Competing in a driving simulator, senior Silas Falls controlls the wheel and pedals for a simulation at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This week, Debra Schoolcraft’s 5th period civil engineering class took a trip to the IMS to learn about the engineering that goes into keeping the track and everything included with that ready for the races held there. “I learned a lot, such as how race cars were made throughout the years and how the problems at the track are solved and fixed with engineers,” Falls said. “We got to tour the museum, suites and track. As well as this we had the vice president of construction management for the track, Tyrone Garrison, take us around and explain all of the though that goes into eveyrthing being perfect for the race days.”
