Got into Nascar Technical Institute
 

Well thought I should share the news with everyone. After hearing about how transamkid got accepted in college I figure I share you with my acceptance. The program is 15 months straight and I start aug 2008. A branch school of UTI (universal technical institute). Is located in the heart of nascar in Mooresville,NC. Get a 10 day break for X-mas and just non stop classes. I have a local family friend that worked as a crew chief for Joey McCarthy in the North busch series nascar. While I am going to school, He will try and help me get into one of the shops as like a clean up boy to get a start in a shop. fall 2006 I spent a weekend at Limerock park in CT working on Joey McCarthys nascar team he ended up with a 2nd place finish. I was allowed to work in the pits but just not allowed over the wall because I wasnt offically part of the team. I am not offically into the school until they see my high school dipolam. I dont see any reason they wouldnt at the current time the report card is filled with A's and B's.

Excellent news!!!!

congrats.
if you get any electives, get into the chassis side of the sport. especially if they have anything for sports cars or road racing. there is a serious shortage of good chassis people in pretty much every form of motorsports right now

After talking to my rep he realized how serious I am about this and I believe he checked me off for the chassi elective but not postive wont know until spring. When I have a class meeting in March.

Thats great!! Congrats man!

Congrats man! Hopefully everything works out for you. It should be a great program.

Congrats!

You'll have to tell us more about it as you find out what your classes will be and things.

Thank you everyone and updates will be coming in the spring.

Congrats as I toldja before! Hope you have fun, keep us updated on what it's like.

Congrats! I wish I would have went that route when I was younger, probably will be the best choice you will ever make if you really have a love for MV's...

awesome man

Congrats!!! :)

congrats on the acceptance !

Congrats dude!

Good luck.

Way to go bud!! That should be great experience. And good luck with getting into a race shop. You will have a blast working for a nascar team. I worked a few Busch and Arca races in 95 and had the time of my life.

that's awesome, good luck with it!

nice! let us know how the program goes

nice bro:nod:

i know a kid who went to the one in arizona

Nice theres 2 in AZ UTI and MMI which one do you know and how long after he came out did he start working?

nice job man, maybe u could end up gettin a used motor for cheap haha. but yea deff get into the chassis side of it, that is what is winning the races now-a-days which the strict limits on motors and the car of tomorrow

Well here's an update just got off the phone with a woman from the education department of NTI and she recieved my packet of teacher recomendation letters and my own letter. She liked the fact that I am in an "extensive" english honor program. But not that she knows but this year I am not in english honors anymore.

Nice job, dude! Sounds like an awesome future ahead.

im not sure exactly...but i know it was the nascar program and as far as him working hes stupid...because after he graduated he never pursued into the nascar field and ended up working at a small time auto shop and now he works at home depot so it was kind of a waste unless he decides to pick back up...

but as for u, if ur passionate enough about it and u follow through im sure youl get a job in no time..ive heard UTI is very good at hooking people up
