81 Speedway
More Seating Available for Upcoming Races
After the governor’s decision yesterday to leave Covid-19 restrictions up to the counties and communicating with county commissioners today, we WILL be able to open up more seating for the May 30, June 4, & June 7 races.
81 Speedway has assured county officials we will abide by all policies and recommendations. PLEASE READ THESE CAREFULLY. We need all the help we can get to continue dirt track racing in Kansas during this pandemic.
We MUST adhere to social distancing procedures as recommended by the CDC and Sedgwick County:
• Stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arms’ length) from other people
• Do not gather in groups
• Stay out of crowded places and avoid mass gatherings
If you are sick or showing any virus symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath, chills, muscle pain, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell) please stay home.
The CDC also recommends that those who are higher risk take extra precautions and consider staying at home. These include:
• People 65 years and older
• People who live in a nursing home or long-term care facility
People of all ages with underlying medical conditions, particularly if not well controlled, including:
• People with chronic lung disease or moderate to severe asthma
• People who have serious heart conditions
• People who are immunocompromised
o Many conditions can cause a person to be immunocompromised, including cancer treatment, smoking, bone marrow or organ transplantation, immune deficiencies, poorly controlled HIV or AIDS, and prolonged use of corticosteroids and other immune weakening medications
• People with severe obesity (body mass index [BMI] of 40 or higher)
• People with diabetes
• People with chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis
• People with liver disease
We strongly recommend the use of face masks.
We will have limited hand sanitizer. Please bring your own to reapply. We will be sanitizing all contact surfaces often.
Pits/Drivers:
• MUST complete track registration online prior to race day. https://www.myracepass.com/tracks/2893/registrations/
• Please claim your driver profile as well. This will help expedite check-in.
• Drivers must fill out a W9. Please print it from the following link, complete it, sign it, and turn it in at practice or your first race: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf. Drivers will not be paid (cash) prize money without it on file.
• We need everyone’s transponder number. Please message us before race day if possible or have it ready at check-in.
USRA Drivers: Make sure you purchase your license ahead of time as tracks are no longer allowed to issue annual license. Go to www.USRAracing.com to get them.
If you have purchased a pit pass online, you will still need to check in to sign the waiver and get a wristband. Remember: anyone under age 18 must have a parent/guardian signed release.
To limit contact, draw/redraw for all classes will be done through auto-draw on MyRacePass. Auto-draw cannot be manipulated by the speedway. If you have questions on that, please contact MyRacePass.
Grandstand Admission:
Limited seating. Tickets will be sold online and at the gate. Tickets purchased online are guaranteed. We will stop selling tickets at the gate once they are sold out. Due to the limited seating, general admission for weekly shows will be $12 for all ages. Special shows will be priced accordingly. Present your printed tickets or receipt on phone at the gate on race day.
Maximum 20 persons per group. Please use open spaces when you leave and return to your seat to maintain personal space as much as possible.
No VIPs will be accepted. VIP passes will be addressed after restrictions are lifted.
Concessions will be available in the grandstands. We will follow all guidelines set forth by the Kansas Department of Agriculture. Floor decals will be placed for social distancing. We encourage the use of credit/debit cards to minimize cash handling between individuals.
As a sanitary precaution, no chair backs will be rented out.
