As I have said before the doors and hoods are wired shut but keep in mind after some heavy impacts hoods go flying as do doors and that gets really interested. it is not that I don't give a rats tail but it is not like driving your own home built slick race car. so we can run over a hood if need to keep up the speed and just hear a rip or clunk. yes, before you think of it , sometimes you hneed to be half out of your cottin pickin mind to do some of these things in a race with a bunch of blind drivers but for me it is a once a year deal and we are there to have fun, raise money and keep the crowd coming back. if there was no wrecks. no roll overs and no fires soon the crowds would fade. we usually agree no hits on the ladies or the cars they drive but it is a no holds barred as I've been hit by a little blonde hottie according to my driver so . move over Chevy as my Ford is blowing mud all over your face shield. the other car I told you about . more than one year I have had fun trimming his side panels and that is because he gets all mouth , like I don't, well the first year he cut me off on the inside I caught up to him and after three taps on his right front fender and co drivers door he hit the infield sputtering away. I hear on the loud speaker" appartently so and so is having engine problems". I cannot explain the rush of hearing the md splattering or the crunching of fenders. I wonder how the hell do you get tires to squeal on a muddy track but they do. One year the NFB tried to stop us and they had a radio ad saying they represent all blind folks and blind folks were being used. so I cam back with my own radio spot say9ing" use me and by the way folks in the listening audience" NFB does not speak for all blind folks, at least not me.Lee A. Stone". end of conversation about that one. if I can answer more questions please ask and I'll do my best. I'd love to see a race like this to raise money for the blind mice mart which Master Dale Cambell manages. we have had drivers from all over NY, Mass. and Conn. and I think last year we had a lady driver down here from Vermont. as a joint effort for the last six years running I think no less than $18,000 has been raised and the highest is around 4$23 or 24,000. some of the kids are usually around after the race when all drivers are asked to sit down at the table s to autograph tee shirts and that must look pretty interesting because I have not signed my name clear in over 22 years. but after the race it is a good commoridity with drivers I wish sharing a few beers but usually soda and meeting the crowd which came out to support what we have been there to do. to raise money for CampAbilities. find more answers at http://www.CampAbilities.org
I wish to thank the list moderator and all of those having a part of this list. wish all of you . could have a chance, if you wanted to get out on a dirt track. Oh I almost forgot to say. this year we are racing at Lebanon Valley Speedway and I think you can find them at the following website which I had some big trouble getting around in or on: http://www.LebanonValleyspeedway.com this Lebanon Valley track I am told is only flat on the straight away by the grand stands and the rest is all banked so we need to keep up speeds or loose out. again . thanks.lee -- "It's today!" said Piglet.
