The goal of this an environment for the discussion and consideration for what I would define as the first legitimate attempt at breaking the visually impaired/legally blind/blind land speed record on a motorcycle. Many records have been set and many attempts have been made. Most of these individuals have been assisted by others and their achievements are only made possible by other operators instructing them on left and right, overall speed achieved, and placement on track.
What we plan to accomplish is an untethered record, no assistive drivers, no radio communication, no buzzes or clicks, no smoke or mirrors or gimmicks.
This is an open call for sponsorship, small to large. Please be advised that although I am requesting sponsorship I reserve all rights for the conditional use of sponsorship funds.
The acquisition, preparation, and maintenance of the record breaking vehicle will be preformed solely by visually impaired individuals with the exception of purchased items, not created by us. What sets this record attempt apart from previous is that despite being the operator I will also be the mechanic, tire changer, "carburator guy", etc. All of which will be preformed under the supervision of my legally blind crew chief and father.
Please encourage your friends and family to join this group and please sponsor. The minimum amount needed to make this attempt is $125,000. In today's economy this is a relatively small amount of money and if many people give a little we will reach it quickly. Let us try as a group to make this record attempt before the end of the calender year 2012.
