A Most Unusual Yet Ofﬁcial Morganton Trail Guide Children receiving care can experience the excitement of driving on the track while sitting in an authentically constructed Children’s Dream Racer. Strapped in and ready to play video games, watch a movie or listen to music streaming from the built-in A/V components, kids will soon forget about medicine and will be engaged in the thrill of racing. www.childrensdreamracer.com The Children’s Dream Racer provides a fun distraction that will help pass the time and relieve tension for patients, parents and hospital staff.
