Flying Blind With Dan Parker, the World's Fastest Blind Man on the Bonneville Up To Speed Podcast

Dan Parker is not the kind of guy who sits around waiting for cool stuff to happen to him.   A lifelong racer and machinist, Dan’s racing days could have been cut short after a tragic drag racing crash deprived him of his sight.   But that’s not the story Dan wanted to write, so he devised a way to continue racing – on both motorcycles and in cars – and is now the fastest blind man alive.    Hear the whole story on this episode of the Bonneville Up To Speed Podcast!
