Hi guys,

I took auto mechanics as a career preparation program in highschool. I would reccommend the program to anybody who enjoys auto mechanics. My highschool didn't have a drag car to participate in high school drag racing competitions, there are other high schools that participate.

If the subject interests you ( this goes for anything) then you will strive to do well by learning on your own. There are many good high performance books out there that deal with engine dynamics and building.

I learned hands-on skills in high school auto shop. I learned basic theory and troubleshooting. My main interest is drag racing, so I steady engine and chassis dynamics on my own because I am working towards a career in motorsports.

As far as not being able to attend University after highschool and attain a Bachelors Degree in whatever disipline you desire, that's not true. You can go to college and then bridge over to university to finish a university degree. Both routes will take the same amount of time and end up with the same piece of paper!
