Racing for Disabled Vets @ The Rock

 
 
Accessible Racing (AR) plan to expand its race experience by finding sponsors and partners that can bring together the financial, product, and marketing resources to help continue to create compelling motorsports experiences for disabled people of all ages.
 
Accessible Racing will employ a conventional driving simulator to rehabilitate war fighters and civilians with disabilities by teaching them how to drive.
 
VXP driving simulator is a commercial-off-the shelf gaming wheel modified with a low cost hardware simulation of a hand controlled acceleration and braking system powered by iRacing.com advanced training technology.
 
Accessible Racing, Sonalysts Corporation and Dr Jeffrey Heckman have collaborated on a White Paper submission for Driver Rehabilitation Training System (DRTS) to prepare disabled war fighters and civilians to successfully pass all drivers license certification requirements. Sonalysts has an extensive background in military training, as well as computer based military simulation and commercial gaming. We plan to leverage this expertise to develop a comprehensive suite of software training scenarios when funding is procured. 
 
Driver Skills Development Program develop the skills to avoid an accident and transition virtual world skills seamlessly to real world experience where they will learn car control and behavior to anticipate and respond to emergency situations. With the assistance of cooperative insurance in the State of Vermont and vetted in a study conducted by the Vermont center for Justice Research, Driver Skills Development program can reduce the automobile crash rate by 50%. Cooperative Insurance, as well as the Vermont Youth Safety Council PAY their employees and policy holders to attend.
 
Accessible Racing Recreational & Therapeutic value reaches far beyond the highways and speedways with a mentoring program that shares Freedom, Hope and Inspiration with newly injured persons that typically make a mental list of things they can no longer do, this is a road map to recovery and not only learn to do things differently, BUT provide a service and shared experience from participants.
 
Accessible Racing and New England Disabled Sports are strategically planning a Power Sports program that will incorporate the tools above, in addition to marketing in the same fashion as muscle powered sports to control insurance cost and provide Accessible Power Sports benefits to charter members.
 
World Driving Challenge powered by iRacing is a example of one of the recreational activities that we rehabilitation hospitals can feature as a shared activity. Accessible Racing will work with Charter members on develop new Power Sport programs, keeping Social Media out reach current, and help find new ways for Charter Members to contact them.  
 
'Indiegogo' will also be integrated into this project to help charter members access film footage to reach out to family, friends and resources.
 
Accessible Racing will help secure partners that can donate product and services that can help underwrite cost. Major Corporate partners are contingent on the response we gain through charter memberships to help show marketing reach and impact.
 
Accessible Racing needs your help to create a marketing plan that can bring AR to the next level by increasing awareness and positively influencing consideration for Power Sports program and services.
 
 
Lawrence Klamecki, President Racing4Vets, Inc.
Racing4Vets plan is clear, which is to build a grassroots “fun” karting program that’s located near Veterans Administration hospitals, with the opportunity for vets to pursue it as far as they’d like.
 
They WILL establish a U.S. karting rehabilitation and racing program in the USAintegrating with KartForce and the experience of disabled karters in the U.S. to do it correctly.
 
They will  bring an injured veteran’s kart racing team to compete against lads in the UK. 
 
Racing4Vets has so far had a very warm welcome.  I’m getting incoming emails and calls a couple times a week now from people looking to help.  This is a good sign that we will be able to put the necessary resources in place without an inordinate amount of publicity.  Klemechi's greatest concern is the dignity and achievements of the individual veterans
