The new release ticker reads like a who’s who in the racing world – Team Associated, Kyosho, TLR. Each of the major marquees released long-awaited kits to their already killer stables. Many will say “So what?,” well, now it’s time to put them all to the test at one of the best racing locations in the Midwest. Along with one of the most exciting kit releases of the year comes a new name and sponsor to the beloved annual event – The 2016 Team Associated Off-Road Championships.

That’s right! Despite Mother Nature’s argument, the summer months are drawing to a close and reign of the mosquito is nearing its end. Naturally, these changes herald the coming of many things: fall, football, and of course the most important of them all: racing! Once again, Trackside will play host to some of the very best in the world during the first week of November. RC Racers across the country will be traveling from the east and west coasts, the high altitudes of Colorado, and many other exotic locales like Green Bay, Lake Forest and Saint Paul. All descend on Milwaukee to take home the hardware in their favorite class!

Still reeling from last year’s tedious contract negotiations we have bowed to all demands and once again obtained the world-renowned golden throat of Scotty Ernst to announce the event.
