SUGAR CITY BURNOUTS Test & Turn – 1st August 2020

We are very pleased to be able to return running events at Palmyra Dragway under an approved Outdoor Sports COVID Safe Plan.

We are allowed to run these events with some significant changes to the procedures to protect our participants, crew & most importantly our volunteer officials while still complying with the government health regulations.

Pit Areas will be allocated to entrants, as this is our first event back we are limiting total number of persons on site to 500. Pit crew passes can be purchased online.

Kids 15 & under are free, details of children will need to be included in your online entry to comply with tracing and maximum numbers allowed on site. Children’s details will need to be include on your entry form. 

These are difficult and unusual times for us all and the return to some on the track activities comes with extra responsibilities to both you the entrants and your crew as well as the committee of Palmyra Drag Racing Club, therefor your ability to ensure compliance with all the social distancing procedures, Hand Washing and exclusions if unwell is on all of us, there will be officials visiting to ensure we are all doing the right thing and there will be no grey area when ensuring the rules and regulations are carried to the letter. If you are found blatantly ignoring social distancing rules or our hygiene measure that are put in place you will be told to leave the facility immediately. Security will be onsite to help the volunteers manage the guidelines set out by Qld Government and Health Officials.

The only alternative to the conditions outlined below would be to keep our facility closed, which is something non of us want to happen!

We would appreciate your co-operation and understanding at this time, we do also encourage you all to download the COVIDSafe app

General Public Spectators will only be allowed if numbers after close of entrys allow.
