May 30, 2020

We would like to start by thanking all of you who have reached out to us during the last couple of months to check in with your supportive messages. Our community of racers thrives on social connection and we miss you all very much. We would also like to thank those who have supported our local family business by continuing to purchase your karting related products on our site.

As the State of Washington issues it’s phase one, we are looking forward to opening our doors and allowing visitors to our facility. As of June 1st, the kart shop, the service department, race kart practice and private coaching will be available. We are also hoping to host our first SIMA club race on July 25th. Further information will be available in a couple of weeks.

To ensure the safety and health of our staff and our visitors, we are providing you with the protocols and procedures of our re-opening. These items will be assessed, and potentially modified, on a weekly basis.

All visitors must make a phone reservation and pre-pay for the items or services they wish to purchase. All visitors to the facility will be expected to provide their first name, last name, physical address and telephone number, which will be added to our customer log.

PREPARING FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT (FOR TRACK TIME ONLY)

  1. Visitors must bring their own pens to sign waivers. A new waiver will be used for each visitor.
  2. Only one additional spectator per driver is permitted at the facility.

DURING YOUR VISIT

  1. We encourage you to wear a mask.
  2. Please disinfect your hands upon arrival. We will have a hand sanitation station at the front of the door.
  3. Please be mindful of social distancing in the parking lot, and around the pits.
  4. Users must practice social distancing when awaiting track time.
  5. Leave the facility immediately after they are done to eliminate congestion/gathering on the property or in the parking lot.
  6. Food and drinks will not be permitted in the building.
  7. Please refrain from touching any product showcased in the showroom.
  8. The dressing rooms will be closed during this time.

DOING OUR PART

  1. Increase the number of hand sanitizing stations throughout the facility.
  2. Ensure restrooms are frequently cleaned and appropriately sanitized throughout the day.
  3. SIMA and Italian Motors will regularly sanitize counter tops, door knobs, other common surfaces, cash registers, kiosks, rental karts and frequently touched surfaces including employee used equipment.
  4. When outfitting drivers with helmets, gear, protective clothing, staff will maintain social distance. All gear will be sanitized between each use.
  5. Look for 6 foot markers on the ground of the showroom for physical distancing during check-ins, and when outfitting customers.
  6. Maintain minimum six-foot separation between all employees (and customers) in all interactions at all times. When strict physical distancing is not feasible for a specific task, other prevention measures are required, such as use of barriers, and minimize staff or customers in narrow or enclosed areas.
  7. Install signage to discourage group congregation, or to limit numbers of people in a certain area.
  8. All equipment will be wiped down and sanitized after use. This includes customer karts that have been brought in for service.

Thank you all for your support and understanding during this time. We look forward to seeing you all soon!
