I went to the Tri State Remote Control Auto Racing club in Hamilton, OH this Sunday. They have been around for a LONG time, but I was surprised to find that they didn't have any video for promotion on their website. So I went out and shot the following video and edited it as a promo for them.

I used to be BIG into RC.... but haven't been in a long time, I might get back into now, RC racing if HUGE in Ohio.

Are these the cars that run off a form of gas?

Yes, they run on Hobby Nitro Methane. It's a mix of Methanol, Oil and Nitro Methane.

Good job on the video. It does work nicely as a promo/interest builder.

Yes, but I dont think there are any Gas RC tracks in the Cleveland area.

Here is a place in the Cleveland area with on road indoor "carpet" racing. http://www.clevelandcarpetracing.com/

There is a couple of places up there for off road gas and electric too.

i like the 10th scale and 12th scale but the 8th scale is so much fun I race for a hobby shop here in Springfield. Check out our website
I like the pit stop, that was pretty cool. Anyway.... check out our site!
