Two years ago the Caz students had an idea for a custom part they needed for the drive system of their 2nd car. The students designed them and Indian Springs Manufacturing built them. If this were industry,the parts would have cost over $8000.00 to manufacture. They are now working with the Caz students to manufacture a motor mount designed by the students for their new Etek motor in car # 37.
