The 15th annual Cars and Bikes on Campus showcased the Automotive Programs offered by WCC. From custom builds to restored classics, the show was abuzz with cars of all kinds. People from all over came to see the cars, and enter their own cars and motorcycles into the show. There were awards for best custom-built car, best imported car, and more. Vincent Pakela, a WCC student pursuing both a test technician and powertrain degree through the Automotive Program, won in the best sports car category for his 1968 Austin Healey Sprite. “I got into cars by going to car shows” said Pakela. The car is from Britain, and restored by himself and his father. “We had to rebuild the transmission, the electrical system, and [make] cosmetic repairs to the car”. The cars in the show were all unique and beautifully cared for. Motorcyclists were able to test their bikes’ horsepower on the dyno shootout meter.
