Note: We thought it would be a cool feature to do student interviews on a regular basis. So here is the first installment of our new student interview section.
Damon Sandoval lives on the Morongo Indian Reservation in CA. He, along with three of his cousins and two of his good friends from the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation all joined the Wizard Schools of Fabrication at the same time and are on the same team. They started in February 2006 at the Riverside facility and as you can see in the photo, their car is almost complete. Details on the car include a mid-engine four-seat layout, with long-travel A-arms front and rear. Like most cars built by students, the team came up with the looks of the car on their own, with some design ideas thrown in by the instructors.
So we pulled Damon aside at the beginning of class recently to get his thoughts on the Wizard School. When asked if he had any prior experience before taking this course he replied, “No, none at all. It was all new to me.” He continued by saying, “It was pretty easy to pick up. There are great guys teaching and they show you everything.” Damon commented that since he had no prior experience everything he learned was equally new, however he was most impressed at learning how to design suspension with proper geometry. Asked for his overall impression of his experience at Wizard Schools, Damon commented, “The school is great, with a really good atmosphere. I liked it so much that I have already signed up for the SCORE Trophy Truck 101 class that I will be taking with my cousins once we finish this first class.” In closing Damon explained that he and his cousins like fabricating so much now that they will be opening their own shop. “We already have a building, just need to come up with a name.”
Right on guys, and welcome to the world of fabricating.
