Lynn McKenzie has been involved in racing for over 30 years and has owned Lynn McKenzie Automotive for the past 18 years. The truck he brought to Red River Technology is an NHRA Pro Stock Chevy S-10, a remarkable machine built for elite drag racing performance. Powered by a 632 big block engine producing between 2,400 and 2,600 horsepower, it can run an eighth mile in just 4.16 to 4.5 seconds at speeds exceeding 200 mph. This type of vehicle competed in the NHRA Pro Stock Truck class, a short-lived but highly competitive professional drag racing division active from 1998 to 2001. Thank you, Mr. McKenzie, for bringing your incredible truck to demonstrate for our Auto Service Technology students—we truly appreciate your time and expertise.

RRTC’s Pre-Engineering Academy students tested their mousetrap cars this week—powered by creativity, teamwork, and a little spring-loaded energy. A mousetrap powered car is a vehicle that uses a mouse trap for a motor and a string to transmit force. In this method one end of a string is attached or tied to the arm on the mousetrap and the other end of the string is wound around an axle. By winding the string around the axle, the mouse trap's spring is stretched and now you have your stored energy. As the mousetrap car is released, the mouse trap pulls the string off of the axle, causing the wheels to turn and off the vehicle goes.
