Sandy Reed (c. 1921 – February 7, 2004) was a track announcer with Ascot Park in Gardena, California, and the Riverside International Raceway in Riverside, California. He was in several movies, including Richard Rush's 1967 film Thunder Alley, the 1968 Elvis Presley film Speedway, and Fireball 500. He narrated an LP record that used audio clips, as well as interviews, to highlight the then-ascendant career of Riverside's home-track favorite, Dan Gurney.
About 70-80 persons, including fellow track announcer Bruce Flanders and track photographer Earl Scruggs, attended the 11:00 a.m March 6 memorial service at a church in Pasadena for long-time Ascot track announcer Sandy Reed, 83. The popular voice at race-tracks and in many racing movies passed away February 7 from a massive stroke in an Arcadia hospital. Sandy's second wife, Suzy, was the widow of Sandy's fellow track announcer Scooter McLean at Riverside International Raceway for many years.
Using a combination of narrative by Sandy Reed, plus Dan's own comments, this record is essentially a brief biography of Dan Gurney on record rather than the printed page. Sounds of some of the races in which Dan has competed
