Marc Buoniconti, Miami Project to Cure Paralysis and the Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis, rode with Wayne Taylor in the Pirelli Daytona Prototype two-seat, before the recent Grand Prix of Miami at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Buoniconti suffered a spinal cord injury in a 1985 football game while playing in the Citadel. While recovering from injuries that left him paralyzed from the neck down, he committed his energy to raising funds for the Miami Project.

"It was awesome," Buoniconti said after the walk. "You try to appreciate that when you're watching on television - and I've been involved with racing for a long time, when my dad was with the U.S. Snuff - but getting in the car and feeling like they are totally different. I say, braking and power in the corners with the G forces are more than I expected. I said to Wayne, do not worry about me.

"He said it was about 70 percent, so I can only imagine spending by 80-90 percent. Maybe I can talk to him on that for next year."

Also get a ride to Taylor was the legendary hot rod designer Chip Foose, who received a one-of-a-kind Ford Flex design to one lucky fan that morning.

Buoniconti is the son of NFL Hall of Famer Nick Buoniconti, who anchored the defense of one of the greatest football teams of all time, undefeated Super Bowl champion 1972 Miami Dolphins.
