Waterbury, VT — The American-Canadian Tour (ACT) has officially postponed the season-ending banquets for the series and its sanctioned tracks until the spring of 2022. The decision was made due to health and safety concerns about the potential spread of the COVID-19 virus in an indoor environment.
The ACT, Thunder Road, and White Mountain Motorsports Banquet of Champions typically have high attendance due to the number of teams and individuals being honored. With outdoor banquets not a realistic option at this time of year, and the science showing that COVID-19 spreads much more easily indoors, officials have chosen to exercise an abundance of caution.
Officials will mail out the point fund checks for ACT, Thunder Road, and White Mountain at the beginning of November. Banquet details for all ACT series and tracks will be announced at a later date. The 2022 schedules should be finalized by early December.
“We believe this is the best and safest thing to do given the circumstances,” ACT managing partner Cris Michaud said. “We know our teams like being able to dress up and celebrate their accomplishments right after the season while it’s still fresh on everyone’s mind. But it’s simply not worth the potential health and safety risks in the current environment. We look forward to having celebrations for ACT, Thunder Road, and White Mountain in the spring that will be worth the wait.”
