As many as I can. I am hoping to go to daytona and do every one over the summer, along with some while I am in school, if I can convince my profs of the need for speed...lol

How many tires do you need to prepare before a race ? Does ARCA have a tire rule telling the teams how many tires they can use during the race?

I would have to say the best part of being on Venturini Motorsports is the fact that they treat you like family. It is awesome.
Tire rules, as far as how many tires that arca says we can use, I do not know of one. We usually prepare about 2 sets of tires, depending on the size track, and tire wear observed in practice, we have had 4 set glued up this season

Well, I would have to say, last year..when we were at Springfield . There was a party that was going on a big room in the hotel, and then the party moved to the room next door, we finally went to sleep at like 3a....We had a 4am wake up call. so we could be ready to be at the track at 6am...man that turned into a fun day.

What all are you responsible for as the rear tire carrier? Everyone moves so quickly on pit stops that it kind of all blurs together but what is your job exactly?

um, other than studding the rear tires, I have to worry about making wedge adjustments, and track bar adjustments. I have 3 screws that are in the back window of the car, I have to know which way to turn each one. Thanks for the question, keep them coming.............

1. um my name it sounds Brzowski...lol Br...like your cold, zow then ski...lol
2. Background...um, everything that you have will help. I am going to school for Motorsports engineering. I have taken classes back in high school ..Automotive classes, and also I did an apprenticeship at an Auto shop. For racing experience, I have been working in racing for over 7 years. I started in a low division at a local track, Wisconsin sport trucks, then I moved up to limited late models, then to super late models. Now I am in ARCA...
3. I was at Michigan in 2004 for the Fathers Day race, and I went up and talked to Billy about my experiences, and asked what it would take to help them, and he said would you like to start next week? So, I have been with them since that moment.
4. As far as help in 06. I am not the person to ask..lol...sorry, wish I could help you, but you would have to talk to someone at the shop. But I will say the more experience that you have, the better it will be for you. I am kinda thinking that I might have rushed things a little bit, but I am only 20, and have a long way to go, and Bill and Billy have taken me under their wings so I can learn what I need to in order to be a good asset to them.
