Motorsports Welding School
Lincoln's Precision TIG® 275

Lincoln Electric invites you to attend our Motorsports Welding School held at our World Headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio and learn what we know about Motorsports welding. You will work side by side other students who are involved in different aspects of the Motorsports industry, giving you a chance to interact and learn first hand from their experiences as well.

Course format includes:

  • Safety
  • 70% Hands on Welding
  • 30% Classroom lecture and discussion
  • Class size limited to 12 students

Here's what some former students had to say:

"I've been involved with welding for 10 years and I picked up a lot of ideas that even I didn't know. All 16 of our fabricators attended this school."

Shane Love, Joe Gibbs Racing / NASCAR Nextel Cup

"After taking the Advanced Motorsports Training offered from Lincoln, not only did I gain knowledge but the benefits of the ongoing support are priceless. It's great to be a part of the Lincoln family."

- Chris Lafollette, Target Chip Ganassi Racing / Indy Racing League
