Some moments never lose their meaning. Every year, coming back to Carroll Center for the Blind in Newton, Massachusetts, brings everything full circle for Jay Blake.
This is where Jay came after losing his sight and began rebuilding his life. Today, he returns each summer with the Follow A Dream Funny Car to share his story and remind students that blindness does not define what is possible.
This year's summer students were thrilled to see the race car up close, climb into the cockpit, and imagine themselves behind the wheel. Watching their excitement is always a highlight of our visit.
Thank you to everyone at The Carroll Center for welcoming us back each year. We are honored to be part of this tradition and hope every student leaves believing that with a positive attitude, determination, education, passion, and teamwork, any dream is possible. ... See MoreSee Less

Some stories remind us that innovation comes in many forms.
One company builds electric ferries. One totally blind crew chief races a 300 mph Nitro Funny Car. Both prove that believing in what's possible can change lives.
We're honored to have Follow A Dream and Jay Blake featured in this inspiring opinion piece. We hope you'll take a moment to read it and share it with someone who could use a reminder that dreams are worth chasing.

Rain? No problem. 🌧️
Jay is doing the body shuffle today, moving the Funny Car body from the shop into the race hauler as we get ready for this weekend's car show. Around here, a little rain doesn't slow us down. It just means we work a little wetter.
