You can find Steve at Revelation on Thursday running over kids' Tmaxxs with his TRUGGY! Might submit for early retirement from TC and concentrate on his offroad high-jump, dont case the truggy skills! This is the last guy I would have ever figured for a dirt kid. He is much too clean.
***2006 Update - Maxxtruck.com is retired, SpeedtechNitro is born. Steve got really dirty this year. He traded in his slicks for crimefighters. Better known now to monster mash buggies and clearing the quads -Steve found new life hitting the moguls at Revelation. A new store space and finally get Horizon on board. Oh, he was the force behind Dawsons run at the TCS Nationals.
-Charlie S, The Announcer and Race Promoter. We really know you would rather be driving.

***2006 Update - T - GET OVER IT. Kev has opened his on travelling tamiya shop. Known to have the rare parts trackside - he is often found supplying Dawsons runs at many big races including KO and TCS. Thanks Kev. Tigress is born, Kevins trackside team manager.

TAOB, the tribe!
***2004 Update - Ian Aquino wins TCS Nats along with long time rival turned good friend Ling Kang Tong and fellow bud Neil R.
***2005 Update - Too many of them to count or name. TAOB was stealth in Q4 of '05 after the great "GREY MARKET AFFAIR". TAOB saw some of its members break rank and go outside of the Tamiya "Secret TCS Order". They spawned children in '05. Word is someone is getting possibly hitched but NOT til 2007.
***2006 Update - TAOB had some rough patches this year. Hopefully these guys will find a way to reconnect. That guy who was getting hitched has yet to even put a trailer ball his Tamiya ride.....
Jasper David gets hitched..... TAOB adopts CoBroRa...and form a big happy family with RRR.
-CB, no one has as much paint to sniff as this guy! Good he has it under lock and key! King of OCCircuit
***2005 Update - Charlie and family continue to run one of the longest running RC TC series anywhere. He will be known as the Grand Ol Man of RC Parking Lot Racing. Spent some time on the track this year. Look for a comeback. Be sure to check out his paint site. Soon to be the largest RC Painting site on the web.
***2006 Update - CB continues to bring racing to Socal after YEARS. Congrats CB.
-AE Tony, used to be known as TQ Tony until Don V started stealing some wins!
***2005 Update - He has his house, a dog, a front yard fence! What could be next>>>>>>>>>> Head promo and creative guy at AE. He hasnt found that one class he wants to focus on yet. Look for this guy to pull 6 different classes on a race day and ask race director for another round of qualifying. Word is, he is staging some huge game at the Dirt Oval world. But first, he will have to get a car, till then he is really going in circles!!!!!!
***2006 Update - HE IS GETTING MARRIED!
-Richard "I only fly with Orange flames" Smith, long time OC Racer. Working for that big F1 win
***2005 Update - Top finisher in the TCS Series in F201 and OC Regular. RS bleeds Orange. Look for RS to lay some hurt in '06 without a track cut!
***2006 Update - Top finisher in the TCS Series in F201 and OC Regular. RS bleeds Orange. Look for RS to lay some hurt in '07 - he doesnt cut the track anymore!!!!!!!
-Gibbous, long time OC Racer
***2005 Update - After many years away from RC, he is back. I remember him well from the California R/C days. He was one of the first guys to have website up for his r/c cars. Welcome back!
***2006 Update - Back and enjoying racing. Good to see a guy that I first asked, 'how fast do those things go" still race and enjoy it.
-Howard "Grand Old Man, Ol'Timer, Ol'School, DontCallMeGrumpy, IHatePinkBodies, TheEnforcer"
***2005 Update - Howard has been around longer than anyone, except for Gus and Ron Rossetti! Good for thought provoking threads and many laughs, Howard is always the frst guy at the track and last to leave. They usually say dont feed the old birds, but give this guy a pack of cigarettes and he is your buddy for life. He can usually be spotted under his blue tent and 2-part office chair. Often mistaken for the worst, he is an old dog with new dog tricks and big bark. He is almost part pussy cat. Howard is always a big help to the OC Circuit with track prep and keeping the young-ones in line. Little did I know he has a son. Look for his kid to take on more driving duites this year. H2 is big and bad, the Hummer site says it best, 'LIKE NOTHING ELSE'
***2006 Update - Relocated due to bitterness, Howard is now in some state starting with an I - hiding from his alter ego. Happy New Year Howard!
