Trouble is when i was not in the chair i have seen a couple of racers, but just because there is a minority does it mean that something should not be done? ive been to a couple of tracks offered to help with costs etc but oh no can't do that? again going back to Nicholas Hamilton, i bet if he asked for them to buld something the answer would be a simple YES not having a go at Nicholas but saying how it looks.
Ive been racing since the age of 17 i am 43 and through no fault of my own am in a wheelchair, i went to bed saturday night woke up found i could not walk, that was four years ago since that day ive not raced but hey it happens.
