My acceptance into 5off5on Pit crew training.
Not many of you know who i truly am. Except a few i reconize each day. So heres my chance for you to understand what ive been doing. Doing all this while working 40 hours a week sometime overtime as much as 66 hours a week.
*graduated hopatcong high 2008
* graduated Nascar technical institute Nov 2009 good GPA, good attendence,directors honors list.
* Jan 4th,2010 i started Pit crew U this is not part of NTI it is a school in its own. Its a 8 week pit crew training class to find out if you have the althletic abilitly and mental ability to pursue a job as a pit crew member. ( Im attaching a video link below so you can further understand what the training program is).

*Sept 2006 I got the opportunity to go volunteer for a north busch series race at lime rock park in CT for joey mccarthy whos no longer around. I loved every second of it and knew this was a job for me. I was asked by the crew chief to come to CA for a race but being i was still in High school i couldnt take off.
* Sum it up im that much closer to a job as a tire changer either front or rear, tire carrier i could do with more practice but i have the body build of a changer and quickness. Im not tall enough for a jack man nor weigh enough the more ideal person for that is a 6'4" guy maybe 220lbs
*It could be anywhere from 6 months to a year of more training and hopefully by next season have a job on either an ARCA series team or a Camping world truck series team. These two series is where you start at and as you gain experience maybe a year to 3 years move up to the nation wide or sprint series. there is no particular team i want to work for anything in either the ARCA series or camping world truck series where ever there is the job.
