Why MCR?

We've raced at Le Mans. We've raced Moroso. We've gotten some of the biggest names in the history of racing to the finish line first and we can do the same for you. Ultimately our goal is to provide our clients with the best car on the track, whether they are an experienced shoe or a newcomer to the racing scene.

How do we do this? It's all about preparation. At MCR, we are extremely detailed about the maintenance and preparation of our racecars. Racing is serious business and the smallest mistake in the shop can cause major problems on the racetrack.

We are proud that our drivers have peace of mind from the moment they climb into the car for their first practice session until they take the checkered flag. They trust they are driving a safe, well-prepared racecar focus on winning.

Services

If it has four wheels and it doesn't have the word "stock" attached to it, there is a good chance we have worked on it. Our staff has an amazing 120 years of overall experience in racing, and can provide you the security and preparation you need to perform well on the track.

MCR's race shop is located in a 8,000 square foot facility in Jupiter, Florida, which puts us in close proximity to tracks like Moroso, Daytona, Sebring and Miami-Homestead. We have all the necessary equipment to provide a high-level of service both on and off the track.

We provide complete racing preparation services; here are just a few we offer:

• In-Shop Race Prep - At MCR, we provide everything you need to run a safe, reliable and, most importantly, fast racecar. From complete rebuild to chassis set-up, MCR will get your car ready for the track. Our years of experience on nearly every North American circuit means we have the expertise to set up your car properly; from Road Atlanta to Road America, we can make your car a contender.

• Race Weekend Services - You need to stay focused on the race; let us worry about the car. MCR offers complete race support, and has equipment for any type of race. We can transport your car to and from events and have everything needed to work on the car at the track

• Research & Development - Sure, you might have the same equipment as the next guy, but that doesn't mean you can't go faster. Over the years, we have assisted factory race teams to make their racecars factors through one simple ingredient: ingenuity. We specialize in making race cars faster and can give you that competitive edge

• Fabrication - In the racing scene, especially the vintage racing scene, availability of parts isn't always as great as one would expect. It is important that your team can provide you with a working car, even if a part needs to be recreated on short notice. MCR is equipped with complete fabrication facilities from lathes to welders and will make sure your car is always on the track

• Paint & Body - Okay, let's face it, every driver has a mistake. You'll see the drivers we have worked with in our Why MCR section.  Trust us, we have had to perform Paint & Body work on nearly all of them. The important thing is that the job is done right, as the smallest inconsistency can offset the aerodynamics of the race car and ruin your chances of victory. Outfitted with a paint booth, MCR can take care of your fiberglass and painting needs.

Accolades

Excellence Magazine
Heralded as "the legendary crew chief" by Excellence (The Magazine about Porsche), Michael Colucci attracts top endurance customers as well as high profile vintage customers.

The following is a brief excerpt from the article, "Resurrection at Sebring" by David Colman which was featured in the June, 1996 issue of Excellence. The article recounts MCR's involvement in Champion Porsche's unbelievable win at Sebring in 1996 in the Porsche 911 Evolution Turbo at the hands of Hans Stuck and Bill Adam. Adam had flipped the car in traffic at Daytona only a month prior, with MCR having to rebuild the car just in time for Sebring.

"...At the beginning of the 1995 season, Dave Maraj, owner of Champion, resolved to succeed in racing the way he had succeeded in Porsche sales - by hiring the best talent he could find. As Champion's racing manager, Don Skuta, puts it, "We decided to take our program to the next level." In Porsche distance racing, that meant retaining the services of Mike Colucci, the legendary crew chief who began his career in 1973 with Peter Gregg's Brumos Team, and subsequently worked for Ted Field's Interscope Racing, Preston Henn's T-bird SwapShop, and Jim Busby's BF Goodrich entourage...."

In the end, the car MCR rebuilt and improved within a month's time won the race, and gave Champion Porsche its first major endurance victory.
