I've been into RC racing now for about 5 years, racing mainly dirt oval, but occasionally dabbling in offroad and carpet oval racing. My goal for this blog is discuss the thriving RC community in the Midwest to the extent that I am able to get to. Maybe it helps to get a few more people interested in this great hobby, maybe not. Either way, I'm only out some words.
I'm not an expert, engineer, or even a particularly talented driver. I've learned some stuff, but probably have even more stuff that I don't know about this hobby yet. Hopefully, I can share a few things, spark a few discussions and provide some direction for people trying to get into the hobby.
One of the first things you learn in this hobby is that you need to dig to find information, updates, and news about what's going on in your area. Sites like: Dirtoval.com and Hobbytalk.com are great for folks that know where the RC action is in their area, but those threads are typically track based and very promotional in nature. The folks that run those threads typically don't appreciate people hijacking their thread or talking about other tracks, so a lot of times, you don't get the whole picture of what's going on in RC in a particular area.
