I see you frequented the "LAPEER INTERNATIONAL DRAGSTRIP"! I have ran on that one a few times, what a handful, almost anything goes from what I remember. Those were the good ole days. Sounds like it will be a very nice ride when finished.

Yea, Lapeer is pretty relaxed. Tech Inspection for me was, yep your cars on a trailer, "go ahead and park over there". There were some really fast pro-touring cars there (11's) with no driveshaft loops or cages. They are old school there, family owned. They are strict with bikes though. The track is falling apart, very bumpy. Thanks for the comment.

For those of you who dont know, Wyotech is a very expensive, piece of paper.

haha, well i am learning allot of good skills. I do have some gripes with the program but they taught me allot of the fundamentals that i think will help me get my foot in the door. People go to wyotech and expect to be top notch craftsmen after 9-12 months of schooling there is just no way that will happen. Maybe my experiance is differant then most i had/have alot of really good instructors.

My Teachers talk alot about the WYO Campus. I guess you guys have more shop room and better equiptment than we do here in PA. Id like to see that campus some time.
