Mechanical engineering is what you want to take. I’m in the same boat as you. I’ve loved cars since I was little. I love working on cars and I love just being around cars lol. Currently I race stock cars (dirt track). My dad raced from 2000-03, and I’ve been racing since 2006.

We have built motors for our racing team and I just love seeing how they work, and knowing what it takes to get more performance out of them (i.e. porting/polishing the heads and intake, spiral grooving the exhaust manifold, selecting the right cam, working on the carb to get the right fuel/air mixture, etc).

My dream job: Working for Roush (or other similar performance company) designing performance engines.

I’ll be going to Kansas State in 2012 and will continue to race until I’m unable to climb in and out of a racecar.
