The Short Version
We use a specially modified race car that is very similar to those driven in the NASCAR Cup Series. Our unique engineering includes a driver's door and seat that swivels 90 degrees, which allows us to transfer drivers from a wheel chair into the racing seat. Our car's chassis once ran in the Daytona 500! It now has a Pace Performance Chevy 350 race motor with a B&M turbo 350 automatic transmission. Most of the cars components were donated by the top manufacturers in racing products from across the country including all the best in safety.
We can accommodate drivers with a variety of disabilities including paraplegic, quadriplegic, and amputees. Dual controls keep everyone safe as our own race car driver sits on the right side with a steering wheel, gas and brake. It also means that some fast laps are included in every driving experience!

Thanks to the generosity and hard work of professional car builder Frank Eldridge at FF Performance in Exeter, NH who donated his time and shop to build our car. Frank is quite knowledgeable and highly recommended for all your racing fabrication needs!
Drive Master in Fairfield, NJ fabricated the door and dual controls and provided the hand controls. Drive-Master offers many different types of adaptive equipment and has dealers located throughout the USA and across the globe. Drive-Master also sells and services a full line of wheelchair accessible mini vans, full size lowered floor van conversions, EMC driving equipment, hand and foot controls, wheelchair and scooter lifts.
The Technical Details
We started with a COT chassis that Brian Keselowski raced in the Daytona 500. Our car has a one piece fiberglass gen-6 show car body mounted on it with Cup Series components.
The motor is a GM 602 circle track crate motor that produces nearly 400 horsepower. A turbo 350 automatic transmission keeps our drivers from needing to shift.
We keep everyone safe with a state of the art fire suppression system and all the latest safety equipment. Virtually every part of this car has been donated by the top manufacturers in the racing industry from across the country. We did not compromise safety or quality and all of our sponsors and donors were very excited to be a part of this worthwhile project.
