Grasso Tech ACCR Department Getting Ready
for Racing Action at the Waterford Speedbowl

Last year's extremely successful racing effort in the X car division resulted in a 3rd place in the final season standings. The Grasso Auto Collision Repair and Refinishing (ACRR) students are more determined than ever to show their stuff at the front of the pack in this year's racing season.

The team is putting the finishing touches on this season's racecar, recently taking delivery of it from the chassis fabricator (Sunset Welding). The chassis fabrication process was heavily documented by the fabricator, to allow students to see what it takes to create a safe and structurally sound racecar. Portions of the car were left for the students to complete, and the team of ACRR students were anxious to get  ”hands on” involved with the completion.

Our young professionals in training have risen to the challenge put forth by Mr. Violette, and the car will surely be completed in time for the new season starting May 6th. Although the team was proud of last year's effort, it also fueled their desire to out do themselves this year.

Many of the students involved in this effort include the sons and daughters of Speedbowl racing legends. Some of these parents offer assistance with car setup to help us further improve this Championship seeking conquest. Stay tuned…..
