I started driving RC Cars at the age of 6, My brother, dad and I would race at Keilor Off Road RC Track when the weather allowed us to. In September 2017, we traveled to Knox for a race (first time trying another track) This is where it all truly began. From this meet we started to race weekly. In January 2018 we started our Facebook page as a way to document our progress, like a diary, but one that others can follow. 2018 was a great year for us. Later in the year my mum also started racing with us making it even better. Our holidays became RC holidays. We travelled to many different tracks for the first time (Wodonga, Mildura, Adelaide and Shepparton) raced in many big events and made many new friends. I learnt a lot and had a ball. It was also the year I started to drive stadium truck, and ran in the stock class for club events.

In 2018, I ran in many club meets – in Keilor and Knox as they run alternative weeks  (1^st and 3^rd week Knox, 2^nd and 4^th Keilor)– a post has been written for all of these as it is great to look back at our journey. I also ran all the bigger events in Victoria and the Nationals in Adelaide.

I do my own wrenching (building and maintaining my cars) as it helps me learn how things work. I am currently experimenting with car set up, finding out how changes affect the buggies, finding out what works at what track, I also love helping beginners and others with there cars on and off the track. I really enjoy it when other kids come see RC Racing for the first time and come up to me to ask questions and I am able to answer their questions.

Next years goal is to improve my driving, continue to learn set ups so I can get into the A-main in the Australian National,

Long term goal – Race at the Worlds, help to promote this great sport, share my experience with others and continue to enjoy it with my family and friends.
