I ended up doing mechanics, where we had to disassemble a non-functional go-kart engine, diagnose the problem, and reassemble it so that it worked (me and my partner were the first to get it working, but it blew up after running for 10 seconds hahahaha); carpentry, where we built a new 30-foot wall in our school, including metal frame, insulation, electrical, drywall, and paint; and craftsmanship, where we did a few small projects.

All the hi-po engines of 1969 were 10.00:1 with the Hemi at 10.25:1. When Jay stepped on it you can hear that this car lacks the crisp bark that the early hi-po 440 motors had.
