Any advice about Wheelchair races or training or anything else about would be great... thanks.!!

I dont have a whole lot to offer you on this subject as I really want to get into this as well. I had plans to buy a used one but it fell through and the person sold it out from under me. I am again looking for a racing chair and have done some research on getting started, getting in/out of chairs, gloves, wheels, tires, etc. I am not sure if I have any more info than you but mine has all been research not personal experience... yet.
