What got them into R/C:
Around 2010 I got a Traxxas Stampede. I would bash around the yard/parking lots with it. I found R/C Excitement and drove it on the track a bit and was hooked on racing ever since. 
Experiences they have had in RC: 
For me, the best moments in RC was making the A main back to back in 4wd modified at the 2017 and 2018 JConcepts Fall Indoor Nationals. That was when I decided to take racing more seriously. Then, in 2022 I TQ’ed and won the 40+ E Buggy class at Psycho Nitro Blast along with making a podium in Intermediate E-Buggy and a top 10 in Open E Truggy.
