    In My Opinion Podcast: Host Tony Rogers - RC Dirt Oval

    Forget everything you think you know about RC racing — this episode reveals the unfiltered truth about growth, community, and the future of the hobby. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by constant class changes, key race numbers, or the passion behind building better tracks, you need to hear this. Buckle up, because there are no babysitting vibes here—just raw insights, big names, and the real stories from the trenches. In this fiery episode, the host takes you through an eye-opening look at the current state of RC racing: from massive race numbers (over 11,000 cars in a season!) to the importance of supporting every class, big or small. You'll discover how purpose-built cars dominate the scene, accounting for nearly three times the number of non-purpose-built models—yet every class still counts in the big picture. We break down the strategies behind maintaining track quality, the power of collaboration—think track owner roundtables—and how common tools like live timing can level up your game. We explore the community's unspoken rules, the necessity of supporting other tracks, and why staying adaptable is crucial in a sport that evolves at lightning speed. The episode shares success stories from the Midwest, upcoming race series shaping the season, and the importance of building relationships that grow the sport for everyone—whether you race in Illinois, Wisconsin, or Iowa. Perfect for track owners, racers, and hobbyists hungry for authentic perspective—this isn't just talk; it's a rallying cry to support our hobby, grow the community, and stay ahead of the curve. If you're serious about making RC racing better, supporting the classes you love, or just want a no-nonsense look at what drives the hobby forward, hit play now. The future of RC is happening here—and it’s more exciting than ever.
