Jay Stiffler Niles, OH I got my first RC car when I was 12. It was a Tamiya Fox. A fellow that owned a hobby shop took me to my first race track, and I was hooked. My parents bought me a RC 10 Gold Pan; it was my first real race car. I ran mostly carpet back then. I hooked up with a couple of buddy’s and started racing off-road dirt. We traveled to different race tracks. The biggest event I ever went to was the 1992 ROAR Truck Nationals in Savannah, GA. I got out of RC racing when I was 18. Then in December 2006 my sister says, “I want to get my husband a RC car so the dog can chase it around the yard.” So I went with her to look at cars. She bought him one and then a couple mouths later I bought one too, and it’s been down hill ever since. I have to thank her for that because I forgot how fun this hobby really is. When I’m not racing cars, or spending time with my wife and kids, I like to fly RC airplanes and helicopters.
