Show Time 4 disabled Vets

SHOW TIME when Accessible Racing and VXP driving simulator showcase cutting edge programs that develop virtual world driving skills & transition seamlessly to real world applications.

http://youtu.be/8_HtgIEUd84  explains the blue print at Thompson International Speedway on 9-11-12 and returns this weekend, Oct 14-16, to capture TV quality footage to be aired on Veterans Day. 

Features will include NEWLY designed VXP driving simulator, a gaming wheel designed with hand controls instead of peddles, typically found on the shelf in big box store. Therapeutic benefits to recreational and occupational therapist develop virtual world driving skills that seamlessly transition to real world experience. This helps newly disabled still in the hospital realize there are alternatives to surrendering to board games the rest of their life, and inspires a lot more opportunities then they might have imagined. 
 
In addition to a standard wheel for paraplegics, a horizontal wheel for quadriplegics and joy stick for amputees allow disabled persons the same opportunity currently available to able body gamers.  
 
VXP Engineering, field test, field surveys,  working models, drawings and prototypes will be funded by external sources. 

In addition, a leading software engineering company that has developed training programs for every Navy Submariner in the past 25 years has expressed interest in Accessible Racing vision to develop on-line drivers education for newly injured disabled persons to expedite the process of reintegrating into society. Hanaford believes, "if this works for disabled persons we will change the face of drivers education as its known today!"
