RC Racing over at Hobby Town Gilbert

Saturday, May 4th, 2013


I met my friend Dean from WolfPak Racing down at HobbyTown USA in Gilbert for some on-road RC racing.  I have been racing all off-road vehicles up to now, but my friend Dean has racing on-road RC vehicles on and on for awhile now.  Since he was racing down at HobbyTown Gilbert on Saturday, he invited me down to try some on-road racing by letting me race his son's two cars.  I would end up racing in the VTA Oval and the Sportsman Sedan classes.



All setup in the pits ready for some racing.
I have to say, these were some fun cars to drive.  The VTA car was a blast, this is a Associated TC4, and although we were fighting a electrical issue all night, this was a fun car to drive.  Although I did not do as good on the road course in the Sportsman Sedan class as I would have liked to, this was also a fun class to race in.  By the time I got to the main with the car I was finally getting the hang of the road course, and I ended up finishing in 4th in my lower main.

Looking forward to some more on-road racing in the near future, now which car to buy first?  Any suggestions?
