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.
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!

coMING fall 2021!
Our goals for 2021 is to continue to raise funds to pay for safety equipment including helmets and fire suits, tools, organizers for the trailer and misc. parts. We will participate in fundraisers and appearances at race tracks and trade shows to make that happen. When we have met all of these goals then we will begin to schedule events with as many deserving folks as possible and begin to make a difference in their lives. Stay tuned.....

Thanks to the generosity and hard work of professional car builder Frank Eldridge at FF Performance in Exeter, NH who donated his time and his shop to build our new car. He is quite knowledgeable and a great guy and highly recommended for all your racing fabrication needs!
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.
