Hi all. I wanted to introduce ourselves to this wonderful group. We are a 501(c)3 non profit organization call Racing Dreamz. Our mission is to give children and youth the opportunity to learn important life lessons and live their
dreams from behind the steering wheel of a dirt track race kart or an asphalt race program.
Today’s economy and the challenges faced by families may seem overwhelming at times. For children and youth with special needs, such as illness, developmental delays, or those whose lives are surrounded by the chaos of economic and social problems, these challenges may seem
even more insurmountable. The opportunity to reach a dream may seem like a distant
star to these kids. When your life is a daily struggle to deal with hunger, uncertainty, therapies, medications, bullying because they are “differentâ€, and poverty, that dream may even slip from their memory. Racing Dreamz strives to provide a path as well as the venue in which to enlighten
children ages 6‐18 by introducing them to the joys and responsibilities of racing. We use racing to provide direction by giving back an opportunity to live a dream or discover a new direction in life.
Using racing simulators, we introduce our “dreamers†to on and off road racing; building their eye hand coordination, ability to make decisions, and self‐confidence. When they are ready, half‐scale off road racing buggies and Sprint Karts will teach team building and mechanical skills related to constructing and maintaining the vehicles. Our program serves the entire family. We help them examine their own skills and talents and encourage them to contribute them toward the program and their child’s team. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbors and others are already volunteering for specific duties and building their own sense of self‐worth.
We are in the process of trying to acquire 95 acres to build a racing complex for youth racing.
