Karting 2 Live

Karting 2 Live is a non-profit organization that is devoted to the integration of drivers with disabilities into go kart racing. They will be able to race go karts at club, state, national and international levels once they get the appropriate licenses.

Mission

Our goal here is to give people with disabilities the opportunity to partake in a sport that they would normally be precluded from participating in as there are currently no facilities or equipment available for them to use. The long term vision is to have one of our Kart 2 Live racers competing in higher forms of racing having gained experience and more importantly confidence from racing at karting levels.

Opportunity

Currently there are no facilities available to disabled racers in the karting scene. This lack of facilities is reflective from the lack of any focus by anyone on the area of disabled drivers. The lack of attention leaves disabled drivers feeling that it is all too hard to try to crack into the wonderful world of motorsports. That is by no means a criticism of the sport or any governing body of the sport it is merely a matter of fact. That said it is not a fact that must continue.

Solution

Karting 2 Live is all about racers with a disability getting into motorsport for the first time. So we have the ability to show these people how to get a racing license, join a club, get a medical, pass the observation test, learn their flags and safety procedures etc etc. We will be able to make it easy for the driver to negotiate the paperwork etc involved in getting on track.

what people say

It has been a challenge for Karting 2 Live to get the attention and support they need to build this life changing opportunity for people confined to a wheelchair. I feel this is a very worthwhile cause. It gives hope and allows people to dream when in many cases the dream seems impossible. It builds confidence and acceptance. It breaks down barriers and facilitates integration. I am very happy and proud to be a part of this cause.

People with disabilities don’t want to be wrapped in cotton wool and protected from the world. In fact, they want to experience the same activities as everyone else. There is certainly a strong cohort of people within the disability community who loved the sort of fast paced, adrenaline filled, action packed experience karting can offer. Karting 2 Live is a fantastic initiative and we need more stuff like this in our community to broaden the opportunities available for people with disabilities.

Working with the team of Karting 2 Live has been like a breath of fresh air. They have created a mission of hope for the people with a disability in that they can still race, compete and be a part of something extraordinary. I wish them well with their progress and cannot wait to see drivers in their karts.
