Disabled & Drifting



Lots of normal people can't even drive properly. For proof, see some of the idiotic driving during your morning commute on the freeway.



So for a disabled person to drift, it's a mind-blowing feat of awesomeness. A demonstration of the indomitable human spirit over adversity.



The three pictures above are taken by Dino Dalle at a drift event in Nikko, Japan and according to him, "Pulling on the lever will actuate the throttle while moving it forward will get the brakes to come on. He made it looks so easy out on track and was putting out more tire smoke than anyone else!"



Another example I know of in Japan. 2005 D1GP champion Kazama tried out the set up and attest its not easy at all!



The latest example is an email from Ford's PR saying that they just got a blind man onto the new Mustang and he was doing donuts!

This trailer might be a deliberate effort to tug at our heartstrings, but nonetheless, it was a decent thing to do for a car lover who lost his sight. Full video to be out soon.
