Working as a tire changer this saturday, pro all star series
 

Several of you may know i moved to NC to go Nascar technical institute which is a branch campus of Universal technical institute. Graduated that Nov 2009 ( which means i have automotive training to work in a dealership), then in january 2010 i started training at PIT performance instruction and training for Pit crew training for a nascar level job. You do have to start out some where before you can make your way up.

Well after 2 years of hard work, finally got asked by word of mouth to work a race this saturday in wilkesboro,nc. Its not the highest level racing series but its alot farther than your average person could ever step into. And im getting payed.

My position is a tire changer, man who uses an air gun to hit lug nuts on and off, at my school we have practiced 14 second stops. Everything is a choregraph positon.

Heres the series racing

cool, good luck!

awesome!~

sweet good luck man

thats awesome does that mean you tavel around the us?

yes, but this is my 1st race with this series so i dont know if ill be doing anymore this year. Of course once you get into nascar series then you travel from east coast to west coast.

Heres the list of tracks.

that is a tough job. you better start working out. for that job you need to be DaNotSoSkinnyGuy :)

Im a sleeper like a 10 second mini van in the 1/4. Im more than what you see, don't be hating on my skinnyness my user name doesn't lie. who knows i may run faster than you, bench more,squat more, do more push ups, pull ups, handstand pushups.

hahah good ol' matt. and yes i took matt to the gym with me before. i was shocked to see what he could lift for what the eyes see. very impressive for his mass

you get more butt hurt too apparently

I suppose or maybe just maybe its about having fun :lol:
