll definitely have an opinion) but should be somewhere in the $10ish range. Need to cover the cost of staffing the gate for the duration of the event.

Oh, and if anybody has any specific questions or concerns, feel free to post them here and we'll do our best to answer.
Because of these policies, will there be pro drivers this year?

It's our intention to have pro drivers this year, but most of them are at Solo Nationals right now. We won't have a final roster until we get a bit closer to the event.

Are spectators allowed for the concourse on Saturday? I'm going to be in Orlando that weekend and pondering making the trek up.

Yes, spectators will be allowed at the concours.
Are you going to have super sweet custom $2000 Challenge masks for us?
I'm sure its not time for the return of the General Tire Challenge yet, but I miss that part of the weekend :)
