The garage is one of many, completely indistinguishable from the other large grey aluminum buildings in the Mooresville Motorsports complex. It looks the same inside as well. It's exactly what you'd expect to see in a functioning, competitive, winning racing company. Race cars on pads, people working, phones ringing. Until you look in the far corner where the conference tables are, with chairs all on the same side facing a large screen on the wall. It's tidy with paperwork, manuals and binders, obviously a classroom setting.

It's the home of Manpower to Horsepower, a co-operative effort between SMP Motorsports and Rowan Caberras Community College where post combat Veterans living with PTSD gain hands on experience while earning credits toward their Motorsports Management Certificate. The 14 credit curriculum gives graduates a well rounded foundation in the fundamentals of the motorsports industry.

Well, with the information I am about to spring on you, NO ONE should fear the terra firma anymore. Grass and dirt... to some it's an inviting place to explore, but to those of us on wheels or who use other gear to get around, that same inviting space can be a whole different place. If you've been hesitant to get off the sidewalk for fear of being stuck, then your time has come.

Things have definitely changed over the years. Technology has run rampant in the disabled sports arena from titanium and magnesium-framed wheelchairs build custom for the individual user to prosthetic limbs with microchips in them to learn a person’s movements. In the last couple years we have had people breaking all the barriers that were set before us by all sorts of people disabled and able-bodied alike. Yes, we put barriers on ourselves! So many times I hear people say, “I can’t do that.” Well, yes, actually you can if you really want to. I mean, come on! We have had a 14 year old do the first ever back flip in a wheelchair to a paraplegic racing his dirt bike in the Baja 500. We have infiltrated the CORR Truck Series, Nascar, and are knocking on the door of so many more events.
