AR as Promised

Accessible Racing National tour Goes Green at UNOH North South Showdown POST 9-11 report 

Accessible Racing (AR) Commercial Model, Artist & Gamer, Miss Mariana Lee sponsor of #9 in the Nascar Whelen Modified tour  http://www.missmarianalee.net/ , discussing schedule, appearances and media benefits of interest in that will certainly open a few more marketing opportunities for both of us, and consider possibilities of family friendly calendars and other products in Big Box stores around the country.

AR Sales percentage of New  calendar  sales or other products, and distribution with potential retail outlets would bring awareness to great programs working together to grow beyond their individual capabilities. Accessible Racing, is exploring retail outlets;  beauty saloons, aftermarket automotive products, c-store chain or big box store. Promotional appearances at hospitals, trade shows, speedways and sporting events for disabled Vets & Civilians across America. Any business in any industry with any advertising budget is invited to join 9-11 journey that began at New Hampshire International Speedway on 9-11-01 when planes hit the towers. A lot has changed since that day: Driving Instructor Stub Fadden passed, EMT Tommy Blanchette was an EMT and brought the TV out to show us what was happening is now Director of Operations at New Hampshire, Bob Bahre sold the track and jury is out on rather or not Accessible Racing will ever go back to New Hampshire Speedway or remain at fan friendly tracks like White Mountain Motorsports Park and Thompson International Speedway. Its obvious to us their is no shortage of short tracks that 'Get It' Thunder Road in Barre VT,  Stafford Motor Speedway, Beach Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough Maine certainly come to mind.....  

AR New England will capture short track film footage in NH Sept 23 - 24 and incorporate water skiing for disabled &/or more likely consider a return to Thompson International Speedway on Fri, Sat & Sun for the Oct 15, 16 & 17 the World Series. Accessible Racing powered by iRacing.com and VXP driving simulator help develop virtual world driving skills that seamlessly transition to real world applications. Future plans include development of virtual world driver educations for both disabled and able body drivers.

AR National involved in Hollywood / Movie, 8,000 mile journey to be released in 2012, begins in Boston and loops through select locations along the east coast on our way through the south- west and back through Americas heart land to the North East collecting additional feature footage of disabled Vets and civilians spreading message of freedom, hope and inspiration through a variety of entertainment venues that incorporate; VXP driving simulator, Accessible Racing in a real racecar at a real race track, water skiing, snow skiing, surfing and much - much more.

Tentative map of cross country route http://endlessabilities.org/map.htmll  - This is going to go up on all social media outlets and we are going to take suggestions about where we should stop and what we should do. We are working on designing a curriculum to use in the rehab hospitals and this would be an obvious place to include accessible racing program powered by iRacing and VXP driving simulator. Most likely we will host a series of screenings along the way. 

AR recognizes not every disabled Vet and civilians crave driving a racecar; some may simply wish to drive to the corner store for a loaf of bread or pick the kid up after soccer practice. But ALL desire freedom, hope and inspiration to regain a purpose and reintegrate into society. UNOH has been named a veteran friendly learning institution for the past 3 years, AR & UNOH agree they share a common goal.

9-11-01 We were at New Hampshire International Speedway doing a fund raising benefit for U.S. Amy Recruiter Wives Assciation when the planes hit the towers. 10 years latter lots have changed, but we are still doing the right thing, at the right time, for the right reasons!  VXP First LookOn Sunday Sept 11th beginning at 10 AM Pit Party will be on track at Thompson International Speedway.  Fans can get a first look at this amazing car and learn more about Accessible Racing program and how they bring adaptive racing to people with disabilities. Accessible Racing is cultivating a back to work program for disabled Vets to employ transferable work skills to new applications that require education and/or job training.
    
Mobility freedom may be driving the racecar for some, for others it may be regaining the freedom to drive to the corner store for a loaf of bread or pick the kids up from soccer practice after work. But for all, mobility is something purposeful that we would like to give back.  Please contact us to be part of this North South NASCAR celebration and feel proud to support a great cause,  footage will be used in 8,000 mile cross country journey to deliver freedom, hope and inspiration for newly injured patients in rehabilitation facilities.
