NON-SPECTATOR EVENT COMING SOON
Speedway officials continue to work with local and state agencies on determining a safe return to racing for all constituents. Crafted with guidance from local and state officials, Eldora is developing a plan for a ‘non-spectator’ event to take place on the weekend of June 4th-5th-6th. The proposal, currently in review, consists of Dirt Late Model teams working in a controlled and closed setting for an invitational event streamed exclusively online at FloRacing.com
Access to the event will be restricted to working track and series officials, pre-approved racers and pit crews, the EMS/Fire and track safety team, and members of the broadcast production team.
All participants will be required to follow a defined safety protocol, including but not limited to pre-entry medical screenings, face coverings, and social distancing. The event is being planned in accordance with the latest CDC, OHSA, federal, state and local guidance.
Additional details surrounding this burgeoning event will be released upon approval of local and state authorities.
