Green Dash Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 From the article:An outdated R Model Mack truck was slated for removal from the campus' diesel bay to make room for more current equipment. Instead of sending it to a scrap yard, the director of education, along with faculty and Lincoln students, developed a plan to rebuild it, then race it.And 10 years from now, when the "current equipment" is scrapped, they would be wishing they still had an R model.Outdated...BAH!
