Hi all, me who started the debate, first of all i welcome all replies and untill you have tried racing from sitting in a wheelchair then believe me you really cant understand how hard it is. I was able to walk right up untill the age of 39 then overnight became wheelchair bound, i understand that yes making a rostrum for wheelchair access is costly, but again Radio Control Car racer, FEB 2011, has an article where a venue the rostrum only allowed 9 drivers, so they built an extension to allow 15 or more drivers all i can say is untill you are in a wheelchair you would then see how unfair and advantge you have over someone who is low down, you try the next race meeting SITTING in a chair and try to race believe me you will not be able to race properly as you cannot see the corners correctly at all.
Let me know how you get on and please be honest.
