View from the Valley – November 2020

Looking at the CVR 2020 calendar, it mirrors the progression of the Covid-19 pandemic’s impact. From January through March activities occurred as planned. We hunkered down in April and May with all activities cancelled. In June we started to put on activities in accordance with the Covid-19 guidelines and with mitigations in place.

Thirty-one CVR activities were held in 2020 between Autocross, Coffee Runs (Tour), Concours, Driver Education, Monthly Meetings and Rally. I am sure I can speak for our members in thanking the activity chairs and volunteers for making this possible by providing their time and talents. Based on the conversations I have had with our members, these events were greatly appreciated.

I want to thank our sponsors for their ongoing support in this difficult year and in prior years. CVR’s ability to put on activities is directly related to our sponsor’s support. Please consider the services our sponsors provide as we either prepare our vehicles for winter hibernation or for driving through the winter. The challenges that CVR faced this year pale in comparison to what our sponsors experienced.
