Combat Vets & Accessible Racing making national headlines at Wall Stadium

 

Accessible Racing (AR) and VXP The Next Generation, driving simulator, are making huge strides for disabled Vets and civilians. AR & Savannah College of Art and Design are in discussions to reengineer and designing VXP to address therapeutic and gaming needs, most importantly developing virtual world driving skills that transition seamlessly to real worlds applications.

The standard gaming wheel with peddles can be purchased in most big box stores, VXP driving simulator is modified with hand controls for wheel chair users and other hand control drivers.

 

VXP The Next Generation serves a dual purpose. Benefits include therapeutic drivers education and gaming competition. AR and SCAD are discussing the process of developing a horizontal wheel for quadriplegics and joy stick for amputees. 

Eastern Connecticut Chamber of Commerce suggested Accessible Racing speak with a Veteran friendly business, that has written software programs for NAVY. The past 25 years every submariner has trained on software training simulators,  if their training works for submariners - we believe it will work for disabled persons transitioning skills to drive with hand controls. If it works for disabled....why wouldn't it work for able body and change the face of drivers education as it is known today?

Dave Baskin, Chairman of International Paralympic committee, founder and director of NRA Disabled Shooting Services and Board of Directors for Accessible Racing and VXP driving simulator is developing an on-line racing league that will operate in the same foot print as multi day events to raise money for AIDS bike ride and Breast Cancer walk. This on-line program will be marketed to 15,000 post in the United States and is not a regional event with moving cities like AIDS and Breast Cancer events. On line driving experience will feature individual web sites and  yield a higher % of donations to benefit the cause.  This is a solution to combat PTSD that is the main issue of combat Vets and caregivers are wrestling with that will no doubt build networks and shared activities that reach far beyond the speedway and athletic events.
