LONG BEACH, Calif. – With the City of Long Beach prohibiting all gatherings of more than 250 people in the city until April 30, the RRDC Evening with Rick Mears Presented by Firestone has been postponed.

The event was originally scheduled for April 16 and was slated to be a part of the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach weekend.

The Grand Prix Association of Long Beach issued a statement March 12 to the effect that discussions are being held with the various series promoters to determine the viability of postponing the event until later in the year.

If the Grand Prix is rescheduled, the Road Racing Drivers Club intends to hold the dinner on the corresponding Thursday prior to the race weekend.
