Wheelchair racing

I had the opportunity to witness a wheelchair marathon today and it was simply amazing as I observed the intensity of the race and the full blooded race by sports wheelchairs. Every racer looked as fit as an able bodied individual and I give them the utmost respect. After the race, I drove my friend who was a competitor home. He has a stairlift at home to move his wheelchair and himself up to the second floor as I watched him maintain his wheelchair. As this is the first time I have seen the stairlift in action, I asked him some questions about it. He seems to be well versed in stairlifts as he explained the operations and the various stairlift parts involved in making this machine works. I learnt alot about stairlift from him today, not only from his determination shown during the wheelchair race but also his in depth knowledge of the stair lift machine.
