VETMotorsports (Peter Cline)

For years now GTM has participated in community, charity and philanthropic events like SCCA’s "Helmets off to Heroes", and last season we were introduced to the team from VETMotorsports, an organization that, since 2013, takes Veterans with service connected injuries and places them into Motorsports teams as a non-clinical therapy program. With us is Peter Cline, executive director and founder of VETMotorsports to explain how it all works.
