GrassRoots R/C Podcast Podcast dedicated to Dirt Oval R/C Racing, with a special emphasis on The Grass Roots Racing Series.

23/04/2023

After much thought and consideration I’ve decided to bring the podcast back. However, I will be shifting to focusing on 1/4 Scale Oval Racing. The change reflects my changing interests. In no way am I disparaging dirt oval racing. I’ve simply moved my focus to 1/4 Scale. I’ll still drop in to a dirt oval race from time to time. I’m excited about the new experience and just want to share it with everyone. Be on the lookout for the first 1/4 scale episode real soon!
