I think the vicious circle does its fair bit tbh, doing something positive about it might encourage more people into and our hobby?

At the end of the day any of us could be in the same position... I had to give up the hobby 10 yrs ago after smashing my wrist and not being able to use my hand for over a year, Its pretty gutting having to give up something that you are passionate about.

If we can do something to help people that want to race then there should be no question, least we can all do is promote those clubs that can offer wheelchair access.
