To SKUSA racers, supporters and staff, we are all very excited to be able to host and participate in the 2020 SuperkartsUSA ProTour Event in New Castle, Indiana. First and foremost, we would like to thank you for attending our event during these unprecedented times. As of July 27th, Indiana Governor, Eric Holcomb, announced a face covering mandate for the state of Indiana. Our number one priority during these challenging times is to ensure the safety of our participants, staff, customers, and teams. To keep everyone safe during our event, face coverings or masks will be mandated when out of your personal pit space. These mandates are to comply with the Indiana state mandate, CDC, OSHA, and federal recommendations.
We will not be monitoring masks within your own personal tents. However, they are strongly recommended. We will have SKUSA officials around the premises to implement this protocol and keep our racing community safe during our event. We appreciate everyone's understanding and support during this time and are so happy to be able to hold this event and continue with our racing season.
Overall, SKUSA will be:
-
Requiring that face coverings or masks be worn in the following areas: when leaving your pit space, registration, tech, scales, grid, and where social distancing is more difficult.
-
Providing a virtual drivers meeting to reduce a large public gathering (link will be sent via SKUSA App and social media)
-
Implementing social distancing (of 6 ft or more) in common areas (with signs and ground stickers posted as friendly reminders)

Roping off individual sections of the grandstand to ensure social distancing
