STATEMENT FROM IKC

It is with deep regret that IKC will have to shut the track as of midnight tonight. Due to the current rules implemented by our government we have to close our facility for the foreseeable future. We will remain open tonight till 9pm but that will be it.

This has been one if the hardest decisions I’ve personally had to deal with especially with all the hard work put in over the past 3 years to get us in the best shape we’ve been in. But we also understand everyone’s health is more important.

IKC will do everything in its power to open the track as soon as humanly possible. We would like to ask our members to keep an eye out on Facebook as we will be looking to save money and using club members for maintenance, mowing, painting, general repairs etc. If we can all ban together and use this closure to make our club facilities up to scratch then we are ready to go full stream ahead when allowed.

Also if you can all look at the new KA officials training program which you can do online in about 30 mins so we can boost our officials and not burn out all our current ones.

Please stay safe in this trying period and remember as soon as we can we will open and having as many race meetings as we can.

Very informative post below. Would love to know where it came from. If anyone knows please credit it...

“Feeling confused as to why Coronavirus is a bigger deal than Seasonal flu? Here it is in a nutshell. I hope this helps.

It has to do with RNA sequencing.... I.e. genetics.

Seasonal flu is an “all human virus”. The DNA/RNA chains that make up the virus are recognized by the human immune system. This means that your body has some immunity to it before it comes around each year... you get immunity two ways...through exposure to a virus, or by getting a flu shot.

Novel viruses, come from animals.... the WHO tracks novel viruses in animals, (sometimes for years watching for mutations). Usually these viruses only transfer from animal to animal (pigs in the case of H1N1) (birds in the case of the Spanish flu). But once, one of these animal viruses mutates, and starts to transfer from animals to humans... then it’s a problem, Why? Because we have no natural or acquired immunity.. the RNA sequencing of the genes inside the virus isn’t human, and the human immune system doesn’t recognize it so, we can’t fight it off.

Now.... sometimes, the mutation only allows transfer from animal to human, for years it’s only transmission is from an infected animal to a human before it finally mutates so that it can now transfer human to human... once that happens..we have a new contagion phase. And depending on the fashion of this new mutation, thats what decides how contagious, or how deadly it’s gonna be..

H1N1 was deadly....but it did not mutate in a way that was as deadly as the Spanish flu. It’s RNA was slower to mutate and it attacked its host differently, too.

Fast forward.

Now, here comes this Coronavirus... it existed in animals only, for nobody knows how long...but one day, at an animal market, in Wuhan China, in December 2019, it mutated and made the jump from animal to people. At first, only animals could give it to a person... But here is the scary part.... in just TWO WEEKS it mutated again and gained the ability to jump from human to human. Scientists call this quick ability, “slippery”

This Coronavirus, not being in any form a “human” virus (whereas we would all have some natural or acquired immunity). Took off like a rocket. And this was because, Humans have no known immunity...doctors have no known medicines for it.

And it just so happens that this particular mutated animal virus, changed itself in such a way the way that it causes great damage to human lungs..

That’s why Coronavirus is different from seasonal flu, or H1N1 or any other type of influenza.... this one is slippery! And it’s a lung eater...And, it’s already mutated AGAIN, so that we now have two strains to deal with, strain s, and strain L....which makes it twice as hard to develop a vaccine.

We really have no tools in our shed, with this. History has shown that fast and immediate closings of public places has helped in the past pandemics. Philadelphia and Baltimore were reluctant to close events in 1918 and they were the hardest hit in the US during the Spanish Flu.

Factoid: Henry VIII stayed in his room and allowed no one near him, till the Black Plague passed...(honestly...I understand him so much better now). Just like us, he had no tools in his shed, except social isolation...

And let me end by saying....right now it’s hitting older folks harder... but this genome is so slippery...if it mutates again (and it will). Who is to say, what it will do next.

Be smart folks... acting like you’re unafraid is so not sexy right now.

#flattenthecurve. Stay home folks... and share this to those that just are not catching on. 🤓

**NEW STATEMENT FROM IKC**

Unfortunately due to the ongoing corona virus situation IKC has been forced to postpone our next club day on the 4th April. Due to the sheer size of our club days it runs to much of a risk to continue but hopefully we can get back to racing in May. We are not canceling everything till June we are simply going to watch each day and as soon as possible we will be racing.

We will continue to have track open for practice but have capped numbers to 75 drivers at one time with one pit crew per day. It is up to you as the member to ring Maree Griffin on 0491 202 982 and check with her how numbers are looking if heading out a bit later in the day. There shouldn’t be an issue but we have no idea how everyone is going to handle the next few months so we have to set some perimeters.

This isn’t how IKC was planning our club day racing this year and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience. We have been working non stop behind the scenes in the past week but to no avail. We will keep you all posted every few days on any changes as they come to hand. Also thanks to KA for there consistent communication throughout these past few days in helping in every way they can.

Regards

Scott Howard
