SUBJECT: RLT COMPETITION BULLETIN 2020-9:
Safe-to-Race Task Force Status
The Safe-to-Race Task Force has completed its assignment. Below is the link to the Race Resumption Plan and Best Practices Toolkit for Motocross and Off-Road. It was the mission of the Task Force to develop best practices for our industry that focused on the health and safety of riders, fans and staff in a post-COVID-19 society. These protocols are now available to event organizers of all motorsports disciplines to assist them as they develop plans with their local officials to reopen their racetracks in compliance with social distancing guidelines.

About the Race Leadership Team:
The RLT consists of representatives from the AMA, MX Sports and MX Sports Pro Racing. The RLT will reconvene next Monday to review race schedules, making adjustments as needed, and will work with event organizers to reschedule events when possible.
The RLT continues to urge racing families to use common sense: 1) wash your hands often; 2) avoid shaking hands or coming into close personal contact with others; 3) cough into your elbow; 4) if you are sick, stay home; 5) if you are really sick, go to the hospital; and 6) don’t panic.
The health, safety and welfare of our riders and their families remains paramount, and we will keep our race community apprised of all further developments.
