ROAD AMERICA ACTIVE MEASURES AGAINST CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

As you may know, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is responding to an outbreak of respiratory disease caused by a coronavirus. The virus has been detected in numerous locations internationally, including in the United States. Road America is taking active measures to protect our guests from this harmful virus.

The number one priority for the team at Road America is the health and safety of our guests. We have no reason to believe coronavirus is present at the facility. We are working closely with public health officials to follow all recommendations and best practices regarding the virus.

At this time, we are encouraging staff to work from home in response to the coronavirus pandemic and local government directives. Certain staff who are essential to our facility operations are working adjusted hours on-site while following CDC and WHO guidelines. 

Regarding our schedule: For now, we have postponed our Spring Vintage Festival Featuring SVRA – May 15-17 due to COVID-19 and we are hosting the MotoAmerica Superbike Series event (without fans) on May 29-31. An additional MotoAmerica Superbike Weekend has been added to the schedule on June 26-28 which includes all professional classes and the Vintage MotoFest activities. Fans who have tickets and previously purchased items (camping, golf carts, etc.) for the MotoAmerica weekend in May can use their tickets and items in June. Aside from the recent changes, all other regular-season events remain as scheduled. 

Our ticketing office is open for processing sales and season passes on-site while following CDC and WHO guidelines and contactless payment options are available. Additionally, customers may still make event purchases online and print their tickets at home. Printed tickets will be mailed as purchases are processed.

Our Paddock Shop is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, and during event weekends, while offering contactless payment to customers. The Paddock Shop also offers online merchandise purchases and curbside pick up during regular hours. The Paddock Shop is currently following safe business practices where appropriate. 

Road America is also offering partners and sanctioning bodies the option to develop plans and procedures specific to their individual events to operate safely according to CDC and WHO guidelines. We are also actively taking numerous steps, including:

Increased cleaning – Our janitorial team adheres to the recommendations set forth in the U.S. EPA’s Emerging Pathogen Policy regarding cleaning disinfectants.

We are sanitizing high-touch areas at least daily, such as:

• Restrooms
• Handrails
• All entrance revolving door handles, the main door handles, and push bars
• Public furniture
• All rooms prior to and immediately following use
• Offices and all kitchen areas

Increased hand sanitizer stations. We now have more hand sanitizer stations throughout the facility. These stations are mobile, allowing us to deploy them based on event schedules and traffic.

Protective sneeze guards. We are placing protective sneeze guards supplied by our partner CTECH Manufacturing, at concessions areas, the Paddock Shop, all gates, and the ticket office. 

Staff training and safety – All Road America Security, Fire Safety, EMT, and paramedic personnel have guidelines from local and national public health departments on how to recognize possible symptoms of Coronavirus as well as steps in containment. We are also encouraging our employees to conduct wellness and temperature checks daily before entering the facility.
