![]() ![]() Although Ford had experimented with automobile manufacture since the mid-1890s, it was not until 1901 that Henry Ford became directly involved in car racing. I'm actually going back to the same track later this week to experience a Nascar ride along-can't get enough!!! Thank you Mario Andretti Racing Experience and I have the two picture special to preserve my memories of that day.This chapter revolves around Henry Ford’s involvement in and influence on early motorsport in the United States. ![]() It was about the most exciting thing I've ever done and want everyone to know you can do it too. I caught my breath, relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed my 3 laps around the track. I held on for dear life when the ride first started as the acceleration was swift and very fast right off the bat. Raceway, I was treated with the greatest dignity and the gentlemen that helped me were more than accomodating getting me into and out of the car. Naturally I had concerns about if I could participate due to my physical capabilities and I was assured there would be no problem. It was always a "dream" to be able to ride in a race car so when I was given a gift card for this ride I was thrilled beyond any other gift I could have received. I was brought up around race tracks so loved "racing" in every form throughout my life. I felt I needed to give you feedback since I am a handicapped woman and would want anyone in my position to know that this can be done if it's your wish to participate and might be a little afraid to try. old and handicapped-I wear braces on both legs.
