May 18, 2020 <br />City of Elk River Officials, <br />On behalf of ERX Motor Park, thank you for your leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic. We <br />send our prayers and best wishes to you and your family, your staff, and all of Elk River's and <br />Minnesota's essential workforce. <br />Please know ERX Motor Park, although eager to carefully and responsibly get our 2020 racing <br />season underway, remains supportive of your guidance in reopening. In doing so, we would like to <br />respectfully request your consideration of our Off -Road National motorsports event at ERX Motor <br />Park on July 101n and 111n <br />To date we are moving forward with limited -in -scope plans that will provide our community, fans, <br />staff and participants the ability to return to racing in the safest possible environment. The Off - <br />Road National event has a tremendous financial impact to our community and our business as over <br />60% of our annual revenues are generated from this single event. Without a conditional approval <br />to move forward with the event we cannot continue to incur the costs of our 20 employee's, event <br />marketing and COVID-19 preparation plans. <br />Attached is an overview of our facility, the ERX Off -Road National event and our COVID-19 <br />operational procedures that will be implemented upon conditional approval. We are prepared to <br />incur the additional costs to implement all measures necessary to comply with all Minnesota <br />Department of Health, CDC and OSHA coronavirus guidelines. <br />We request that you review our plans and provide ERX conditional approval for our Off -Road <br />National event. Please let us know if you require any additional information to grant approval. <br />Sincerely, <br />Chris Carlson & Todd Plaisted <br />Co-CEO's <br />ERX Motor Park <br />
