Hats off to Stuart. And to you for a great shot. I'll bet he would love
one,
Aram

Good Mornin'!
Once again, we spent Sunday at the Ice Races... the last race-day of the
year. Conditions were
good, with temperatures of +3 to +5 (that's 37 to 41 in the USA) with
brilliant sunshine.
Stuart is a paraplegic (sorry, I don't know his story), with only limited
use of his left hand.
But Stuart doesn't let it get him down. He races his specially modified Quad
(ATV), both summer and
winter! Really, the only changes are hand controls, a roll cage and seat
belts. Oh... and he has
what we used to call a "suicide knob", so that he can steer with one hand.
The rest of the racers spot him a full lap head start, and he takes the
start "on the run"., while
they take off from a standing start. Nevertheless, he loses every time...
usually coming last.
Still, isn't that better than sitting at home, feeling sorry for yourself?
Personally, I admire the
guy.
Here's Stu, in action...

C&C welcomed, as always.
David.
