We’ve had great success running the racing program at Valkaria RC, bringing in the Boy Scouts of America, and now the Girl Scouts as well to our new RC racing facility. Our Drag Racing program has been delayed a bit to help our local community with the help of Hobbytown USA of West Melbourne, as well as Superior Hobbies of Casselberry, FL with Callagy Tire, Sun Stoppers, and PNP, and Skyman Park at the Valkaria Airport.

Just watching the kids faces light up when they get to see and participate in a radio controlled race is so gratifying, we hope to do so much more for them this year.

Still not liking the seats for this car. So far we shaved about 100 lbs with the new interior parts.
