A teacher challenged his auto shop students to build a dirt car and maintain it, he races it.

He is retiring at the end of the year. This is one way to get kids into auto shop in school. Get kids to build a DIRT car and work it.

I loved auto shop. I was suspended several times for skipping English or social studies to loiter in the bays and see what was being wrenched.

It launched a career for me and I have nothing but fond memories. I'm a bit jealous I didn't have a teacher than did this with class-crewing the car. What a cool thing. The making of Motor-heads.
