Subject: Help! Our grassroots drag strips, dirt tracks, and mud bogs are closing!
Email: The small grassroots drag strips, dirt tracks, and mud bogs that we know and love, are dying out one by one. Law enforcement has labeled our tracks as "speedways" or a "sporting event." We are NOT!

Speedways such as Bristol Motor Speedway, Charlotte Speedway, and Darlington Speedway have major deals with NASCAR, NBC, and Fox to make money. They also sit over 150 thousand spectators close to one another and can make do without spectators. Sports organizations like the MLB, NFL, and the NBA have major TV deals and large teams with constant human contact and large spectator counts.

We have been racing since May 22, 2020, when the government lifted restrictions on outdoor events. The restriction was lifted on zoos, museums, aquariums, water parks, amusement parks, go-kart tracks, and bingo facilities, to name a few. Since then, every grassroots track has been open in South Carolina, but now SLED is closing them all down. As a whole, the racers, track owners, and spectators represent a large number of voters, and we are unhappy with this turn of events. We know that we can race safely by wearing masks, implementing social distancing, and properly disinfecting all shared surfaces, like all other businesses that have been allowed to open. We are asking for your help because if no one intervenes, our beloved homegrown racing will no longer exist! Grassroots racing is the fabric of America and, in the southern part of the United States, incredibly important. We need a clear-cut directive that allows us to open our facilities with limited spectators.

Thank you for your time. We look forward to your response.

Little Maintenance before class tomorrow, hopefully we will have a live feed if not video. 🤞
