On December 7th, we hosted a charity race to help support the Wood County Children’s Service. This was our second year in a row running this race. Turnout was a little lighter than the first year running, but the generosity of those that attended would state the opposite. I want to personally thank each and every one of you that donated toys and money. Christmas time can be a hardship for many families. Our goal is to bring a smile to those kids in less fortunate families.

If the generosity of our racers wasn’t impressive enough, the racing was over the top. It is always a great time seeing the more experienced racers run. And then we have racers that are just starting out. Watching these newer racers improve with each lap is always a great time. Congratulations to all of the 2024 Reindeer Trot podium finishers.

In our Novice class, Jason Cope started first on the grid, followed by his young son, Ryan. Jason put up a great battle, by Ryan was able to quickly get by him for the number one position. Jason applied pressure many times, but Ryan ran a great race and came out the victor. Great job Ryan on your 1st of many RC racing victories!
