Gearheads Club Invitation: Join Us for Some High-Octane Fun!
Are you a car enthusiast? Do you enjoy getting your hands dirty and working on machines? If you answered “yes” to either of these questions, then boy, do we have an exciting opportunity for you!
The Gearheads Club is revving up to build a Ford Explorer Dragster, and we need your help to transform this beast into a speed demon! We’ve already dropped a small block 350 into it, because why not start with a little horsepower, right? But that’s just the beginning! We have NITROUS ready to install, and yes, you heard it right — we’re talking about TWIN TURBOS! I repeat, TWIN TURBOS!!!
Imagine the sheer thrill of working on a project like this. You’ll get to learn the ins and outs of automotive mechanics, all while sharing laughs, stories, and maybe a few “oops” moments. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a complete newbie, there's a spot for everyone in our club.
Join Mr. Ron and Mr. Thirtyacre for our weekly gatherings on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3:15 PM in the Auto Mechanics shop. Not only will you be part of an epic build, but there will also be snacks! Yes, you read that right — snacks! Because what’s better than working on cars? Working on cars with some delicious treats to fuel your creativity!
So, if you’ve ever felt the urge to roll up your sleeves and dive into the exciting world of automotive engineering, come join us! Let’s make some noise, have some fun, and maybe even break a few speed limits (while staying safe, of course)! We can’t wait to see you in the shop!
Sign-up sheets are available from Mr Ron, Mr Thirtyacre, and in the counseling Office!
