Airborne Speedway Still Waiting For Green Light To Start 2020 With Spectators

Story By: AIRBORNE SPEEDWAY – PLATTSBURGH, NY – Many of you have probably seen that some tracks have announced that they will be hosting fans this weekend. Airborne Speedway has been in contact with state and local officials and they are not allowing us to have spectators at this point.

Although there is an order dated 6/26/2020 against Andrew Cuomo and the state of New York that states:

“WHEREFORE, for the foregoing reasons, it is hereby ORDERED that plaintiffs’ (application for a preliminary injunction (Dkts. No. 2, 7) is GRANTED; and it is further ORDERED that defendants are ENJOINED and RESTRAINED as follows: (1) from enforcing any indoor gathering limitations against plaintiffs 37 Case 1:20-cv-00651-GLS-DJS Document 35 Filed 06/26/20 Page 37 of 38 greater than imposed for Phase 2 industries, provided that plaintiffs follow social distancing requirements as set forth in the applicable executive orders and guidance; and (2) from enforcing any limitation for outdoor gatherings provided that participants in such gatherings follow social distancing requirements as set forth in the applicable executive orders and guidance”

The interpretation by legal council is that this is specifically related to religious gatherings and does not include any other forms of large gatherings.

We appreciate your patience while we work through this difficult time.

Many other tracks are in the same position as us at this time. We hope to be able to provide exciting short track DIRTcar racing action as soon as possible.
