Bet you’ve never ‘seen’ this before… a car race with drivers who are blind.
That’s exactly what’s happening tomorrow at 7 o’clock at the Centre for Speed in Shediac. The first blind driver stock car race in the Atlantic provinces will have 10 blind drivers competing in a 10 lap race.
Participant Brian Thorne tells CHSJ news each driver will have a co-pilot to give instructions, but they won’t be allowed to touch the brakes or steering wheel.
All the money raised goes to the MIRA foundation, who train seeing-eye dogs.
For more information on tickets and to donate, you can call Brian Thorne at 672-5574 or e-mail atlantique@mira.ca.
Tickets are $10 each or $25 for a family pass.
