In-Place Recycling Seminars Designed to Promote Pavement Preservation

I don't always work on asphalt plants. This is my mechanic/welder Richard helping me get strapped into the seat of our 1991 Ford Thunderbird we built in our shops. This car has a 1,400-hp Ford motor and runs 7.7 seconds @ 185 mph in the 1/4 mile. We use this and other race cars we build to demonstrate the welding skills, electrical and mechanical skills we possess here at CMC.
