When motorsports enable people who feel like they aren't whole or that they aren't able to compete without a handicap and then they get in these machines and they find a way to hold their own and they find a drive that they were missing since they became injured.

I know a woman who raced motorcycles for some years and she said that the reason she fell in love with it was because being on a motorcycle was like having an extremely athletic extension of your body and it leveled the playing field. Anyone can get on a bike and they have the same power/ability at their disposal, it's just about figuring out how to use it better than the other guy. I think a lot of motorsports fall into that same type of thing and there aren't really a lot of sports that are anywhere near as 'extreme' that are accessible in the same way.

I spoke to the guy who owned this monstrosity at the Brighton Speed Trials and got a similar insight. He was 80 years old, and has done all the work himself. It's got a 9.25l big-block and he's hit a 9.xx quarter mile on his best run. He said that what he loves about it is that as everyone around him is getting slower, he keeps getting faster :) I love that as a concept...
