CLEVES, Ohio —
Hamilton County Public Health is issuing a violation notice against a sports park on Cincinnati's west side after it held an event over the weekend, officials said.

Hamilton County Health Commissioner Greg Kesterman said the department received several complaints Monday regarding an event that occurred at Edgewater Motor Sports in Cleves on May 3.

Kesterman said from the video reviewed, the track was in violation of the Ohio Department of Public Health's stay-safe order that took effect May 1. He said Hamilton County Public Health Department will be following up with the facility and issuing a notice of violation.

"We are all in this together and we don't want to have to do this twice so it's on all of us to act in a responsible way," Hamilton County Commissioner Denise Driehaus said. "I've seen the videos and pictures and there was not safe distancing, masks were not being worn. It not only affects the people there but all of the people they interact with. I just want to say that they can recognize that it's on us."

Not a good situation at Edgewater.

Think the Edgewater event was closed to the pubic.
A no-prep race. Maybe around 20 some cars
What bought the attention was a guy from Ny wreck his
sedan and burnt it to the ground. Fire dept was called in.
There was a video on "Y tub*" but has been removed.
Have seen it on several other racing sites.
I heard the story on a radio station and they made it sound
Like it was big event. Not the under the radar private
Event it was.
Not looking good for the Edge but we will see.
Hope it all blows over and everybody can get to racing

Someone filed a complaint against Bremerton for it's planned race this weekend. Track got a Cease and Desist order in the mail. Might have to stay closed until July 9 or something like that. The Footbrake Race was going to be the weekend of the 4th.
