Racing Beyond Limits: Torsten Gross's Journey with Hand Controls and Adaptive Technology
Manage episode 427079303 series 2826358
What does it take to race cars at top speeds when you can't use your legs? Meet Torsten Gross, a C6 quadriplegic who has shattered barriers and mastered the art of racing using hand controls. Join us as Torsten shares his remarkable journey, from collaborating with Pennzoil for National Mobility Awareness Month to teaching NASCAR champion Joey Logano how to drive using hand controls. Discover how motorsports provide an equal playing field for everyone and learn about Torsten's foundation, Just Hands, which empowers wheelchair users to feel the exhilaration of racing.
But that's not all—this episode delves into the fascinating intersection of adaptive technology and racing formats, exploring how hand controls are making a mark in everything from road racing to ATVs. We also shine a spotlight on Houston's vibrant auto enthusiast community, featuring local businesses like ProAm Auto Accessories and events like Caffeine and Chrome, Family Cruise-In, and All-Houston Corvette Day Rally. Plus, get the scoop on the upcoming Freedom Fest car show in Richmond, Texas. Whether you're a racing aficionado or simply inspired by stories of overcoming adversity, this episode promises a ride you won't forget!
