Merry Christmas All - from our Pits to yours 🏁

Thats a wrap on our 2025 season 🏁 Cliff and I have had the privilege of running many different series both sides of the border, in many eras and let me tell you there is nothing like SOMA. We want to take this opportunity to thank all our Sponsors who choose our club to represent your brand. To the track owners who choose to let “us” put on a show for your fans (Flamboro, Sauble and Sunset) we enjoyed every minute. To our volunteers who kept us in-line, on time and smiling, thanks for all your hard work. To the SOMA Sweethearts who kept each one of our bellies full after the races or before we headed out - your generosity and dishes where delicious ❣️ To the Mercer Family, for all you do all year long so we can have the best season possible and continue to grow this group. To my crew, you stood on your heads, patched us up, and did anything asked of you, for that I can’t thank you enough.
We are a unique group of 60 year old rookies, with 15 year old veterans, all willing to help a fellow competitor get back on the track, so we can race them to the next corner. We celebrate personal bests as much as checkered flags, and love to give back to our fans. We are a “gentleman’s club where respect, integrity and honour abound. We are a racing family that always has room for one more. So if you want a safe space for your kid to go after karting, or your grandchild wants to tryout open wheel racings or better yet YOU want to fulfill a dream or just get behind the wheel again, we might be the club for you. Contact [email protected] and become part of the FAMILY 🏁

💙 SOMA 4 LIFE 💙

WHAT A NIGHT for Baby Gorilla Racing 😁
Not only did our fearless leader bring home an incredible 1st Place Plaque for this season …. so did our amazing pit crew❣️ Congratulations Louise and Ray for being voted Pit Crew 2025. This girl couldn’t be more excited for Baby Gorilla Racing as a team!!! We had a fun filled banquet with laughs, awards, great music and screens showing both the hockey game and the ball game!! What more could a girl ask for? Well when she is part of a family like SOMA the answer is nothing 🏁

Never let anyone guide your timeline 🏁
