Michael-Ryan Pattison plans to race this diesel-powered '47 Hudson pickup at El Mirage and Bonneville in sanctioned Southern California Timing Association (SCTA) events. You will probably also see him at the Silver State Classic Open Road Race. What's amazing is Michael-Ryan has no mobility below the collarbone. He controls the throttle and steering with a specially designed mouthpiece. The mastermind behind this race truck is co-driver Randy Simmons, president of Robotic Integrated Technology. The inspiration comes from two organizations called A Cure is Coming, and The Michael-Ryan Pattison Foundation. Their goal is to bring awareness for those with spinal cord injuries. This truck proves anything is possible as long as you follow your dreams. To learn more about the Hudson project, go to: www.aCureIsComing.com
