COVID-19 Operational Procedures

The Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) strongly encourages Event Organizers to implement procedures to slow the spread, mitigate resurgence and prepare for the possibility of outbreaks of COVID-19. As an event organizer, Gondik Law Speedway has created a comprehensive set of Operational Procedures consistent with CDC Guidelines for dirt track motorsports events in order to help protect the local communities, participants, staff and spectators. Proper planning, preparation, communication, and follow-through will ensure a safe and successful Event.
