So Cal. Fires

Hey guys, Just checking in on the 10/26 California speedway track day.Is it still going to happen? I live here in S.D.. Few friends have lost thier homes and it's looking bad out here. Can not take car out to drive do to all the ash in the air, don't want to suck up any of that in the intake. May not be able to make it on the 26th but I will do my best. Anyone out here in S.D take care and be carefull out here.
