The Hudson Project - Michael-Ryan Pattison Foundation Race Truck Display Placard

This is a photograph of an informational display placard resting in the engine bay/bed area of a custom race truck at a car show. The placard is from The Michael-Ryan Pattison Foundation and promotes "The Hudson Project," billed as the first ever race vehicle driven by a quadriplegic. The text explains that the project's purpose is to build awareness and support for the Foundation's goal of creating a state-of-the-art rehabilitation center in the Seattle area serving persons who become suddenly disabled, and describes Michael-Ryan's vision of strengthening the mind, body and spirit of those living with spinal cord injuries through specialized therapies. Photo captions identify Randy Simmons as designer/builder and Michael-Ryan Pattison as driver, note the vehicle was built for land speed and road racing, is powered by a 7.3 L Power Stroke diesel engine producing 800 horsepower, and is controlled by a one-of-a-kind mouthpiece. Readers are invited to support the project through sponsorships and donations and to visit www.acureiscoming.com. Visible around the placard are components of the actual race vehicle, including CryO2 cryogenic intake equipment, electric cooling fans, a battery cutoff switch, and braided lines. This is promotional/charity literature, not a vehicle service or wiring document.
