On Wednesday, May 8th, Automotive Technology students, Max Jones from Sanford and Dylan Baker from Massabesic, went to CMCC in Auburn to compete in the 2024 Maine Ford ACE State contest. They placed third against eight other auto tech teams from around the state, each of whom had won their local competitions a few weeks ago. The competition consisted of a written ASE technician exam and a troubleshooting skills test, where each team had to diagnose and repair as many issues as they could locate in identically bugged 2024 Ford Broncos. Although they missed out on the first place prize of a 2024 Ford Mustang GT for the school, their third place win got them each a set of their own professional mechanics tools. The competition was made possible by the Ford Motor Company, CMCC, AAA Northern New England, the NAPA Network and local Ford dealerships. Instructor Richard Couture and the team extend their thanks to Frank Kendall and Arundel Ford for their support for this competition and over the years.
Auto Technology students place 3rd in statewide competition.
