Officials from Historic Sportscar Racing and Masters Historic Racing have announced cancelation of the HSR Masters Historic Racing Weekend scheduled for July 10-12 at Watkins Glen International Raceway. The decision follows a new mandatory two-week quarantine order issued by New York, New Jersey and Connecticut for visitors to the tri-state area from nine other states.
The quarantine impacts visitors from Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington, Utah, and Texas.
“Although the HSR Masters Historic Racing Weekend at The Glen in upstate New York has attracted a growing list of nearly 120 entries from around the country – including as far away as Washington state — too many competitors set for the event are based in one of the states named in the order as having high rates of COVID-19,” according to the news release.
In addition to competitors, “Event sanctioning body HSR, and the majority of its management and field staff, is based in Florida.”
Still on the HSR calendar is a racing weekend September 18-20 at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.
