PROGRAM OVERVIEW
2

The Drill and Dozer Programs were designed to allow attendees to

visit several of our most popular U.S. locations in just over a week.
We’ve worked with our product groups to align programs so we can
offer you a multi-purpose trip, allowing you to get the maximum value
from your investment in time and travel costs.
The programs include the impressive facility in Texas where we make Cat ® drills; our Tinaja
Hills Demonstration & Learning Center in Arizona, home to live demonstrations and in-the-
iron experiences; and the renowned building in Illinois where every Cat large dozer has been
manufactured.
The trip to Arizona also includes a unique NASCAR experience at ISM Raceway in Phoenix.
Attendees will be treated to a VIP experience at the race, where the Cat car will have a large
dozer theme.
While our hope is that attendees will sign up for all three locations, the drill, dozer and NASCAR
programs are available as individual offerings.
