Trackstar Racing Update - 1st November 2020
Trackstar Racing update – 1st November 2020
Following the Government announcement last night, we would like to confirm that racing is suspended in the National Lockdown and therefore all meetings in November are cancelled.
Since we returned trackside, we have been astounded by the support shown to us by all. We run 8 Sundays of hugely popular practise days in early Summer and then returned to racing 1st August. Since then, Trackstar have staged 10 meetings and 1 other in conjunction with Startrax. All bar one meeting has sold out of limited capacity spectator tickets and the remaining meeting was equally, very well supported, most Banger meetings have also been over subscribed with extensive reserve lists of drivers. We are honestly so humbled by the support shown and very, very, grateful to everyone who has supported us since the return, and, helped us remain in operation by adhering to the Covid19 Measures and Guidance at the Stadium. To our incredible staff too, who have equally been supportive and loyal, we thank them for their hard work and dedication to help get the show back on the road.
Operating in these times has been very challenging; but with thanks to our local EHO’s, Licencing teams, Local Constabulary and the many other authorities involved in helping us reopen – we thank them for their co-operation, guidance and support.
Tickets that were sold for the 7th and 8th November meetings will automatically be refunded – Customers do not need to do anything. There are almost 700 individual orders that need to be gone through; this is a manual process which will take time to work through; please bear with us and Customers will have any ticket purchases refunded to them as soon as we can work through them. Please be aware, depending on your Bank, refunds may take a couple of days to clear.
The announcement made suggests a 4 week lockdown, which as mentioned means there will be no racing at King’s Lynn in November. We will leave the 13th and 28th December fixtures as provisionally pencilled in, however we will need to seek guidance, clarity and confirmation closer to the time.
Sincerely, thank you again to everyone for the support shown to us. Until we meet again race fans, stay safe, take care, look after each other and be there for someone who might not be doing so well at the thought of another lockdown.
Graham, Paul and the Trackstar team.
