Looking for a tech school

im 18 and im constantly looking for a good tech school that will teach me in at least one of the following programs/fields:
-auto custom fabrication
-autotronics
-high performance engines
what it all comes down to is that i really want to tune cars, work with a dyno, open a shop, and eventually try to get into rally racing as a driver.

big dreams for a chick, but i gotta start somewhere.

any school ideas?

Try Dunwoody in Minneapolis to start. Very good school. May not be what you want but at least look at the offerings. Good luck.

Re: Looking for a tech school

Try www.wyotech.com , a well known school which offers a wide curriculum covering all the items you mentioned and more . There are other schools of this type but this is the best known . Go to their website and judge for yourself . If you've ever seen the Extreme 4x4 tv show on the Spike channel , you've seen one of their alumni . The blond gal ( forget her name ) graduated from Wyotech . Let us know what you find out and what you decide , Good Luck !

thanks to both of you.
ive looked at wyotech and requested info (because theres no direct "apply here" link)
and i havent heard from them.
i requested it over a month ago.
Maybe you can help me out on 1 other thing:
Ive been accepted to Texas State Technical College in Harlingen, TX.
