Tim's background in RC racing goes back over 20 years competing in Oval, Drag racing and high speed runs during most of that time, but has also competed in RC Helicopters and Boats. Now on a mission to reach 200mph with his bad ass land rockets maintained on top of the Screw Catcher Pit Mat line and Lubricated with the secret sauce... MOO-Slick!

Welcome to the family Tim, it is an honor to have you on the team!
