| Science Bound students took a field
trip to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2003, hosted by the Kelley
Racing team.
Douglas Fletcher, one of the students, said, “My favorite
event of the day was seeing the car’s interior machines and
the equipment used to monitor the cars. I highly enjoyed it when
one of the team’s members, who graduated from Purdue, showed
us the aerodynamics involved in the cars’ design. …
I would like to thank Purdue for sending me on such a fun trip.”
Allias Jones added, “… thank you for giving me the chance
to explore the world of racing. … I learned racing not only
deals with speed, but also a great deal of hard work, timing, and
strategy.”
