Action Track Chair: Helping people with disabilities live a better life

After 30 years in the motor sports industry, Tim Swenson changed gears a bit and decided to help disabled people have the freedom of hunting, fishing, hiking, going to the beach and other activities.

After months of research and development the Action Track Chair was born. You can see it here: www.actiontrackchair.com.
