Cambridge, ON - August 6, 2014
A bit of a rushed day for us at Inspiration At Speed today, as both Racing With Autism and Race2Recovery released videos today.
Race2Recovery released their August 2014 update video. A couple of notes for this video. First, congrats on the continued good results in the Freelander Challenge to the team. Second, two members of the R2R team are taking background positions after being at the forefront of the team for the last few years. Co-Founder Tony Harris is turning his attention and focus to other areas of his life, although we hope to see him compete in Dakar again. We'll definitely miss Tony, who is one of the few members of R2R that we've spoken with directly over the years. R2R's Social Media Coordinator Deb Harrison is also stepping down, which is a huge loss for us at Inspiration At Speed, as Deb has been our lifeline to the team the last two years. We're looking forward to working with the new Social Media Coordinator and keeping in touch with Deb going forward. Here's their August Update Video.
Racing With Autism also released a video today that is a chronicle of Austin Riley's adventures at the 3-Day Skip Barber Race School at Road Atlanta last week. It's without a doubt some of the most important six minutes of your life to watch this video. You'll get to watch as a young man overcomes Autism to exceed the expectations of everyone around him and learn how to drive a race car. It's impossible to watch this video and not have your heartstrings tugged on at least a little bit by this incredible young man and his determination to succeed. As Austin himself says, having Autism doesn't mean he can't do great things!
