This guy hasn't quit racing. I'm pretty sure he can only use hand controls, but haven't read much about him recently. One of my real-life inspirations. (And to those who didn't grow up watching Indycar racing in it's heyday, it's Alex Zanardi).

One thing to note: Don't think an auto is 100% required. There's the Dual Clutch transmissions that are just as efficient as manuals, and shift faster to boot. Might be something to look into

Why we race.

This a compilation video of the racing career thus far of one of my friends that races with NASA. Drew is a paraplegic and it doesn't slow him down one bit as he routinely wins races. He is one heck of a great guy and I have no doubt would be glad to give advice.

RJ Valentine's guys came up with a really neat set of hand controls for a CRG kart.

Call CRG America, 781-843-0100. From what I've seen the throttle offers better control than a pedal.
