Lake Havasu High School students video taped and produced a 30 min production as a class project in 1979. Howie DiBlasi was the Vocational Education Instructor that used the race as a real world project for the students to learn on. Today it is called Project Based Learning (PBL). Back in the day Howie DiBlasi and his student were 21 years ahead of the curve in providing Vocational training for his students.
