I bought my mom a racing experience in January for her birthday. On her original date to ride she ended up in the hospital (copd exacerbation and almost on a ventilator) She has extensive skin cancer, end stage copd, is 75 pounds and is disabled (3 back surgeries, 2 neck surgeries) Needless to say she is not in good health. My reason for explaining all of this is this racing experience was on her bucket list. She is on oxygen 100% of the time so I was scared to do this but I could not have asked for a better experience. When we were forced to cancel this company allowed us to do so (with a doctors note) for no charge. Then race day (or our make up day) finally came. She wore her oxygen in the car but wouldnt take it outside in fear someone would see it and not let her ride. I told Kevin, the owner, her situation and he was fantastic. His crew explained in detail instructions over and over....and over until she got it. They helped her in the car and explained again. They made sure once her helmet was on she quickly was able to ride. Kevin then followed her out to the track and hung out in the middle to keep an eye on her. After her ride Kevin immediately went to her car and helped her out, never ever rushing her. I then overheard him tell her she was his favorite customer (very sweet!) After learning she didnt get her picture not only did they let her choose any car to get a picture with (even though they were packing up to leave as we were the last round of people for the day) but he had someone run and get the checkered flag to make the picture even more special. Again, never rushing her! Then the girls there went through to find the pics needed to set up the "picture plaque" we bought. And as if the crew and Kevins patience and thoughtfulness wasnt enough they even gave her a baseball hat! I bought my mom this racing experience because she truly wanted to do it before she died but I could never have done it without the people that were there! Their patience and kindness made this experience better than we could have imagined. My mom had a great time....she was so happy in fact that she was in tears as we pulled out...happy tears of course!! The people who work for Kevin should be proud to be a part of this group. Thank you Kevin and Thank you Sandusky Speedway. You have a huge thumbs up from me! This will show up under the name Mike Clark...but my name is Lori Clark (mom was Linda...
Read moreI was excited to be going to the Calvacade Oct1-3rd. I’m a well seasoned racing fan. With this event here’s what was lacking: The officials did not have any workwear to indicate who they were. The flag, no matter which color, should be visible. In the features, the green was flown only at the beginning and the beginning of restarts. The clean up maintenance people seemed non existent. It looked like a bunch of farm boys, with all the time in the world. The ‘next’ racers were started with too much time between the two, last and next. The stands are treacherous. The woman’s bathroom was out of order on the last day. Food ran out also. This is a good track. I love it, but management needs to manage. Let’s...
Read moreI am very disappointed that this past Saturday, 7-24-21, The national anthem was NOT played at any time. Is this another place that has given in to the "woke" attitude? How very upsetting. This is America. We live by the Constitution. We should be very proud to be aloud those freedoms. Lets take every opportunity to show and experience those freedoms. If you dis-like what the flag stands for, move to another country that stand for what you believe. DO NOT try to change things here for the rest of us that are proud of our country.
We will NOT be going to Sandusky Speedway again. Sad that they are so complacent about our...
