RC-Area – Daily RC Car News

First off I would like to take this opportunity in congratulating you in becoming the 2007 ROAR Gas Off road National Champion and thank you for taking the time in completing this interview! I thought we would keep this interview as a general interview, in order for people to get a better understanding of yourself and your racing history rather then focus on your great achievement of winning the 2007 Gas off road ROAR, which has been featured on many websites already! Anyway lets move on to the questions!

How long have you been involved in RC- Almost 15 years.

What classes have you raced-1/10th electric: 2wd, 4wd, truck, touring car, 1/10th Nitro:truck and production MT. 1/8th Nitro:Buggy and Truggy.

Have you got a favourite track if so which one- The Dirt or Thunder Alley

What was your first RC- Hot Shot.

So far are you happy with your overall progress of the season- Yes, 2007 has been an awesome year. I’m really excite that the Team is running so well. We’ve had more cars then any other manufacture in the main at all the major 1/8th races in the US and Mike and I have won all three majors. Nitro Challenge, Silver State, and ROAR Nationals.

What is your racing history- I started racing when I live in S.C. My local track was SCORE in GA. I then moved back to Michigan for work and school. I mainly race at TARCAR in the summer and CRCRC in the winter. Both tracks are located in Ohio. I moved to CA seven years ago to work for Team Losi Racing.

Regarding RC looking back would you of done anything differently- Not really, I just tried to have fun and do the best I could.

Have you got a favourite RC- Team Losi 8ight buggy.

In general do you prefer racing in the US or overseas- I enjoy both. Going overseas is always new and exciting. I like the different style tracks.

When you first started off in RC did you ever picture yourself as becoming a National Champion - I hoped so, but didn’t really know. RC isn’t something that came easy to me. I had to work very hard and practice a lot. I was always told that if you are going to do something, do your best and give 100%.
