[SportsandRec] Diecast Collecting and Racing

[Wade Hemmelrick]

Doing my best to encourage and support accessible diecast racing.
While the dominant background music is fun to listen to, so are the
sounds of diecast wheelies on Hot Wheels tracks. Even if we cannot see
the action, at least the relevant sounds and nonvisual descriptions go
a long way towards reaching and including a wider array of people with
blindness and other disabilities.
