My "teammate" works at DMI and assembles rear ends, and is a dam good machinist on the side. I know some setup stuff, and still learning. My point is, UNOH has a good program that focuses around IMCA/UMP style modifieds. Im into open wheel dirt cars. Why pay a lot of money and learn what I could learn for free, or at the very most a pitpass every week?

Why? Because physics doesn't change when you cross state lines, race different surfaces, or race a particular type of car. The name of the racing game is always the same, optimize the vehicle/driver combination. Whether you learn it with a mod, sprint, late-model, or bomber on dirt or asphalt, it really doesn't matter. And it's not about how much you can probably learn, it's more about how quickly. Since you're in a focused program and environment at UNOH, you'll learn things in 3 or 4 yrs what may take decades to just 'pick-up' at the cost of a pitpass.
