The Post -- Project Track Champion -- Although not specifically about website accessibility, I thought that this article would remind web developers that the Internet should be open to everyone, regardless of disability. Quoting from the article: "...promoting and securing measures to remove barriers that would normally restrict a person with a disability from having an interactive roll within the racing community and other non-related venues." "It's a new experience to be in one of these," says Armando Sanguini as he sits inside a 1991 Thunderbird in his wheelchair. ... The mission statement of Project Track Champion, displayed on the web site, reads: "Project Track Champion is dedicated to the promotion of accessibility for persons with a disability in the racing environment. Project Track Champion is committed to creating, promoting and securing measures to remove barriers that would normally restrict a person with a disability from having an interactive roll within the racing community and other non-related venues."
