Race Schedule: We will have Four Races for the day. Social distancing is not an issue for this venue, we will social distance but it will be easy to keep distance from other teams. The old race course is a half-mile oval and the infield is entirely grass, We will have designated areas for you to put your tents on the infield. A decision on whether to allow spectators and have awards or not is pending. Additionally, we will not have any problem at the start line as with only 10 teams there will be plenty of space to keep a proper distance between each team.

Gates to speedway will be open at 7:00 AM so you can come pre-run the course. We will be doing two loops so you will be able to pre-run it quite easily.
