Just imagine sitting in class one day at school, daydreaming about working in
the big leagues of the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series. Then, out of the blue,
you have a chance to be picked at random as the one student out of nine WyoTech
schools to be flown to the races and hang out with a professional race team.
That's exactly what happened to 24-year-old
San Jose,
California resident, Timothy Higbee, who
attends the WyoTech
School in
Fremont,
California.
Higbee had no idea he was headed to the fabled quarter-mile at
Pomona on Saturday. "I was picked at
random by Carl Blevins," said a grateful Higbee, "he's one of the WyoTech
administrators."
Snap-on Tools/WyoTech Pro Stock Suzuki rider Steve Johnson eagerly picked
up his special guest and the pair went to dinner at a local In & Out Burger
restaurant before retiring for the night. On Saturday Johnson introduce Higbee
to the sights and sounds of the prestigious 43rd annual Automobile
Club of Southern California NHRA Finals as a full crewmember of the Snap-on
team.
