The night got off to a good start with Melcolm laying down the 6th quickest lap in timed hot laps in his group, earning a P6 starting spot for the heat race.
We worked hard to battle forward and fought for position, but despite our efforts, we came up just short and crossed the line in 7th.
The highlight of the evening was Fan Appreciation Night. It was incredible meeting so many fans, sponsors, and supporters of all ages. Thank you to everyone who stopped by the car, grabbed an autograph & goodies, took photos, and shared some laughs with us. Your support means the world and is what keeps us pushing every week.
Come feature time, Melcolm was set to roll off 14th in a stacked field, but not before the team was faced with starter issues for the second race night in a row. The crew worked quickly once again to get the M75 ready to take the green, showing the determination and teamwork that defines this team.
Melcolm worked hard, racing hard in a tough field and steadily making progress through the pack. Unfortunately, bad luck struck once again. On lap 22, Melcolm made the smart decision to shut it down and pull the car into the pits after noticing a U-joint beginning to fail.
While it wasn't the finish we were hoping for, preserving equipment and avoiding further damage was the right call.
These setbacks are frustrating, but they won't define our season. We'll regroup, make the necessary repairs, and come back ready to fight another day.
As always, a huge thank you to our incredible sponsors, crew, family, and fans for your continued support. We couldn't do this without you, and we'll be back stronger next week! ๐

The night started off with a quick car and a determined kid. Melcolm was 7th quickest overall in his hot laps with a challenging field.
The heat race would see Melcolm starting in P1. With a field full of veterans , Melcolm would race hard with side by side battle for majority of the heat and finish in P4 position. Giving us a good start for the feature.
Feature race time and our driver would start in P1.
He would take the green and shoot out like a rocket leading the field into turn 1 and coming off turn 2 door to door with the 2025 track champion. Melcolm would continue challenging and running the top 3 just under half the race. The highside seemed to be the running spot for this kid as he remained focused and determined completing personal best timed laps.
A couple cautions would unfortunately play a factor into our race allowing the tires to cool down. We would continue battling our way in the field taking the checkered flag in P8.
This race was one for the books. Our driver got valuable seat time running with some of the top drivers of the 358 Modified division.
We couldn't be prouder of the outcome of the night. Every lap is a lesson, every race is a step forward. Proud to come home with a P8 finish, and we'll keep working harder every week.
Onward and upward!
A huge thank you to our amazing sponsors for your continued support and belief in our team.
