Jefferson County Public Health is promising to pursue legal action against Bandimere Speedway’s owner after the speedway held a racing event on July 4 that allegedly violated a court order that laid out crowd size and social distancing requirements for the event. According to a statement posted on the JCPH website, JCPH and Bandimere agreed to “clear, court ordered requirements” leading up to the Jet Car Nationals event “with the intention of permitting a well-controlled event to proceed.” “While Bandimere said they would comply prior to the event, those requirements were violated,” the statement reads. According to the statement, that agreement included requirements for six feet of social distancing between households to be maintained and that gatherings within the venue be limited to “175 people per activity area” However, the release clarified that requirement did not limit the entire venue to 175 people. Instead, Bandimere was supposed to use the social distance calculator to determine how many individuals, up to a maximum of 175 people, could safely social distance in various areas, such as individual grandstands.
