Please read the following information regarding precautions being taken this weekend at 4-17 Southern Speedway. Not only do we want to continue to protect all of our loyal fans, drivers, and crew members- but it is important to adhere to the reduced capacity order of the "Phase 1" re-opening policy.
First and foremost - if you are experiencing a fever over 100 deg F, have been exposed to someone with the COVID-19 virus, or have traveled outside of the US in the last 14 days- PLEASE stay home and join us in 2 weeks.
The following precautions will be taken until further notice, this is a long detailed list. However, everybody's safety is our concern. Let's prove to Governor Desantis that we can do this:
Grandstand Procedures:
- Grandstand entrants will be limited to the 1st 1000 spectators only. This number is in accordance with the 25% rule, and will allow for the variance of 4-17 crew, and individuals traveling to and from the pits. Masks are encouraged - but are not required
- All entrants will have their temperatures taken prior to entering the venue. If your temperature is over 100 deg, you will be turned away.
- Hill seating will be available, but will require all attendees to remain in groups of 10 or less, and remain 6' away from other groups. Please keep your group contained to a specific area.
- Bleacher seating: alternating rows of bleachers will be marked and will not allow any seating. Again - please keep to 10 or less in your group.
- Beer Shack & Concessions: Please be mindful of our staff & others in the concession and beer lines. Lines will be monitored. If too many individuals are congregating - they will be asked to relocate. Concession offerings will be scaled back to allow for faster service to all. A wide variety of items will be offered.
- Souvenir Shop: no more than 3 individuals will be allowed in the souvenir shop at one time.
- 50/50 tickets: A table will be set up close to the entrance for 50/50 ticket sales. In an effort to minimize contact for our crew members safety - Tickets will NOT be sold in the stands. Please look for the 50/50 table when entering the venue.
- Please dispose of your trash in trash receptacles in an effort to reduce our staff's expose to having to clean up the property.
- Please be sure to speak to your children prior to arrival regarding the importance of maintaining a safe distance from others. We do want them to continue to enjoy their experience at the facility - but safety is key.
Pit Procedures:
- Pit entrants will be limited to the 1st 400 individuals - this does include drivers, crew members, and fans.
