February at Lost Hills
This is an update on the February contests at Lost Hills.
The CIAM as announced that World Cup events do not begin until March at the earliest so these will not be World Cup contests.
Last October the Sierra and Kotuku Cups plus the San Valeers Annual (a Large AMA event) were run at Lost Hills, applying the Covid protocol with good local attendance and some visitors from other Western States. Based on this experience this is the plan for the February events.
It is possible that there might be State of California regulations in place at the time that could cause the cancelation or postponement of the event. You can find the California State information at https://covid19.ca.gov/. For those not familiar with California geography Lost Hills is in Kern County.

The FAI events will be America’s Cup events and the AMA events National Cups.
