Default Re: Cart for Darrell Gwynn

They were modified electrics by D&D, the cars each resembled their 1986 real cars, they we 240" long. Given Darrell need to be placed in the car, the top of the roll cage had to be bolted and unbolted and Darrell drove it with a joy stick similar to his wheelchair for both power and steering, the brakes were electric over air as he does not have the power in his one remaiming arm to use a manual brake.....given all that we tuned so as not to go over 35 mph. They raced last year at 5 different NHRA national events including the US National in Indy where Darrell got his only Indy Wally.
