Albert Rizzi drove in a race at Riverhead Raceway. Albert is blind. All of the other drivers had bags over their heads so they couldn’t see either. He drove yellow car number 11 and came in 2nd place!
Congratulations, Albert!
Albert explained how it worked, “Each driver has a passenger who shouts directions. No one got hurt.”
“I took 2nd place in the race. It was fantastic and I had a great time. I was in the lead for most of the race. I am talking to the raceway owners about doing this race with nothing but blind and visually impaired drivers as a possible annual event. I am in the yellow car number 11.
