Riverside International Speedway is set to host  the Toromont Cat 150 for the Parts for Trucks Pro Stock Tour on September 26. The Nova Scotia’s Public Health Authority approved Riverside to host as many as 1,250 fans at the event with appropriate COVID-19 restrictions in place.

The grandstand area will be separated into five self-contained zones, each with their own entry/exit, washrooms, and seating.

Fans must maintain a minimum two meter/six foot distance at all times from anyone who is not in their close family or social group while on Riverside property; this includes the parking lot, to and through their dedicated zone entrance and exit, while seated, going to and from washrooms, and any line ups they may incur while on-site. They must also stay in their zone, and depending on the zone, every third or fourth row will be available for seating.

Pre-determined family and social groups of up to 10 people can sit together with a two meter/ six foot distance between groups and all fans are required to wear a face mask at all times except when seated with their group.

COVID-19 screening and contact tracing information collection will take place at time of ticket purchase as well as at the entry on race day. Anyone not adhering to COVID-19 protocols will be asked to leave.

Racing will start at 2:30 p.m. on September 26. Riverside will announce a full schedule in the coming days and tickets will be available later this week, online with digital delivery. Premium Seat and Season Pass holders who renewed for 2020 will be contacted directly by email.
