“I was given the opportunity to go to Laguna Seca for the Lamborghini Super Trofeo series with my team on graduation day. When all my classmates were walking, I was on pit lane with my car watching it roll out for race one.”

Steve Mauro

“I chose ��Ӱֱ�� State because the program is primarily focused on getting hands-on, tools-on experience. I want to be able to not only work on cars and heavy equipment outside my home but also do work on my own vehicles.” 

Michael Berthin

“Having to trust the other guys on the team when we worked on the truck in a parking lot every night or trusting our navigator was crucial for our success in the race.”  

Carter Polhamus

“I was not really planning on going to college but when I found out that ��Ӱֱ�� State had motorsports and a good buddy of mine came here, I came down here for the day. I hung out at the senior shop, and I just fell in love with the place. I cannot be happier that I chose this place.”

“The Power Wagon gets so much attention. We hope to move from Kentucky to Maine with minimal problems. The students this year focused on getting the truck back together. We really built it to make it reliable. It has to drive 2,300 miles all the way up the east coast.”

Caryl Koch

“We had a great day of competition and I look forward to seeing our New York State team compete at Nationals,” 

NYS SkillsUSA College Postsecondary director Craig R Clark, PhD.

 “The best part of the program is that you get so much experience. They try to simulate real world situations. The instructors have so much experience. They have answers for pretty much every scenario that me and my classmates have. We are always learning something new.”

Farhad Begaliev

“These cars are great learning tools for our students. The repairs that the students perform are like what they will see when they get into the workplace. Challenges like this force our students to step up their skills and reinforces what they have learned during their time in this program.”
