Folks,

Due to Stay At Home mandate, both Stockton and Dixon has announced track closures. I have not heard anything about Infineon. But, I imagine it will be closed too. Once the mandate has been lifted, I will update accordingly.

Be Safe and be Healthy, everyone!

 

[Manimal]

No update.

However, being that Newsom has relaxed and is allowing some outdoor activities with restrictions (basic protocol), some of us are emailing the county to voice and request the track to be opened up again.

For those that attend track days, know that typically, we are pitted more than 6' apart, and are pretty much isolated in full gear when occupying the track. We can agree that we all have no problem following the Public protocol protection (more than 6' apart, wearing face masks, and hand sanitizers), while in the pit area.

Any regard, here's some info if you wish to extend your voice and aiding us getting our local tracks open again:

info@sanjoaquinfairgrounds.com (Fairgrounds)

tpatti@sjgov.org (Tom Patti, Board of Supervisors)

phs-info@sjcphs.org (San Joaquin County Public Health Office - Dr. Maggie Park)

Feel free to copy what I’ve sent or send your own message.

Subject: Please allow the Little 99 Kart and Mini Moto Track to reopen.

Hello,

I am part of an invested and active group that uses the Little 99 Kart and Mini Moto Track. Now that the Governor has allowed golf courses and other outdoor recreational areas to be open for use, please allow our group to use the Little 99 track.

Even in non-Covid19 times, kids and adults normally use the track wearing helmets, suits, gloves as protective gear, and set up their spaces away from each other (more than 6' apart). We are prepared to wear a face covering and use hand sanitizer as well as exercise physical/social distancing with off-track interactions.

The group that uses the track is a family-oriented community that takes care of their own as well as this facility. Please allow us to once again enjoy the outdoors doing what we love on our favorite little track.

As days / week pass with no further updates, I suggest to follow up, to check on the status, and continue to voice our request to them taking action sooner, then later ...... til they (Fairgrounds Committee) announce the track activities has been opened for use.

Are these Saturday track days at Dixon fairly reliable/frequent?

 

[Manimal]

Are these Saturday track days at Dixon fairly reliable/frequent?

Well, this last season has offered more track days to moto's than years past.

Being that Allen's support focus at Dixon during this next riding season, we may see the same, if not more. Keep in mind, currently, there is NO membership for motos at Dixon. Therefore, cost per rider is $40 for track day participation, when available. (best to have a FB acct. [Kinsman Kart Club group] to keep up on latest announcements).

Additionally, Allen is working on a Race program for Dixon for 2021 race season, TBD. He is working on getting other tracks as well. However, Stockton will not be one of them..... for now.
