Texas Road House Driving Experience

NASCAR-STYLE RACE CAR FOR DISABLED

Restaurant Hosts Fundraiser and Meet and Greet with Car Founders


WHO:             Accessible Racing (AR), a non-profit organization, was created to help the
newly disabled begin developing driving skills using the VXP virtual driving simulator. Once they master the virtual world, drivers can transition seamlessly to real world applications. AR provides the only NASCAR-style race car modified for wheelchair users, and features an accessible driver's door that opens to 90 degrees. The car also includes specialty features such as dual seats, low resistant steering, hand control brakes and gas pedals, and an instructor's side brake and steering for safety.

WHAT:            See this amazing car and learn more about Accessible Racing and how they bring adaptive racing to people with disabilities. Meet Accessible Racing co-founders Peter Ruprecht and Brian Hanaford, along with Wounded Warrior driver, Ian James Brown, a United States Air Force Lieutenant who was paralyzed in the line of duty.

In addition, Texas Roadhouse will donate 15% of all food sales that evening to Accessible Racing.
