Flying Solo on the Plains HPDE
SOLOED DRIVERS ONLY
Saturday July 25 & Sunday July 26, 2020
We are excited to be back to the track for our first HPDE of the 2020 season. Due to the coronavirus pandemic this first HPDE will be for qualified solo drivers only. Also, due to the pandemic we have a few other important changes.
COVID-19, the novel corona virus, has become the forefront of immediate health concerns. The RMR Board has been following and discussing these issues frequently. We understand that members have concerns. In all things we do, we consider first and foremost the health and safety of our members, volunteers, and sponsors. As we begin to host events again, we ask that everyone follow the guidelines below to help keep themselves and fellow members safe.
- Social distancing is key when gathering for the event. Please maintain a distance of 6 feet from friends and staff whenever possible.
- Face coverings are most essential in times when social distancing is difficult. Face coverings are meant to protect those around you in case you are unknowingly infected. We are requiring that masks be worn at all times unless eating, drinking, or driving. Please bring your own face mask and have it on when you arrive at the gate.
- Avoid handshakes, fist bumps, and other forms of physical contact. When appropriate, use hand sanitizer or wash your hands and avoid touching your face. For your health please bring some hand sanitizer and use it frequently.
Following these guidelines will help to lower the risk of exposure and spread of COVID-19, and will facilitate our ability to host more events in the future.
There will be a Zoom meeting with participants Tuesday night, July 21 with an emphasis on safety, COVID-19 protocols, what to expect, etc. Please, put this in your calendar and plan to attend. There will be important information for the event at that time. You will receive an email invitation at a later date for this very important meeting.
We are excited to support our charity for this event – The Challenge Foundation. The Challenge Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that helps smart, ambitious, and hard-working students break the cycle of poverty through education opportunities. We are proud long-term mentor supporters and we know you will enjoy learning more and supporting this well-run and important charity.
