My high school four wheel club has been chosen to compete in this years RTCC at the Badlands!
That's not the only thing...they also said they want to do a feature on the Jeep, the students, my auto program, and my career center!
Woo hoo! http://www.frostjedi.com/phpbb/images/smiles/cheer.gif
Some of you know that I use my YJ in class to teach the kids different things that they can't get other places, but some of you don't. They have learned how to modify and customize things and do welding, wiring, body work, fuel injection conversions and all kinds of other stuff. They have to keep their grades up in ALL of their classes to participate in the Jeep project.
Before you go nuts on me, the school does not pay for any of it. The whole program has been funded for the last 5 years by me...well...my wife (she keeps the credit cards) and through donations and sponsorship from private people and larger companies.
I'm taking the Sault Area Career Center Off-Road Club to the Badlands the first week of August for this once in a lifetime event. From what I hear, they took in about 3000 applications and picked us as one of 20 teams.
Anyway, for more info, or to donate to the project, you can go HERE (http://eup.k12.mi.us/~tstrader/RTCC/).
