The Old Ford Race ran from Atlanta to Athens, a 70-mile sprint that marked one of the few times Tech students hurried into Athens. The Wreck Parade is held the Saturday morning of Homecoming and is the last event before the homecoming football game. The Ramblin\u0026rsquo; Reck leads the parade that begins at McCamish Pavilion and ends at the intersection of Ferst and Fowler. The Wreck Parade originally consisted of two vehicle categories: Fixed Bodies and Classic Cars. Contraptions have to be human powered and is by far the most interesting and favorite among students. It challenges their engineering ability and tests their creativity. Today, students can enter any of the three categories, so expect to see lots of classic cars, unbelievable fixed bodies, and interesting, self-powered contraptions designed by fellow Tech students. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/forms.gle\/3sZivf2qLZLPSwa97\u0022\u003EEnter a Classic Car\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EPlease email the event coordinators below with any questions. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIsabel Wickliffe \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nHOCO Reck Club Chair\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:Isabel.Wickliffe@gatech.edu \u0022\u003EIsabel.Wickliffe@gatech.edu \u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBrittany Powell \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nFCR Sub-Chair\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:brittanypowell@gatech.edu \u0022\u003Ebrittanypowell@gatech.edu \u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHaley McElroy \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nFCR Sub-Chair\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:haleyrmcelroy@gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ehaleyrmcelroy@gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ECome watch Georgia Tech\u0026#39;s most unique event in Homecoming: the Wreck Parade!\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Come out to watch a varieCome watch Georgia Tech\u0027s most unique event in Homecoming: the Wreck Parade!  ty of vehicles drive down Fowler Street before the big game.
