Dysfunctional Racing
Dysfunctional Racing was formed in 2004 after I had a terrible crash on a Honda
crf50, which left me paralyzed. After my accident I was looking for a way to
get back out there racing, when I met Danny Barnett another person in a
wheelchair who also crashed on a motorcycle and was left paralyzed. His injury
was much lower and happened several years before mine. Danny ended up being my
occupational therapist, while I was at the first hospital we started talking and
I found out that he raced a off-road buggy that you controlled with you
hands(gas and brakes). My only problem was he had finger movement and I
don't.
I'm a c4-5 quadriplegic; I don't have feeling or movement below the nipple
line. I have limited triceps muscle, and I don't have use of my fingers.
The goal of our team is to provide awareness to encourage the principles of
teamwork, discipline, dedication, and sportsmanship.
We appreciate the generous support of the sponsors that help out.
Thank You,
Dysfunctional Racing
