Where can RC's go?
We at FAST RC WORLDS are constantly asked about doing a race for Ovals, Nitro, on-road, off road and all the rest so let us give you our short term and long term plans. Our business model calls for each division to have Their Own Big Cash Race. Ovals will have a WSD Race all to their selves. If the support isn't there then that part of the WSD will be put aside. The Series is about what will fire up the public... NON RACERS to be exact and the youth to be even more specific. Everyone points to off road nitro because of the noise and the similarity to NASCAR ( our business model ) but all factors must be weighed. Cost, accessibility to accommodating tracks, racers support, industry support the list goes on. The skeptics abound but they were also there in the snow, in Vt. telling the Snowboarders to get off the mountains don't upset the already established skiers. They were at the town meetings trying to ban Skateboarding as it upset people in the towns and cities. It is RC's Time to follow those sports to public acceptance and success. With the net and a crazy number of cable channels to get this out it is time to get "Heads on the Races". We are willing to commit the time, money and energy to give RC's a Shot at the Big Time.

WSD Postponed
FAST RC WORLDS regrets to announce that the Inaugural $25,000 Indoor Carpet World Series for Drivers that was Scheduled for Oct 11-14 is postponed to an as yet undetermined date. We felt with only 50 entries in the single biggest cash awards race in RC History the race would not advance the Sport and would actually deter from the thousands of first time viewers possibly catching the RC bug and helping to advance RC Racing. After consulting with our sponsors and weighing all the potential outcomes the decision was made to refund all the racers who have paid entree fees and postpone the race. We are now free to direct our attention to the fastest growing and most exciting segment of the RC racing scene today NITRO OFF ROAD!
The $25.000 Nitro Off Road race will be held here late winter early spring 2007 on a date to be announced. The classes under consideration are as follows:
Production Monster Truck –
1/10th Nitro Truck –
Stadium Truck (Truggy) –
Expert Stadium Truck (Truggy) –
1/8th Scale Buggy –
Expert 1/8th Scale Buggy –
For complete details go to www.fastrcworlds.com
Finally, we would like to thank the many, many positive people who have supported our efforts especially the magazine editors of this great Sport. They seem to understand what it will take for the Sport to take the next step up to wider acceptance and growth. In closing we talked with our various sponsors as what to do with the prize money of this postponed event. It came down to two choices double the next races giveaways’ or reward those who wanted to come. We all decided to reward those who supported us. So we are issuing $500 dollar checks to all the drivers who entered and paid their fees to attend the postponed event. Thank you
