Hill College students attend career day at the races Hill College Johnson County Campus welding and automotive students recently participated in Youth and Education Services Career Day at the races sponsored by the U.S. Army. the event took place at the Texas Motorplex in Ennis and was the fifth year for the students to participate. the students toured the pits and talked to drivers along with racing team members. Inside the pit area, students were able to watch teams troubleshoot and diagnose their race cars. they watched engines being torn down and reassembled on the spot which benefited the automotive students while the welding students appreciated seeing welds that were done to create the frames and bodies of these race cars. "this was a great opportunity for our students to see a different side of the trade they are learning," said Welding Coordinator Brian Bennett.
