I wish him luck, but I don't see how he could work the clutch. I suppose he could use a dragster or funny car clutch, but it would be time consuming and I can't imagine staying competitive with an automatic transmission.

I use modified controls on my car and a manual transmission simply isn't practical even with sufficient fine motor skills in one leg!
