Enorimental Science
EPA / Kansas Speedway
Project
This
is the project was the project with Surplus Exchange and the EPA. My project
started out in Surplus Exchange with the planning of the project. Then once
I had gotten that done I stated to do the project by making an interview.
To do the interview I contacted Michael Walker a rep at Kansas Speedway. We
did the interview over the phone. Then I went to my troop (which is troop
87) and showed my project to them by showing posters and signs to tell them
about what to do with old oil and about the Kansas Speedway. Also I did this
for one other troop and it worked out well.
I think that this project has changed my view on the sport of NASCAR
and the auto-racing world.
