how do you get tech certified on this forum?

 

the tech cert members are chosen by the staff.

 

So do you even really need to be certified? Or is it just because the staff thinks your cool and you "sound" like you know what youre talking about?
-P.

 

typically the tech cert people are members who are recognized by members of the staff as appearing to know their stuff, and who exercise their knowledge, typically with their own vehicle...we try to avoid shop buddies, or guys who are just repeating what they read somewhere or googled.

 

Thank You,

I was just asking becauseafter finishing my 5 year tour in the Navy I went back to school and recieved an associates degree and a membership into the national technical honor society from Wyo-Tech (automotive college) and I worked at Hardcore Hotrods in San Diego, Ca. for two years and then at JBA Racing in San Diego, Ca. for a while before having to move back to virginia for financial reasons. So far i have not found any performance shops in the area that are hiring.

Where in Va are you located now?

 

I know of a shop here in NY that is expanding.

 

I am in Harrisonburg,Va now. it is about an hour andforty five minutesnorth-west of richmond.

 

Are you having trouble finding a perf shop or just one that's hiring?

 

i found one that was hiring called dryft motorsports. but 75% or more of thier business seems to be foriegn cars. i am still debating wether or not just to go ahead and do it. I also heard of another shop opening in the area soon and i think im gonna try there.
