Placerville Speedway pit area guidelines released for Saturday
Pit area guidelines for June 13th event at Placerville Speedway have been announced
Placerville, CA – June 9, 2020…As a heads up for race teams that will be competing at Placerville Speedway this Saturday, the following is a list of guidelines that competitors are required to follow. Much of it is the same that was in place at the recent Test and Tune, with just a few slight modifications.
Participants will be required to sign the standard waiver/release as well as download/print and fill out the COVID19 waiver/release. Do NOT exit your vehicle to walk up to the Pit Booth, until you reach the gate. This form needs to be downloaded, filled out, signed & dated and presented at the Temperature Screening Station by each person attending our event(s) during the pandemic. By doing it this way, we hope to help expedite the process of getting through the pit gate protocol. The form is available at www.placervillespeedway.com/forms
Pit passes will be $40 for registered members and $45 for non-members. The pit gate will open at noon, while the grandstands and concessions will be closed. The food shack will be open in the pit area however and will be serving food.
In an effort to promote social distancing we will be using the MyRacePass app, where teams can find the order of events, lineups and results. Please visit www.myracepass.com to claim or create your driver profile, which will also help with scoring and administration procedures.
MyRacePass has put together a tutorial on You Tube for drivers to learn how to claim your profile. Please look at all the things you can do to help build your fan base, sell merchandise and check in at any track utilizing MyRacePass. Your stats will also be updated each time you compete.
