As long as the blue handicapped card was hanging from the rearview mirror,
I don't see why not.

Well then I guess there is potential for there to be a baseball or football player with no arms.They could just design adequate artificial limbs.

Actually there was already a baseball player with only one arm.

You are right, there are alot of potential to do alot of different things to players/sports. I just don't see what is so funny about my post. All you would have to do is put the clutch, gas and brake on the steering wheel, which has been done on many many vehicles.

How many other sports (professionally) is there a potential for a person void of legs to compete?

Sure,if you put some thought into it,I guess it's not so funny.But on the surface when you first read it,it's pretty funny.

Do you all think that you can get behind the wheel of your car and drive over a 180mph with another car to the side and front inches apart and maintain that pace for, let's say, two plus hours? Does one think that this is really that easy, that ANYONE can do it? So does that mean that anyone can be TRAINED to do ANY "SPORT"? I think some have it and some dont. I think that there are things that other people are not cut out to do.
How can one say that nascar is not a sport! I think that it takes MORE than a little skill to get it done.
