- Organizing car shows
- Taking after-class outings to a local drag strip, for those interested in racing their own cars or watching others race
- Working on the College's dragster
- Preparing, pit crewing, and driving the College-sponsored Mini Indy cars*
* The School of Transportation Technology competes annually in a local Red Cross “Mini Indy” race. The Mini Indy cars are go-karts, powered by 5 hp engines, with fiberglass Indy-style bodies.
